This is actually quite a difficult hotel to rate, simply because it is so very unusual. The first impression is that the entire building has been left stuck in a time warp, somewhere between 1940 and 1960, and that nothing has been done to it for the past 70 years or so. But first impressions can be misleading, and this one, I think, was. It obviously has been a very grand hotel in its day, and still retains many quite grand features. It has also had quite a lot done to it as time passed, since basically its rooms and their amenities are actually well up to modern standards, although they may not look as if they are. That is what the visitor needs to get over. It is difficult to take a place seriously that looks, everywhere, so very, very art deco. But actually, this is a very good hotel. It is quiet, comfortable and central, and has just about everything you would want (unless you’re an anglophone, that is, but more of that later). Using our usual rating system it comes out very highly on almost everything. Location Perfect, if Tivoli Terme is what you’re after. The shops, bars, station, and Spa Treatment centre are all within a few minutes’ walk. Having said that, there really isn’t anything much at Tivoli Terme these days. Its heyday as a spa resort seems to be well over. We settled on this hotel as a centre to visit Tivoli itself, and its gardens and Roman remains etc., but the location for that turned out to be less than perfect. Tivoli is much further away than you think, and you are reliant on buses or trains or expensive taxis to get there. Again, more of that later. Reception Very friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Speak perfect English and don’t pretend not to understand my, admittedly, less than perfect Italian. Accommodation Our suite was possibly the largest we have ever stayed in, far bigger than the flat we lived in when we were first married. It was a little daunting at first, in that all the furniture was in the same art deco style and looked a little worse for wear. It had obviously been of the highest quality when new, but was showing signs of its age. In practice, however, it was surprisingly comfortable, the room was extremely quiet, and we had no problems. Not with the furniture, that is. There were two drawbacks, however. First was the TV, which was absolutely enormous, but did not have a single channel in English on it, not even BBC World or CNN. Bring your laptop with a VPN and Iplayer/ITVX if you want to watch any English programmes. The wifi is free and worked perfectly while we were there. More serious was the complete absence of any tea or coffee making facilities in the room, and the refusal of reception to supply any on health and safety grounds. Having said that, they do a very acceptable pot of tea in the bar, at a very reasonable price, but you don’t always want to be bothered, do you? Breakfast Well up to standard, with the usual vast Italian array of cakes, a good choice of cereals (including mue

Mit einer Busreise hier gewesen. Das Hotel liegt an der stark befahrenen Straße nach Rom und in den Zimmern ist es recht laut. Teilweise mussten Zimmer getauscht werden. Zum schönen Ort Tivoli sind es über 5 Km! Die Umgebung selbst ist langweilig. Zimmer waren okay, einzelne Sauberkeitsthemen, aber keine Probleme. Räume sind recht alt und entsprechend eingerichtet. Die Bäder sind klein und die Duschen sind sehr eng. Personal war freundlich. Wir würden es allein aufgrund der Lage und den Duschen nicht mehr wählen.

Our stay at La Tenuta di Rocca Bruna was unexpectedly better than we expected. We wanted a quiet space, in which we could spend time leisurely, but were met with a beautiful, quiet resort full of trees, a beautiful pool and a great room, with staff ready to help with whatever we needed. Our room was spacious and equipped with everything we needed, and just a stone's throw away from the pool, which was the highlight of our stay. We enjoyed our time in the pool, as well as walking around the area, and also the food from the attached restaurant, with is set in beautiful halls. We ended up staying longer than we anticipated, and the resort was happy to accommodate our request. Although not too close to the city centre, we did manage to find taxis to go to Villa D'Este and Hadrian's Villa, to experience the life of Tivoli as well. All in all, it was an amazing experience.

Scelto, tra i tanti, per la presenza della piscina. Al momento della prenotazione, confermavano la disponibilità della piscina. Come richiesto dal personale, si effettuava pagamento anticipato della somma richiesta, per intero, per le due notti. All'arrivo (check in ore 13), veniva comunicato che la piscina era chiusa a causa di valori non conformi (per quanto riferito, valori di cloro alti). La camera assegnata (218) godeva di una meravigliosa vista su una autorimessa/demolizioni auto. Il bagno, evidentemente datato, mostrava i segni dell'usura e della mancanza di pulizia (griglia areazione piena di polvere, box doccia rotto, rivestimento doccia sporco, come da foto che si allegano). A causa del materasso, sicuramente datato e poco adatto alla funzione propria, il giorno successivo il personale disponeva il cambio camera. Con la 217, per quanto inizialmente riferito, sottoposta a ristrutturazione. Di ristrutturato, tuttavia, vi era solo il bagno. Tra l'altro, con le ante del box doccia che non chiudevano bene tanto che durante la doccia l'acqua arrivava al pavimento. Trattandosi di camera matrimoniale, si immaginava la presenza di materasso matrimoniale. Purtroppo si immaginava e basta. Si era costretti a constatare che il letto matrimoniale era composto da due reti singole e due materassi singoli, trasformati in matrimoniale con un topper. Ovviamente, la funzione ”matrimoniale” era impossibile..... Per ”mera curiosità”, si provvedeva a visionare il materasso..... Definirlo datato è poco rispondente alla realtà dei fatti .... Definirlo sporco? Si rimanda al lettore la visione delle foto. Ogni altro commento è superfluo ... P.S. anche per il giorno successivo, biglietto di ”Pool closed” per valori non conformi....

Strategic position on the farmhouse. Spacious and clean room. Basic bathroom. Basic breakfast to be consumed in the exceptional pastry shop below. The absence of the night porter is compensated by the cash desk in the bar and an emergency number, but to avoid problems we have checked in early in the morning. Suggestions: .equipping the TV with decoder, .including at least a third component in the breakfast (usually cappuccino, croissant and coffee), .lacking a soap dish in the shower. I'll be back.

Just a really clean, spacious place with a great view. All the rooms were really comfortable and impeccably clean. Location is so convenient for Villa D’Etse and the centre with all the places to eat and drink. The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff epitomised when the owner volunteered to take one of us into town because they were hard or walking and there were no taxis. A fabulous breakfast and I could recommend this place more highly

The overall idea is very good, the only disadvantage is that it is far from the city. Fortunately, there is a train 300 meters away from the hotel, and you don't need to buy a ticket to take this train
