The core of Villa Tuscolana dates back to 1578 by the hands of cardinal Alessandro Rufini, owner of Villa Rufina (aka Villa Falconieri). Upon his death, it went to the Reverend Apostolic Chamber and then to cardinal Guido Ferreri. Many owners followed. Since 1872 the villa has belonged to the Aldobrandini Lancellotti family. It was heavily damaged in WWII, but renovated in 1966 by the Salesian Order. The current owners turned it into a hotel. However, this villa should NOT be a hotel. Firstly, the hallways have no rugs, only tile, so you hear EVERYONE as they enter and exit the hallway of your floor. The bathrooms are the worst. I liken the shower to a vertical coffin, it is so small. They give NO amenities, except a shower cap and a tiny bar of hand soap. The carpet in the rooms appears dirty and the "queen" sized beds are two singles put together. All in all a very spartan room. We booked three nights, and pre-paid through Orbitz. However, it was so bad, we decided to leave after the first night and lost our money of the last two.
If you want to spent time in real life Italian life, with astonishing wiews from Rome form the hills in a confortable and elegant envrimorent, this is the place.
Nice quiet stay in an large old villa.
