Sweet boutique hotel in a renovated early 20th century villa on the Aventine hill, an upscale residential area. I would stay here again without hesitation. The whole property is nicely decorated and well maintained. Everything clean and in working order. Many or all of the rooms are uniquely decorated so that no two are alike. My room had a small terrace and lots of sunlight during the day. Other rooms may be different. The hotel and neighborhood are quiet all day and night. Excellent reception, breakfast room, and housekeeping staff. Everyone I encountered was friendly and efficient. The San Anselmo is part of a three-property hotel group along with the San Pio (around the corner) and the Aventino (down the street). Each hotel has its own breakfast room and, I believe, bar, but the restaurant (called The Hill) is in the San Pio. The Hill is good-traditional Roman dishes with a twist served in a relaxed atmosphere with excellent service. The Aventine hill starts out at a moderate incline but gets steep toward the top, which is where the hotel is located. I stayed on the Aventine hill in order to be away from the crowds and noise that surround most of Rome’s major and minor attractions—but within an inexpensive taxi or easy walk to them. A taxi to the Vatican cost 11 euros. A walk back from the Pantheon took 30 minutes but it’s Rome so it’s a lovely walk! Tip: Mercato di Testaccio, down the Aventine hill in the Testaccio area, is the local covered but open air fruit, vegetable, meat, and bakery market and food hall.
