We checked in at Al Ponte del Papa B&B (book here) during our stay in Rome, Italy. We came from a 5-day tour in Paris and Rome was our next and final stop of our trip. We had such a lovely time in the hotel that this is worth recommending to our readers.
After our Schengen visa was approved, we immediately made sure that our booked hotels and itinerary were complete. After searching for hotel reviews online, Al Ponte was the best option as this place is just within walking distance from the Vatican, plus they have high reviews from other travellers.

Wonderful Hosts: Danilo & Giulia
Al Ponte del Papa is managed by Danilo and Giulia and the couple are very hands-on in making sure that their guests feel very welcomed. It’s not just a regular temporary house to rest, but a warm place to feel at home.
They come to the hotel early in the morning to prepare your meal and tidy your room. They put in the effort to make your stay as comfortable and homey as possible. So it’s not really difficult to understand why they have a high rating on booking.com sites.

Breakfast at Al Ponte del Papa
Another thing to highlight is the breakfast which comes free when you book a night. This is something we looked forward to everyday. Simple every day meals of eggs, bread and ham/sausage/etc. are made interesting with the way they prepare food for us.
You can sense how they really try to make your food extra special. With fruits, croissants, bread, juice, coffee, and so on, breakfast is always lively and full, not to mention colorful. 🙂
