We stayed here in October of 2023 (my review is late; apologies!). The location was the best. Our main goal was to visit the Vatican and this place is literally within a 10 minute walking distance. We were able to avoid the long line-ups and large crowds at the Vatican church as we were able to make it super early (before 7 am) as the proximity of Maison Candia is really close. There are also great restaurants and shops in the nearby area. Our group is not well suited to large tourist crowds so it was definitely a plus to be able to walk back to our place of stay to relax during the day, have a nap, and go out again at night for evening festivities! It's another plus that Joseph is an amazing host. He informed us a lot of the nearby attractions and places to be cautious of. He has excellent recommendations of great restaurant and gelato stores!

Nothing!

Josef is the best, he made our stay in Rome so much more fun! :) He even catered for our special no-sugar diet needs every morning which was a huge plus, not to mention how generous the breakfast always was. He is also the Master of Omlets, you have to try his tomato one. ;) The location is perfect for those who want to stay close to Vatican City but also plan to visit the Historical City Center: Ottaviano (Line A) Metro station is just 5 minutes walk away.

Not really a big deal, but one thing to be maybe prepared for is that hot water in the morning needs couple of minutes to heat up (the shower head has multicolour LEDs that change colour according to water temperature) and water pressure for showering is not exceptionally high - but I guess this is the price you pay to stay this close to Vatican City. :)

This is a very well managed small hotel. It has only 6 rooms and you get the most personal attention and service from the manager. His name is Joseph and he's an asset: very helpful and friendly. Rooms are bright and comfortable, everything is of a good size not in american way, but Rome-wise you can say they are spacious ) The location is excellent surrounded by an endless number of shops and restaurants. 15 minutes to the Vatican by feet. The breakfast at this place is very good. You get traditional Italian cornetto and other pastries with coffee and Joseph also offers ham and cheese and very tasty omelettes.

The only downside of this place is that the window face the busy street. So if you like to sleep with the windows open you might want to consider bringing earplugs with you.

Joseph who was managing the property was very helpful getting everything set up. With three different locks to get inside the room, the room was very secure and felt safe. I left my luggage to wait for check in and Joseph gave me an extensive intro to the city with important things to be careful about. He then gave me a tour of the room and handed over the keys. The room was comfy and clean. The property is 5 minutes from the Ottaviano station and is ten minutes from the Vatican! Super convenient. The shops downstairs have a low cost feel to them but some exploration of the neighborhood revealed some excellent bars open beyond midnight!

The temperature control was hard to figure out so we woke up hot often, there was something being cooked in the living area of the apartment which led to a weird smell when you entered and since the rooms are very close to each other one should prepare to hear the other guests through the walls

Very comfortable bed. Very nice staff. Really supportive. Great location just 2 mins from Vatican

Everything was amazing, a very cosy place, clean room, the heating system works perfectly, the breakfast had the classic Italian sweets and even omelette for those who prefer something more consistent. The staff is very helpful. It is positioned 2 minutes away from Ottaviano metro station and in walking distance of Vatican. A great place.

The location is excellent - just a short walk from the Ottaviano Metro Station and surrounded by plenty of great restaurants and shops. The breakfast served was very good and it was really nice that we had the coffee machine available for the entire day. The rooms themselves are spotlessly clean, with comfortable beds. The bathrooms are also well-equipped, with everything you need to feel refreshed and ready for the day ahead. The staff is very helpful and friendly, always willing to go above and beyond to make sure that your stay is as enjoyable as possible. Whether you need recommendations for things to do in the area, help with your luggage, or just a friendly chat, they are always happy to oblige. Overall, I would highly recommend Maison Candia Luxury House to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay in the city. With its excellent location, delicious breakfast, clean rooms, and helpful staff, it's truly a gem!

Everything, I would highly recommend. Room and bathroom very clean, you have all that you need, confortable bed. Joseph (if I remember well the name) was very nice and helpful. He came to help us with airport transfer even if it was early in the morning when we left. Good location, you don’t need to take metro or taxi if you want to visit the main attractions. But even so, there is a metro station near.

The true hospitality of Joseph, the feeling that we were at home. Amazing! The room was clean, good amenities, confortable and warming. The breakfast was great! Location is excellent, 200 metres from Vaticano Museum. Was my birthday and I had a surprise done by Joseph (the host) that was very kind and made my day remarkabke. Thank you very much Joseph for everything. We highly reccommend this accommodation. Excellent!

Location is great - a lot of shops, restaurants near the hotel, also bus stops and metro. Room was cleaned every day and host was very kind and helpful. Tasty coffee and pastries in the main dining room. Bathroom had a jacuzzi. All in all - great place to stay in Rome.

Only drawback - poor sound isolation. At one point we could hear everything our neighbours from another room were doing - showering, talking, watching tv. Therefore it was hard to sleep.
