The staff were delightful, the location allowed us to taxi to and from all of the sites and we were just a five minute walk from the Vatican which provided for our multiple visits! The hotel is pristine and the service is incredible. The concierge made us reservations for dinner at authentic restaurants to our specs and booked multiple conveniences to make our trip more special.

Stayed for 5 nights as a couple in September in the Vatican Suite. Suite was beautiful, well appointed, and the terrace was great with absolutely stunning views across the city. Housekeeping and all of the other staff were impeccable. Restored our faith after a couple of poor experiences in other 5 star hotels around the world in the past couple of months. Just sublime.

I’d like to start by saying the staff are outstanding, so friendly and very helpful, but I found the hotel to be disappointing, the hotel itself is beautiful, but our supreme room with a view was a to say the least was not a view I was expecting it was of a road and a bridge with homeless people! Our room was extremely small and the round bath very uncomfortable, on two occasions whilst we were there which was for 6 nights our room had not been cleaned by 5pm! The pool was beautiful, again staff very attentive. The spa bath at the poolside wasn’t open once during our visit, also the beautiful cocktail bar didn’t open at all for hotel guests! Perfect location though, close to all sights! But a very steep hill to climb! I’d say good at this hotel is limited for lunch and dinner, breakfast though was very good, and again staff wonderful.

We are so glad we chose Villa Agrippina for our 6 night stay due to the luxurious surroundings and fantastic staff that made the stay so fabulous. From first arriving in the grand circular drive you know you are somewhere special. The room was lovely and well maintained. The pool area was extremely relaxing. We had amazing breakfast in Amaro restaurant, and their lunch and dinner on the patio under the stars and overlooking the pool was spectacular. It is not cheap, but you get what you pay for and we couldn’t have been happier. We will definitely stay at Villa Agrippina again whenever we are in Rome!
