Il BorGhetto Guest House

We stayed at this great Airb&b the night prior to our cruise boat. The location is ideal for tourists wanting the full Italian experience. It is located in the middle of a cobblestone courtyard of cafes, restaurants, and boutiques. The owners contacted us a few days prior to confirm everything and were there when we arrived. We had a quiet 4th floor room with a modern clean ensuite bathroom and a patio. The owners had a lovely breakfast prepared for us and waiting in the kitchen/common room. We walked to the cruise ship nearby and stopped by the beach also in the same area. Would definitely recommend this Airb&b to anyone.

We stayed here with another couple so we had a bedroom each and shared the kitchen, lounge area. The apartment was very clean and equipped with everything we needed, ample food left for breakfast. In the morning we just walked with our suitcases down to the cruise port, so easy.

Our hosts kindly arranged our collection from Rome to Civitavecchia which ran very smoothly. They also kindly gave us advice on where we could obtain our necessary COVID tests which was above and beyond and most helpful. The accommodation is a self contained 3rd floor (small lift available)apartment with two bedrooms. The bedrooms are modern, clean and spacious. Personal decorations and attention to detail give it a homely feel. Coffee , tea, toast, cereals, biscuits, pastries, ham, cheese, yoghurt and eggs are your self service breakfast, with the drinks available anytime. Daniela and Gianni could not have been more accommodating, assisting with early check in and late check out to suit us. Daniela speaks and writes excellent English and will do all that she can to assist you in your stay. The apartment overlooks a bustling square and is set back just a few meters from the main road. For cruisers the entrance to the port is 2 minutes walk away and usually about 15-20 minutes walk to your ship. €10 per person gets you a taxi to your next adventure.

Daniela and Gianni are great hosts. Coming off a ship they were very accommodating meeting us at the property to do an early bag drop for our 2 night stay. Location is close to perfect for any cruisers looking for a night or two before or after a cruise being walkable from the fort entrance(200m) to the port and to the train station(500m). Close to restaurants, bars(some just outside), with the rest of the town walkable as is the sea front promenade. we had Sunday lunch at Sapori di Puglia a street away , very good Locanda Magnifico just outside the property was recommended but closed the Monday we were there(I think to decorate for Xmas) The property is as described, a spacious apartment with living space, 2 bedrooms up a flight of stairs. Fresh, clean, modern with a homely feel what more could you ask for. Access is by lift after a few steps from the main entrance Everything you need is to hand for a pleasant stay, good breakfast items pod coffee machine etc. Having the living/breakfast space is great if you want to relax and not be stuck in a bedroom. We were lucky to have the apartment to ourselves, we used the room with the small terrace which was quiet, nice to have a door to fresh air but there is a vent for the Pizza place on the ground floor and that can drift onto the terrace if the wind is wrong. For those that have done Rome and don't want the pre post cruise rush to the airport adding a night or two here is perfect. if traveling with friends consider booking both rooms to have a private apartment for your stay. There are quite a lot of accommodation options in Civitavecchia grab this place if you can. Don't be put off by streetview Aug 2018, the area has transformed with the restaurants and coffee places as seen in more recent photos.
