Bed and Breakfast Fiocca - Rome

Beautiful place to stay. Andrea is a lovely guy who is really easy to get along with and is a great host. The location is nice and quite, away from the busy touristy areas, closer to real rome, but also very easy to get to all the attraction by foot or metro from Le Panto station. Highly recommend this place to stay.

I stayed well at B&B Fiocca. It is extremely quiet and Maurizio makes you breakfast in the morning :) My room was ok, certainly not ample but big enough. There's an armchair, a table and a little tv. One thing I wasn't too happy about, the rooms were not heated, probably because it wasn't allowed in Rome yet (I guess they start in november), but in my opinion it was needed. That's the problem with central heating... Also, there's no sign at the building exterior, so check very carefully where it is beforehand. Aside from these two minor things I cannot but recommend this place to anyone seeking a cheap accomodation in north Rome (it's not far from the metro anyway) which is surely much less crowded than the centre and south. The owner is very kind and gives you every information you might need.

This was my first time at Fiocca. Great, cozy, quiet, clean place, perfect for a quiet and resting sleep. The bathroom is very clean and nice smelling. This place is very much as if a Roman who was an apartment rents you a room for a couple of days. Nice, clean, cozy. Fiocca has an excellent Trattoria (Ulysse) on half a block away with excellent food and good prices. You can get to Piazza del Popolo, Vatican City and other landmarks taking 1 bus a block away. Besides you a metro 2 blocks away. Great! Bathroom was shared with other 3 rooms, but almost always found it availiable.

I wanted a place that was near to the centre of Rome without being in the main thrust of the city; I got that and more. The room was clean and comfortable, and I greatly appreciated the quietness provided by the positioning of the room over the central garden. The welcome and service provided by Andrea was exceptional; he is a very helpful person. The area the B&B is situated is very nice, and is ideally situated for any itinerary you may have. I enjoy walking everywhere I need to go, but there were also numerous travel opportunities available locally, including the metro, trams and buses.

The room is great for the price. The area is quite and nice.

Everything was perfect. Andrea, the owner, was very friendly and helpfull. Breakfast was much better than expected. Only minor issue: The only toilet is in the bathroom. So if someone is taking a shower, you have to wait a while.

The B&B is a nice place and confortable, very quiet and secure. It´s near to the Vatican. Andrea is a very good person. The breakfast was simple but good. The room looked clean but it was not cleaned every day.

I found the B&B Fiocca to be an excellent choice! The host was fantastic; personable, caring, knowledgeable, and helpful. The location was perfect. The site was charming and secure. I was pleased with the room cost. For first time users of the subway written directions, as well as the map, would be helpful. My overall stay was super. I'd stay there again, and I've already recommended B&B Fiocca to friends!

This is a modestly priced B&B with very good location (within walking distance of the Vatican museums) in a quiet, pleasant residential area. For a budget stay, the Focca represents excellent value and I would have no hesitation in recommending it. Andrea, the manager, is welcoming and efficient.

Great place, nice and personal. It´s a wonder to find such a quiet place near the very centre of Rome! And Andrea is a very nice man. So, what more can you wish?

All perfect.

The place and the attention are really conforables, andrea the owner of the B&B is really nice and helped mi a lot to know what to visit, this is an excellent choise to people who wants to know roma and stay in a cheap place, really near to the vatican, also a metro station is near. NeO

Great place to stay. Bear in imnd this is like staying in someones house - so if you like that (I did) then you'll be fine. This is not a big fancy hotel, but in my opinion, it's much nicer.

I stayed at Fiocca a week in early March. It was pleasant base to my exploring of Rome. When I arrived owner, Andrea, was already waiting for me. Fiocca is basically a flat in a residential block and it is perhpas a bit confusing to find that house for first time. But all in all it is nice place, well situated in quiet area close tu buses and metro - to Vatican or Piazza del Popolo it is just one metro station or bit of walk away.

I had a wonderful stay at Fiocca. Andrea is a great host, and the location was great. I would definitely recommend Fiocca!

The B&B is located in a multi-tenant apartment type bldg and it was a little hard to find as there is no signage on the outside other than a panel of doorbells with a label. It resides on the second floor at the back of the property and there are two locked gates to go through. Shared bath was clean. Left to early to see what the brkfst was like. Manager/Owner was very cordial and helpful.

I was a single traveller visiting Rome for the first time. The B&B was very close to a lot of sites & I generally walked everywhere, including the sites further away. It is also very close to the Metro station for anyone preferring not to walk. Breakfast was simple but that was fine for me. Andrea the host was very friendly, welcoming & spoke good English. I plan to return to Rome soon & will hope to use B&B Fiocca again.

Relatively cheap accom for Rome. Within easy walking distance of all main attractions and in very quiet but safe part of Rome. Felt very safe walking streets at that time of night. No Noise at night so get an excellent night sleep. Fantastic value for budget travellers. Map on Internet site could probably be a bit more detailed to make place easier to find. But host came an escorted us back to B&B. Very nice guy.

Realy nice place to stay, peaceful surroundings, excellent trattoria nearby and nice, helpful host :)

Ottima sistemazione qualità prezzo

I had one night on my own in Rome before meeting up with friends. This was the perfect place to stay - very reasonably priced, in a lovely neighborhood, a gracious host. As other reviewers said, you have to know what you're getting into - a small single room with a shared bath in the hall - but for me it was perfect. Thanks!

Nice host, little room, overall good value.

Great stay! Outstanding host! I would stay again!!!

Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo. Ottimo ristorante dall'altro lato della strada.

This is a great B&B. Within minutes of the metro (Lepanto), you can get to anywhere around Rome very quickly. Theres also a post office nearby to send back those postcards and also some nice eateries. I didn’t get the impression there were lots of tourists staying in this area which counts as a definite bonus. It was a real community place with a market just around the corner everyday. It was lovely to walk around at night (ice cream bars to collapse into after a hard days touristing ) and a supermarket handily placed about 5 minutes away for those daily essentials. To say more about the B&B itself, we had full use of two bedrooms and the bathroom, all immaculately decorated and kept. Great coffee served every morning to kick off the day along with other assorted goodies. It was very quiet and comfortable. There’s also beautiful private courtyard as part of the apartment complex. The host (Andrea) was very warm and helpful giving us tips on the best places to eat and the best times and days to see things in order to avoid the queues. Would definitely use this B&B again.

Great location, wonderful attentive staff. Asked for a double, expecting something like the pictures displayed. Only a 'triple' was available which, while very clean and neat, was not nearly as spacious as it might have been. Overall, it was a great experience and I'd stay there again.

Single traveller or young couple

It was quite nice.

Although we were treated very well and given assistance by the host Andrea when our bags were lost at the airport, I don't think we would stay here again. The location was very difficult to find given the information we recieved from the B&B and while the rooms were clean, they were a bit spartan (especially the twin room) and the breakfast was quite poor. Also other B&Bs' we stayed in while in Italy gave far better services (breakfast/ common areas) for the same price.

Andrea met me outside for my arrival which wasnt planned. Very nice beginning to a great stay. The B&B was quite small but very clean. When I needed help or had questions Andrea was close by to help out. There was no curfew which was nice you could come and go when you wanted. It was close to transit or just walk to your sites. Always had some hot coffee for me in the morning and asked about my day very nice person. This was a great place to stay and look forward to going back. Andrea save me a room. Thanks Again Doug Vancouver BC Canada May 25-30 2007

Rooms are nice and the shared bathroom is cleaned and nice as well. Andrea, the owner, is very kind. The B&B is very close to subway and buses so that it's easy to reach the center of the City. Have a nice holiday, Andrea. See you next time.

This was my first time in Rome, single traveller with only one vacation week before two weeks of work in Europe. I was flying during 14 hours and my first impression was a friendly welcome from Andrea. The place is quiet at nights, however there are some places (bars and restaurants) open till midnight in summer, that help single travellers. Andrea was very helpfull for giving tourist directions.

I stayed in"Fiocca" 3 nights and must say it was wonderful. Andrea was very nice. The room was nice and quiet. The location is fine. It's easy to access the most interesting places of Rome. It was my first visit to Rome and if I vist again I will definitely stay in "Fiocca".

This property lived up to the previous reviwers comments. Andrea was very polite and welcoming, and even cooked a fresh Torte for Breakfast. The location and price were perfect for my quick visit to Rome and the Vatican

I enjoyed my stay very much. The shared bathroom was deluxe and spotless. The courtyard was beautiful. The bed was great. A very light breakfast was served nice and early for me. Andrea's english was almost perfect.

Andrea è un ottimo ospite, gentile, carino e pronto ad aiutarti in ogni occasione. Buona colazione, ottima posizione. Purtoppo il bagno è in comune, ma molto pulito e abbastanza grande. Da consigliare.

I used the room just for a coulpe of nights, i felt confortable and pleasant. Rooms are very quite and relaxing! The ownrs, Andrea, is a very kind person always gentle and helpful. I strictly recommend!

I am entirely satisfied by the service. The user comments related to it are realistic and present it well. The location and the link to transport are excellent. It might be helpfull to add a few pictures to this information.

This B&B is beautiful, quite neighbourhood, clean and very close to the metro and the Vatican area. Very easy to find and the price was awesome for what we got. The disadvantage is the shared bathroom.

I felt welcome! Liked the quiet neighbourhood after running all day in the noise of the traffic in the centre of rome. The room was okay. All together: a very nice place to stay.

Warm welcome, excellent quiet nice non-touristic, area very close to the metro , clean rooms/bath, perfect for couples or singles to explore the city and take relaxed refuge in one of the very good quiet and nice areas in Rome centre Very good to recommend

Une très bonne adresse à Rome, ce B&B a répondu à mes exigences de jeune voyageuse seule. Très bien situé, le quartier est calme, sûr et huppé. Les chambres donnent sur une cour maginifique qui protège des bruits de la ville. La déco n'est pas formidable, c'est le seul point négatif. Je n'ai pas eu besoin de prendre le metro, on est au vatican ou dans le centre historique en 15-20 min. à pied (en traversant un quartier commerçant) et on peut rentrer à n'importe quelle heure sans crainte. La vie nocturne dans le quartier n'est pas très festive mais il y a de bons restos. Andréa le propriétaire est adorable, très serviable, il partage ses bons plans et parle très bien anglais, et il fait des gateaux !!! Bon voyage !

Host Andrea was nice and helpful, and the room was clean. The neighborhood was residential and quiet. The breakfast was poor, no protein and no fresh bread (worst of our two-week stay in Italy). Sharing bathroom with 2 additional guests (2 single rooms and one double room in the bed and breakfast) wasn't the most convenient.

Andrea was very helpful & welcoming, one of my nicest hosts during my trip! Definitely good value and walking distance to entire city.

Dear Traveller, this B&B is part of the appartment of the owners, but that doesn't matter at all. In the contrary, the host Andrea is very charmful and helps with everything you need. Also, he's got a few inetresting tales to tell, not to mention advice for foreign travellers. The house is situated in a very quiet area of Rome - there aren't many - with a beautiful garden. Public transport is not 5 min walk away, or you can even use your feet to come to a number of places. Considering price vs. quality this is hard to beat!! Next time I'll be in Rome this is my place to go.

Ein superschöner 4-Tage-Urlaub in Rom. Andrea ist eni wirklich netter Gastgeber. Immer ein paar gute Tipps auf Lager. Wir werden wiederkommen. :)

Andrea very helpful however the only problem was the sharing of the bathroom, The map is\ not very helpful as it is in accurate and unfortunately rome maps differ with street information.We had to ask passers by where it was. Having said that its a nice stop over if you are only using it to sleep, no drink facilities or tv. The owner is very helpful. it is not a bed a breakfast as we know it, you are in a room within the owners house.

The rooms are in in very nice quite area. It is easy to reach the famos place. The house have a beatyfull garden in the courtyard and you can see it from the rooms. Andrea is very friendly an helpfull. It is a very good stay for a single travelling woman.

Molto bella la zona, tranquilla, molto pulita la camera e il bagno. Sicuramente un posto dove tornare...

The owner is a very kind joung.The room was clean and quiet.The breakfast is normal.

B & B is in a quiet neighborhood, walking distance from St. Peters Square and the Rome Met.Ro as well as many bus lines. Shopping is close by and the neighborhood seems to be filled more with locals than tourists. Andrea is a most gracious host and will warmly welcome you into the apartment complex. You will need to phone him when you are close or ring the bell marked "Fiocca" to gain access. The gate to the complex is located just before an outdoor cafe near the corner. It may not be the Ritz but this is an excellent B & B for the price.

About 5 minutes walk to Vatican and Lepanto metro. There's a grocery store on the next street and a bank machine nearby.

EL PROPIETARIO ANDREA ES UNA PERSONA AGRADABLE Y ATENTA, LOCACIÓN SEGURA, IDEAL PARA ESTANCIAS CORTAS,CERCANIA AL METRO Y BUS,EL LOCAL ESTA UBICADO EN UN SITIO RESIDENCIAL TRANQUILO, RESTAURANTES Y CAFETERIAS EN LAS INMEDIACIONES CON EXCELENTE SERVICIO Y CALIDAD EN LAS COMIDAS

Very nice place to stay. Polite service and very very nice and secured surrending...

Excellent find for the money! Would stay there again, although the bathroom may cause problems if traveling as a family. Only one bathroom is available for everyone staying in the B&B.

Il B & B Fiocca è ubicato nell'elegante quartiere di Prati. Avrete, quindi, l'opportunità di soggiornare in una elegante residenza ad un prezzo contenuto. Il responsabile della struttura, Andrea, saprà soddisfare ogni vostra richiesta con il garbo, la gentilezza e la premura che dovrebbero essere tipiche di qualsiasi struttura dedita all'accoglienza della gente. Anche il requisito della pulizia sarà soddisfatto: nonostante il bagno sia in comune, lo troverete sempre impeccabilmente pulito.

I stayed there for 2 days. it is traditional building, square structure, plants and flowers in the middle. quite convinence and quiet. the bathroom is tidy and towels provided. the owner Andrea specks good english and very pleasant. i'm happy with everything and i like to recomment this place to others tourists.

Excellent B&B, very friendly host. +The surrounding is also very good, the rooms look at an inner place with a garden and fountain where you hear almost nothing of the street noise ; at night you hear nothing of the street since they close the entry from the street to the inside. The restaurant at the furthest opposite corner is a good tip, much visited by young Romans (the price, the food a nd the quantity is really good). I almost forgot: the rooms do not have airco, but they get very little direct sunlight and they keep a nice moderate temperature. In Rome, that's important, since it got up to 38 °C when i was there!

Friendly first meeting. Andrea is a nice man (not woman,as we thought). The inner space of the whole building is clean and quiete. The meal we had in the nearest restaurant beside the post-office was best!

This bed & breakfast is clean and homey, not fancy, but very comfortably furnished, in a quiet residential area but only a few blocks from mass transit, near a nice shopping area (Via Cola di Rienzo), walking distance to some major attractions, and reasonably priced. Breakfast is average for Rome. What makes this place stand out is the host, who is warmly welcoming, helpful, informative, and generally terrific. I had the good luck to stay here my first two nights in Rome & it was a lovely experience. Highly recommended.

It was a great place to stay, as it was a nice one, a pleasent and very quiet. Andrea my host was really great always welcome you with a smile and help me as much as he can with maps and try to help me to reach to every place in Rome, I would recommend for his place whenever I can,hope to see him soon.

Mi sono trovato bene al fiocca, andrea è un ragazzo gentile e disponibile. comoda anche la locazione, vicina alla fermata sia degli autobus che dalla metro.

The location of Fiocca was lovely... out of the center (so it was quiet), but still within walking distance of most of the major sights of Rome. The room was clean and had a nice view over the courtyard. Andrea was very friendly, helpful, and accomodating.

Andrea, il proprietario del fiocca è un ragazzo gentilissimo, e l'accoglienza è eccezzionale. il posto è molto tranquillo, con un giardino nell'atrio da fare meraviglia. anche la zona è assai tranquillq, e ben servita da tutti i mezzi, 5 minuti scarsi dalla fermata metro lepanto.

We had a long day traveling from central USA. Andrea (our hero) was outside to greet us after dark, around 8:30 PM, when we were exhausted and wondering if lost. Excellent, inexpensive restaurant just across the street. Photos may not reflect very nice, gated court yard. Felt very secure. Good location & access outside of the congestion of central city. Good variety for continental breakfast. One adjacent street (not visible from room) had some litter and evidence of pets.

We had a very nice stay at Fiocca. It was quite OK for the price. Andrea was very helpful. We wpould like to come back to Fiocca again.

Wir verbrachten drei wunderschöne Tage in Rom. Der Vermieter, Andrea, kam uns mit dem check.in in Bezug auf die frühe Landung unseres Fliegers sehr entgegen. Da wir erst am späten Abend wieder aufbrachen, bot er uns an, das Gepäck solange bei ihm zu lassen. Überhaupt war er sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Außerdem konnte er uns einige gute Tipps geben, z.b. wie man möglichst wenig Wartezeiten vor den Vatikanischen Museen hat. Das Zimmer liegt in seiner Wohnung, ist geräumig und sehr italienisch eingerichtet. Das Bett ist mit einem Lattenrost ausgestattet, was jeder zu schätzen weiß, der sich schon einmal in italienischen Betten den Rücken krumm gelegen hat. Das Bad befindet sich auf dem Flur. Da Andrea nur drei Zimmer vermietet, war es aber kein Problem. Das B&B befindet sich in einer Wohnanlage, die um einen ruhigen Innenhof herum gebaut ist. Die Zimmer liegen zum Hof und sind für römische Verhältnisse sehr leise. Andrea machte uns ein gutes italienisches Frühstück mit starkem Kaffee, Brioche, Kuchen, Marmelade usw. Wer den Weg zu Fiocca zum ersten Mal geht, sollte darauf achten, dass die Piazza dei Martiri in keinem normalen Stadtplan eingezeichnet ist. Am besten geht man von der Metrostation Lepanto bis zur Viale delle Milizie, folgt dieser in Richtung Tiber und biegt auf der Piazza Cique Giornate auf die Via Luigi Settembrini. Diese öffnet sich bei der nächsten Kreuzung zu einem kleinen Platz, der nicht auf den Plänen eingetragen ist. Das ist die Piazza dei Martiri di Belfiore. Man gelangt übrigens von Fiocca zu Fuß in 10 Minuten zur Piazza del Popolo und in 15 - 20 Minuten zum Vatikan.

At this B&B you are living together in a spacious old appartment with other guests and the owner, so you are sharing the facilities! If this doesn't bother you, this location can be recommended for a short (3-4 days) trip to Rome. Andrea, the owner, is very nice and helpful. The location is fine, we walked everywhere, but about 5 minutes walk away there is a metro station (Lepanto). The Vatican is about 15 min walk away. The area is very safe and quiet, just around a corner is a nice street market every day except Sunday.

The owner is very welcoming and helpful. This places comes highly recommended...although maybe I shouldn't say that since there are only a few rooms and it might mean I won't get one when I'm back in Rome!

The accomodation was great - just one point you are living in the Guest House (apartment) with any other guests and the owner, so you are sharing the facilities! This didn't bother us, as your out exploring Rome all the time anyway. Andrea, the owner, is very nice and helpful. The location is fine, we walked everywhere, but about 5 minutes (or less) walk away there is a metro (Le Panto) which only costs 1euro - for that you can travel to any other metro stop in the city!

A very welcoming host!

As a single person travelling in rome for a couple of days this B&B was absolutely Ideal. Andrea, the owner, was very welcoming and extreemly helpfull. he lives up to all the previous reviews I had read on this site prior to booking.And no he doesn't write them himself. The location is 5 minutes walk from the Metro and 15-20 minutes walk from Vatican City.There is an Ice cream parlour on the corner (just outside)a great resturaunt(not expensive) next to that and a lovely little market just past this and a coffe bar down the road. Oh, and a great Guiness bar within 10 minutes.The garden is great too.Excellent Value.

Andrea is a wonderful, welcoming host. Our room was clean and relatively spacious. We had a small balcony overlooking a courtyard. Breakfast was some tasty breads with coffee and juice. Fiocca was our favorite place because of its charm, quiet neighborhood, excellent restaurant on the corner, and convenient location.

The whole thing was excellent, Andreas , the host was most welcoming and friendly and willing to help out ...however if I had anything to suggest it would be the continental breakfast , the croissants could have have been fresher or if we would have had microwave access , we would have warmed it up...it would have been nice to have a few fruits as well....but you are asking me to be picky here ....overall I would go back...clean , friendly and close to everything !

Warm and friendly. Will use again. As described on website, near to buses and Metro.

The location of the hostal is very fine for expolring Rome. The surrounding arrea with some nice cafees and bars is not that much touristic but the inner city is only a 10 minutes walk away! The style of the hostal is almost that of a shared flat. We liked it and it was funny to meet the others in the kitchen, especcially 'caus they were true italians. Only the glass in the room doors should be covered with some sort of curtain.

I had a very good experience at Fiocca. Andrea, the owner, was very friendly. He was waiting for me when I got there. He even prepared breakfast for me in the morning! The rooms are facing the inside gardens of this beautiful building. I have only one suggestion for this place. Perhaps the owner should cover the doors with some courtains, since right now they only have frosted glass, and it is not very private, especially in the bathroom. My other suggestion is for whomever decides to take the metro. Get of at Lepanto, climb up the stairs to the Lepanto avenue, and then turn right a couple of blocks, and then right again. I did the opposite and got very lost. Good luck, and make sure you stay more than just one night. There are way too many things too see in Rome!

The B&B is very well located (I have visited almost all the city by feet !) The manager of the B&B is very cool and finaly I had a very nice week in Rome ! Ciao ciao !

My partner and I were very impressed by the welcoming of the staff. They were very friendly and gave us lots of useful information about the surroundings. If we go back to Rome,we're probably going to stay there again.

Nice rooms with good service. It´s near the metro-station lepanto, 15min to go to S.Pietro. We´ve had a nice week in Rome and wish to come back

No privacy
