Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 10 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Guests score it 9.2 out of 10 — the average across the 19 hotels we list in Rome is 9.2.
What Guests Loved
- Perched in Montemario, the hotel's elevated position affords panoramic vistas of Rome's skyline and St. Peter's Basilica, a rare outlook for a property of this scale in the capital.
- Guests can choose between three separate pools set amid the gardens, offering more space and variety than the single-pool norm at most city hotels.
Things to Consider
- Montemario sits outside the compact historic core, so reaching sites like the Colosseum or Trevi Fountain on foot isn't practical.
- Independent exploration requires planning around shuttle schedules or taxi rides, adding time and cost compared to staying within walking distance of attractions.
