Positive Reviews
positive:
Pool a major boon in summer
Many guests who travelled in the summer speak of the sheer relief of being able to return from a long day sightseeing, have a shower and the take a dip in the pool to cool down a bit. The setting, in lovely well-tended gardens, is also praised.
positive:
Good food at reasonable prices
Many guests were travelling on something of a budget, but still didn't feel like self catering for every meal. They seemed very happy with the quality of the food at L'Ottavo Colle Restaurant, with most commenting that they considered it excellent value as well.
positive:
Information centre very helpful
Again and again guests mention that the information they received from the information centre was incredibly helpful, and often prevented them from getting lost, or into trouble.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Possibly dangerous route to train station
This was perhaps the most often expressed negative opinion. The route from Flaminio to the nearby train station was considered dangerous at any time because of a busy road that needs to be crossed, seemingly without any pedestrian crossing. But aside from this, quite a few guests describe the area through which they walked as less than inviting, and were very uncomfortable walking there at night.
negative:
Bungalows cold in winter
There seemed to be a great many complaints from winter travellers claiming that the bungalows were not sufficiently heated. It is unclear whether they were merely unlucky, and experienced unusually low temperatures during their stay, or that there is a deeper problem.
negative:
Reception might be a far walk
Although this wasn't a major complaint, a couple of guests pointed out that it can be quite a trek to reception from the furthest bungalows. While there is an internal transfer, guests may have to wait a while for the next one to come around.
