This property is a gem - everywhere you look the decor is beautiful and so tasteful - the hosts were so congenial and waited for us to arrive when our flight was late - even to organizing a driver to meet us at the airport- he then proceeded to give us a beautiful room. The breakfast was bar none - the best breakfast in our 5 city stops - we were served from a personal trolley of delicious food and the best cappuccino in 10 days.

We had a lot of luggage and there is no elevator and thankfully we did not need the large pieces as we stayed one night.

Very helpful owners - excellent communication before our arrival. Although the building is on a main road, it's not heavily used at night and we had no difficulty sleeping. Easy parking on the adjacent side street. Exceptionally generous breakfast on the lovely first-floor terrace. Pleasant location with the Lungomare (promenade) only 100m down the side street. Hosts recommended 3 local restaurants, all within 10 minutes walk. It was a Monday evening and only one of them (Il Trabucco) was open - but it was very good indeed, an excellent recommendation. Room had quiet effective aircon. Really nice towels, bedding and toiletries provided.

All rooms are 1st or 2nd floor and there is no lift, so be prepared for steps (but it's an easy wide staircase). Our room was fairly cramped, OK for our 1-night stay but would have been difficult for any longer. Please note, though, that the owners offered us a larger room at the same price - but it was 2nd floor so we chose the smaller 1st-floor room because one of us has some mobility difficulty.

As soon as we arrived, the owner met us, told us where we could go to eat, about Wi-Fi and took us to our room. The house looks amazing, everything is very exquisite. The breakfasts were gorgeous, everything was fresh and varied. And of course the service, each client is treated with special attention and this is very nice. The sea is very close, but do not forget special slippers for swimming, as the bottom is rocky and it is very easy to get hurt.

Gorgeous house with fun and quirky interior design and fabulous attention to details. Massimilliano is a warm and caring host. Make sure to get the Asian room with a private balcony between the pine trees. On top of that a breakfast served with love and all sorts of foods to meet every need.

Location is a slight bit off the city center and old town. Although close to the water.

The hotel is small, very quirky, lovely decor that fits with its art deco architecture. The rooms are very comfortable and the host Massimiliano was super helpful and welcoming. The breakfast trolleys are lovely and full of delicious foods.

If traffic noise and dog barking is a problem for you then beat that in mind. Some of the other rooms maybe less noisy - I requested the room with the balcony but didn’t realise the road alongside the hotel would be so noisy.

Excellent location just minutes from the ocean and easy to drive to with parking outside. Maximillian was a wonderful host and provided an excellent breakfast. The property is very nice and "quirky" with a beautiful garden with small pool and balcony for breakfast. The room was small but fine for an overnight stay. Would recommend for sure.

We felt so welcomed and taken care of during our stay. The host is the kindest person you’ll ever meet. He made breakfast to us every morning at their beautiful balcony. He offered to let us borrow bike’s and sunbeds for the beach. He gave us tips on what we should see and explore during our stay. We had a day trip to Rome and loved coming back to relaxing Santa Marinella after a crowded day in Rome.

Just be aware that there’s limited taxi’s in Santa Marinella. We walked a lot, but became used to it after a short amount of time. Also, beware that many of the restaurants is closed 14:30-19:30 (aproximatly). Be also aware that you must pay a 4€ per night fee at check out, so have some extra euros in your wallet for the check out!

The owner willingly picked us up at the train station. Breakfast was served on the terrace. Each day a trolley was prepared with a large breakfast and toast for a snack, which the owner packed on request. Chilled water was available all day, which we appreciated on hot days.

Absolutely unique experience, something you won’t get in big hotels! Feels like home, extremely welcoming owner, clean and cozy rooms, breakfast served specially for you on a beautiful terrace! Massimiliano kindly welcomed us at a rather late hour, we were on a route whole day and the road took more than expected. Rating of this place says for itself, absolutely true:) And it’s also 3 minutes of walking to the beach.
