Abate Giuseppe In Roma

28/07/2024: 4 stars of encouragement but much, much still needs improvement (hotel). 26/29 July 2024. Let's go in order... Suggested by an acquaintance, I wanted to visit this property for a long weekend. Coming from Rome I suggest taking the motorway towards Naples and exiting at San Cesareo and following the signs for Rocca Priora. As a preventive measure, I had got in touch on WhatsApp with the owner Fiorello who proved to be very helpful. As soon as we arrived we parked inside the structure (I was on a motorbike) and met the owner, Dana and Cipran and they immediately gave us the keys to the room (n. 2) Cipran brought us the backpacks. And here unfortunately the painful notes... Hair in the tub and in the sink, the result of a summary cleaning done at the last moment, room without: shutters, bedside tables, chairs without air conditioner and not even a fan. Even without even 1 roll of toilet paper available. On the other hand, there was a television on the wall where we witnessed the lighting of the Olympic torch. Another extremely negative note was the very low water pressure which made taking a shower a way of the cross. Bathtub without non-slip mat (we used a towel). Total absence of electrical sockets on the bed side (very good mattress). Being a very smart guy, I had equipped myself with a current extension and I solved the problem. I must acknowledge the great availability of Fiorello who provided me with chairs, toilet paper and bought a fan. Luckily the location is free from mosquitoes and we were able to sleep with the window open and the fan on, obviously waking up at dawn in the absence of shutters. Ergo on the hotel side there is a lot to improve. The structure through the restaurant service is open for lunch and dinner but the hotel does not provide breakfast although a coffee machine and various drinks are available. The food is good family style and just enough portions (fixed menu of the day for those staying in the hotel where from what I understand it currently only has 3 rooms used for this service ed.) We enjoyed 2 dinners and one lunch. Limited to Wi-Fi there are 2. One in the common areas on the ground floor and 2 on the upper floor. hotel but only one of which is actually functioning. Access for disabled people with vehicles is not possible for the hotel and quite easy for the restaurant. Very clean bathrooms but I didn't see or ask if they were equipped for disabled people. Conclusion: at the current state of the hotel situation only if you adapt (and a lot) and interesting restaurant service. Go back? I think so since the place is very quiet anyway, 40 km away. from Rome feeling you, if you create the right family feeling and spectacular quality/price ratio.
