Truly outstanding...The Althea Inn is not only our favorite of many places we have stayed in Rome, it's the best value.

Althea Inn is a special find in Rome. The surprisingly spacious flower-festooned balcony is a treat, but the rest of the facilities are excellent too...

Arriving back from a day's sightseeing it felt like a home away from home.

Our room was immaculate and peaceful, with the terrace being a perfect place for a late night glass of prosecco under the stars.
