Hotels near Museum Mauro Macera, Tivoli

Great modern room and terrace in a beautiful old building. Very spacious and spotless room and bathroom, plenty of closet space and shelving (even in the bathroom!) to unpack. Perfect firm mattress and pillows, serious blackout curtains, and very well sound-proofed. A very short walk to the historic city center and Villa d'Este, a 10 minute drive to Villa Adriana. Delightful breakfast of fruits, fresh pastry, yogurt, insanely tasty fruit juice, and optional eggs. Friendly, easy-going host.

Scelto, tra i tanti, per la presenza della piscina. Al momento della prenotazione, confermavano la disponibilità della piscina. Come richiesto dal personale, si effettuava pagamento anticipato della somma richiesta, per intero, per le due notti. All'arrivo (check in ore 13), veniva comunicato che la piscina era chiusa a causa di valori non conformi (per quanto riferito, valori di cloro alti). La camera assegnata (218) godeva di una meravigliosa vista su una autorimessa/demolizioni auto. Il bagno, evidentemente datato, mostrava i segni dell'usura e della mancanza di pulizia (griglia areazione piena di polvere, box doccia rotto, rivestimento doccia sporco, come da foto che si allegano). A causa del materasso, sicuramente datato e poco adatto alla funzione propria, il giorno successivo il personale disponeva il cambio camera. Con la 217, per quanto inizialmente riferito, sottoposta a ristrutturazione. Di ristrutturato, tuttavia, vi era solo il bagno. Tra l'altro, con le ante del box doccia che non chiudevano bene tanto che durante la doccia l'acqua arrivava al pavimento. Trattandosi di camera matrimoniale, si immaginava la presenza di materasso matrimoniale. Purtroppo si immaginava e basta. Si era costretti a constatare che il letto matrimoniale era composto da due reti singole e due materassi singoli, trasformati in matrimoniale con un topper. Ovviamente, la funzione ”matrimoniale” era impossibile..... Per ”mera curiosità”, si provvedeva a visionare il materasso..... Definirlo datato è poco rispondente alla realtà dei fatti .... Definirlo sporco? Si rimanda al lettore la visione delle foto. Ogni altro commento è superfluo ... P.S. anche per il giorno successivo, biglietto di ”Pool closed” per valori non conformi....

Our stay at La Tenuta di Rocca Bruna was unexpectedly better than we expected. We wanted a quiet space, in which we could spend time leisurely, but were met with a beautiful, quiet resort full of trees, a beautiful pool and a great room, with staff ready to help with whatever we needed. Our room was spacious and equipped with everything we needed, and just a stone's throw away from the pool, which was the highlight of our stay. We enjoyed our time in the pool, as well as walking around the area, and also the food from the attached restaurant, with is set in beautiful halls. We ended up staying longer than we anticipated, and the resort was happy to accommodate our request. Although not too close to the city centre, we did manage to find taxis to go to Villa D'Este and Hadrian's Villa, to experience the life of Tivoli as well. All in all, it was an amazing experience.

Staff are lovely, and rooms are fine (no kettle). There's no pool despite the website saying there is. So our plans for a hard day sightseeing followed by a swim, didn't work out. There's a facility next door which you pay for. N summer t looks like There's lots of outdoor pools but short opening hours in winter (end Sept) meant nothing was available to us. Really feel this is false advertising. Food in the restaurant was shocking. Overcooked ”lamb” with frozen green beans and croquet potoes. The room itself is a huge room with tables packed so tight you can barely squeeze between them. Breakfast buffet was OK, but tinned peaches and pears? You grow them, the fruit shop down the road had fabulous fresh fruit. Hugely overpriced and total rip-off. Not the fault of the lovely staff. Very close to train station with good service to Rome and Tivoli.

This is actually quite a difficult hotel to rate, simply because it is so very unusual. The first impression is that the entire building has been left stuck in a time warp, somewhere between 1940 and 1960, and that nothing has been done to it for the past 70 years or so. But first impressions can be misleading, and this one, I think, was. It obviously has been a very grand hotel in its day, and still retains many quite grand features. It has also had quite a lot done to it as time passed, since basically its rooms and their amenities are actually well up to modern standards, although they may not look as if they are. That is what the visitor needs to get over. It is difficult to take a place seriously that looks, everywhere, so very, very art deco. But actually, this is a very good hotel. It is quiet, comfortable and central, and has just about everything you would want (unless you’re an anglophone, that is, but more of that later). Using our usual rating system it comes out very highly on almost everything. Location Perfect, if Tivoli Terme is what you’re after. The shops, bars, station, and Spa Treatment centre are all within a few minutes’ walk. Having said that, there really isn’t anything much at Tivoli Terme these days. Its heyday as a spa resort seems to be well over. We settled on this hotel as a centre to visit Tivoli itself, and its gardens and Roman remains etc., but the location for that turned out to be less than perfect. Tivoli is much further away than you think, and you are reliant on buses or trains or expensive taxis to get there. Again, more of that later. Reception Very friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Speak perfect English and don’t pretend not to understand my, admittedly, less than perfect Italian. Accommodation Our suite was possibly the largest we have ever stayed in, far bigger than the flat we lived in when we were first married. It was a little daunting at first, in that all the furniture was in the same art deco style and looked a little worse for wear. It had obviously been of the highest quality when new, but was showing signs of its age. In practice, however, it was surprisingly comfortable, the room was extremely quiet, and we had no problems. Not with the furniture, that is. There were two drawbacks, however. First was the TV, which was absolutely enormous, but did not have a single channel in English on it, not even BBC World or CNN. Bring your laptop with a VPN and Iplayer/ITVX if you want to watch any English programmes. The wifi is free and worked perfectly while we were there. More serious was the complete absence of any tea or coffee making facilities in the room, and the refusal of reception to supply any on health and safety grounds. Having said that, they do a very acceptable pot of tea in the bar, at a very reasonable price, but you don’t always want to be bothered, do you? Breakfast Well up to standard, with the usual vast Italian array of cakes, a good choice of cereals (including mue

It was here with a bus trip. The hotel is located on the highly driven street to Rome and in the rooms it is quite noisy. Partly rooms had to be exchanged. To the beautiful place of Tivoli it is over 5 km! The environment itself is boring. Rooms were OK, individual cleanliness issues, but no problems. Rooms are quite old and properly furnished. The bathrooms are small and the showers are very narrow. Personal was friendly. We wouldn't choose it alone because of the location and the showers.
