CruisinManiac Posted July 13, 2010 #1 Share Posted July 13, 2010 A couple of years ago, I read here about a family run B&B in the middle of Rome. It was run by a very nice family. I remember that it had no elevator, so we didn't book there because of my elderly parents. I think it started with an "A". Can anyone make a suggestion?

Rare cruisemom42 Posted July 13, 2010 #2 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Could you be referring to Nicolas Inn? They used to get a lot of positive comments on Cruise Critic although I haven't heard much about them in a while. They are family-run, small, and in the heart of Rome. I think they book up well in advance. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g187791-d501581-Reviews-Nicolas_Inn-Rome_Lazio.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan-M Posted July 13, 2010 #3 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Just in case you don't get the name of the B & B from someone here, Tripadvisor is a good source for accommodation reviews. Here's a link to the Rome B&B reviews. If you want to refine the search to a particular neighborhood, e.g. "Historic Center", click on the appropriate box in the panel on the left, under "Neighborhood". p.s. Just realized that I was composing my post when Cynthia posted above ... which reconfirms that Tripadvisor is a popular site.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sultan_sfo Posted July 13, 2010 #4 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Many of us are booked in (BB) Arco del Laura in Travestre area in Oct 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinManiac Posted July 14, 2010 Author #5 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Nope, neither of those are the B&B that I seek, although it does start with an A. It's something like Ambrose or Abatrose.... I had already done a search on Tripadvisor (my friend ;)) and Venere, which is where I booked the B&B in 2008. Then, I got a very nice email from the proprietor saying that the Venere website had messed up, and they didn't have the 3 rooms that I booked. I was very disappointed because I had read such wonderful reviews both on CC and Tripadvisor. Oh, how I which I had saved that email. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalawgirl Posted July 14, 2010 #6 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Hotel Aberdeen perhaps? It's a Rick Steves favorite http://www.hotelaberdeen.it/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinManiac Posted July 15, 2010 Author #7 Share Posted July 15, 2010 No, it's definitely a B&B and not a hotel. Although, thank you for that link. The hotel looks nice and can be a contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euro cruiser Posted July 15, 2010 #8 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Well, there's a B&B called Abacus, but it's not right downtown: http://www.bbplanet.com/bed-and-breakfast-abacus-in-rome-rome_s4624/en/ The site linked above lists 603 B&Bs in Rome - have fun digging through.

Bobal Posted July 15, 2010 #9 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Nope, neither of those are the B&B that I seek, although it does start with an A. It's something like Ambrose or Abatrose.... There's one called Aldebaran which is #5 in the list of B&Bs on Trip Advisor? have you searched on B&B's rather than hotels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinManiac Posted July 15, 2010 Author #10 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Yes, I searched the B&B listings, not hotels. Nope, not Abacus. It's in the center of Rome, in an old building. the proprietors live in the building as well. It has three or four stories, and a couple of rooms with rooftop veranda's. I give up! Maybe the name will come to me in a dream. As someone pointed out, there are only 600 something B&B's in Rome central. How hard could it be! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare YoPhilly Posted July 19, 2010 #11 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I had already done a search on Tripadvisor (my friend ;)) and Venere, which is where I booked the B&B in 2008.

Oh, how I which I had saved that email. :( You might try logging into your Venere account to find that old reservation...or ask Venere to track it for you.

CruisinManiac Posted August 19, 2010 Author #12 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I tied this, but it says that I don't have an account. :confused: Anyway, just wanted to report back that I did find the B&B, and it was quite by accident while researching another. It the Arco dei Tolomei. Yay!!! Now, I just hope they have space this time. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
