Our hotel room was very nice, but a little on the dark side considering the size of the windows, it was very difficult to get ready for the wedding we were attending. My mums room was was much brighter because of the bigger window, but also an additional lamp, which I think would of made a huge different to ours.... More

The room was so nice and the bed we adored..even the hard mattress had its charm..the bathtub with all those candles and small windows is just astonishing! Bed would fit 3 persons easily! The...

This hotel was in such a beautiful location, I wish that I had had more time and better weather to explore the surrounding park and villages.

The rooms are dark but cosy in a medieval... More

Santo Stefano is about 2hrs drive away from Rome. Beautiful place and the hotel is located right inside one of the most beautiful "Borgo" or castle in Italy. Believe me, my husband and I have travel far and wide but being in one of these Borgo is just amazing. Gives you the feeling of being back in ancient time during... More
