LH Domus Caesari

Precious place! The bathroom smelled really bad. Be prepared for a 1km walk if you get there by train.

What a grand looking property that in its heyday must’ve been something else. Nice clean big room and an excellent breakfast served in the dining room every morning with lots of choices. Only a kilometre from the local railway station which is on the mainline to Rome. We utilized both different railway systems the Regional and Metro using apps downloaded from the app store called Trainline and Trainit as the local station isn’t manned. You need to purchase your tickets ahead and download them to your iPhone as you can be fined $40 Euros for not having one or even going the wrong direction. I liked you could manage your ticket during the day if you found you wanted to leave earlier or later BUT the last train to the hotel station was 8:21 pm ! Our google maps was frustrating and kept sending us all over the place until we hired a taxi who dropped us right at the Trevi fountain and a short walk also from the Spanish Steps. Worth the taxi fare ( not at all expensive) and Nico was an excellent tour guide. TAKE OR BUY LOTS OF WATER DURING YOUR EXCURSIONS THE HEAT IS SOMETHING ELSE. There was an excellent night receptionist on our arrival but the day girl was unhelpful and short with us as was another male night colleague who when asked if he knew which TV channel was showing the EURO Final he stated “I DONT LIKE SOCCER “ This showed how you can encounter both extremes of the Italian personality. We found an excellent self serve laundromat in Frascetti

This is a beautiful hotel in the middle of the country side, near Rome. If you want to relax and visit the city center, but want to stay at a beautiful place outside the city, then this is your choice. The city is some 30 km away, a very short distance to USA people.
