Relais Castrum Boccea in Q&A

Information is provided based on reviews and may contain inaccuracies.

Where is Relais Castrum Boccea located, and how easy is it to reach the city center?

The hotel is situated in a picturesque setting surrounded by nature, a few kilometers from Rome. Guests note that the location is ideal for escaping the hustle and bustle of the city; however, it is quite far from the city center and the metro. The center of Rome can be reached by car (approx. 25–60 minutes depending on traffic) or via a dedicated shuttle. Some visitors complain that the property is "in the middle of nowhere" and that walking around the surrounding area is limited.

Does the hotel provide a shuttle service, and how punctual is it?

The hotel offers a shuttle service to the airport and the metro, costing around $10 per person. However, reviews regarding the service are mixed: while some guests find it convenient, others note a lack of schedule flexibility and delays. In particular, one instance of the shuttle being late due to a fire was mentioned.

Is there parking and EV charging available at the hotel?

The hotel features spacious vehicle parking, and an electric vehicle charging station is also available on-site. Please note that the access road to the hotel can be in poor condition, with some guests complaining about broken asphalt and dusty unpaved sections.

How polite is the staff, and how are problematic situations handled?

Most guests praise the staff for their professionalism, friendliness, and hospitality, highlighting team members named Martina, Omar, and Alessio in particular. However, there are complaints about a complete lack of problem-solving skills in critical situations. For instance, during water outages or room leaks, guests reported encountering indifference or a lack of adequate compensation and discounts.

Are there any hidden fees or additional charges?

Guests mention a city tax, which in some cases seemed high to them (up to 7.50 euros per person). An extra pet fee of 15 euros is also noted, even for small pets.

What kind of breakfast is offered at Relais Castrum Boccea, and what is its quality?

Breakfast is served buffet-style with a selection of sweet and savory items. Quality ratings are quite mixed: while some guests describe the breakfast as rich and excellent, others characterize it as meager, consisting of cheap processed items and undercooked croissants. Queues for coffee and an insufficient number of waitstaff during peak hours were also mentioned.

What food options are offered at the hotel restaurant?

The hotel's restaurant and tavern have received many positive reviews for their refined cuisine, quality meats, and excellent desserts. Guests praise the combination of tradition and originality in the dishes and highlight the fine wine cellar menu. However, there are negative reviews regarding mediocre food quality during special events and an overly expensive fixed-price menu.

How is the soundproofing in the rooms, and what is the overall atmosphere at the hotel?

Soundproofing at the hotel is rated as weak; guests complain about hearing staff conversations and the clattering of dishes outside their windows. The atmosphere depends heavily on ongoing events: while quiet and romantic under normal conditions, noise levels become excessive during weddings and parties due to loud music, shouting, and even fireworks, making it difficult to sleep.

What condition are the rooms and furniture in?

The rooms are decorated in a rustic medieval style featuring wood elements, which many find cozy. However, numerous guests report significant wear and tear, including cracked walls, peeling paint, broken power outlets, and plumbing issues (leaks in the shower, slow-draining toilets). Some also noted uncomfortable mattresses and a lack of blackout curtains.

How clean are the rooms and the property grounds?

Cleanliness at the property is a subject of debate. While some guests find the rooms clean, others complain about a layer of dust on wooden beams and nightstands, mold in the bathrooms, hair in the bed linen, and even bugs (stink bugs or bed bugs) on the curtains. Conversely, the grounds and common areas are described in most reviews as well-maintained and beautiful.

How well do the air conditioning and heating systems work?

The climate control system works inconsistently. Some guests were pleased that the air conditioning was switched on prior to their arrival, while others complained of a complete lack of cooling in their room. Instances of overheating were also mentioned, where rooms remained uncomfortably hot for extended periods.

What additional amenities and services does the hotel offer?

The hotel features a spa area with an emotional shower, a sauna, and a hot tub, described as clean and relaxing. Various halls and event spaces are available for functions. Some suites are equipped with whirlpool tubs.

Is the hotel suitable for guests traveling with children and pets?

The hotel welcomes guests with children, but noisy parties and the inconvenience of navigating stairs with a stroller may pose challenges. Pets are allowed, though an additional fee applies.

This is a lovely hotel about 30 minutes outside of town. It is quiet and relaxing. Yhe breakfast was nice. You can schedule a shuttle to the airport and to the metro stop in town. This is really designed as a place that could be used for weddings, family gatherings, or small retreats. It is not really walkable to anything. It would be a great location for a wedding.

Charming location with beautiful grounds and plenty of space for events, but with a few important things to note. The staff were wonderful—friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay. The property also offers a variety of venues, making it ideal for weddings, retreats, or group gatherings.
That said, there were some inconveniences. Our room had no air conditioning, no shampoo provided, and the windows didn’t have screens—which led to a close encounter with a bee inside our bedroom. The food was also underwhelming and could use improvement.
Overall, a picturesque and peaceful place with great service and event potential, but a few comfort upgrades would make the stay even better.

Beautiful setting in the countryside. The hotel is located on a hill overlooking the fields and streams bellow. The hotel itself is nice, located in a large farmhouse. Staff was very friendly.
The only downside was the room which was on the simpler side, the shower had major leakage which flooded the bathroom every time someone took a shower. Although reported, it was not fixed. Overall, a great place to stay at.
