This was a great find. It was hard to find a place to stay for one night before we set off on a 7 days cruise. This place was perfect. It was run by a father and son who were very helpful. They arranged for a cab to the port and the breakfast the next morning was great. The rooms were very spacious and for the price you can not beat it.

Great place, Adriano is helpful, gives tips about restaurants. Great breakfast, airco. All is nicely renovated. Good location, walking distance from the train staion. Perfect to stay the night before your cruise starts.

This is the best B&B experience that I can remember. And I have enormous gratitude for the support Adrian gave me when I lost everything to a Rome pickpocket and needed help. Location 10 - central, an 11 min walk from the beach and train station, a supermarket and ATM across the street, 3 minutes to bus stops to nearby towns Facilities 10 - Large room, well designed, fully furnished, recently renovated, kitchen well-supplied for cooking - even with fresh garlic, and everything perfectly clean, polished, and organized. Quality sleep 10 Breakfast and kitchen 10 - Breakfast sensitive to my dietary needs, and everything you might want to cook occasional meals B&B host 10 plus - service beyond the normal with compassionate equanimity. A solo, after 6 weeks of touring, I wanted a quiet place in Italy to immerse myself in Italian life. Why Civitavecchia for an extended stay? The paradox: While Civitavecchia is a cruise ship port city with excellent connections to Rome and the rest of Italy, its tourist multitudes flow from ship to bus, train, plane or rental car with few stopping for a meal or an overnight in seaside hotels and restaurants leaving Civitavecchia primarily local. I wanted to immerse myself in a small, tourist-free Italian city by the sea, where I could walk the streets, get the feel of the place, its common sights, noises, smells, the sound of the language, to learn to read signs, menus, and newspaper headlines, and where and how to shop for groceries and other necessities. But is there enough in and around Civitavecchia to justify a two-week stay in this small town on a first visit to Italy? Well, it depends on your values, interests, lifestyle. I can share my perspective. I had had enough of tourist crowds and lines, and frequent changes of cities. While, of course, I wanted to see Italy’s great cities, churches, ruins, museums and spectacular geography and to taste the regional foods and wines, I found that my June visit slot was already crowded with tourists in all these places. I was told that Cinq Terre felt more crowded than St. Peter's Basilica. I decided that quality visits to popular destinations would require return trips in late October or in April. So be it. Adrian’s website shares his research on points of interest in the city and neighboring medieval towns less than 30 minutes away. The first night he sent me to Pan, Amore Y Fantasia for the best dinner of the trip in a totally local restaurant complete with a large family in extended celebration. Then there were easy day trips by bus to nearby Tolfa and Tarquinnia - quality medieval towns with almost no tourists. Of course I made a day trip to Rome, an hour away by modern train, but finding hordes of tourists and long lines at all popular sites, I walked my 25,000 steps around city highlights and between them using tourist-free side streets and ate in local restaurants saving the inside attractions till low season. While the weather was generally fine, I’m sensitive to direct sun, so my perfect days were often arising early and walking to the Tyrrhenian Sea 12 min away and walking the long shoreline sometimes on the promenade and sometimes at the water line from the port to the southern reaches of the city, and then finding my way to San Georgio Hotel for a quality breakfast from 6:30 am to about 10:45 am. Many mornings, an umbrella protected table on their balcony overlooking the sea was one of my finest offices in memory. With laptop and notebook, I was able to keep a journal, write a trip blog, keep up correspondence, and to read and watch videos about Italy and its history. Adrian and my Rome Adventure As Adrian saw me off to walk to the train for Rome, he clearly warned me about the highly skilled pickpockets in Rome. Having invested in a pickpocket-proof Scottevest, I was confident that I had protected myself. However, after 25,000 steps I stopped in a local restaurant for a late dinner. After paying, and getting up in my well-fatigued condition, I inadvertently put my wallet in my side pocket as I do at home--not in the Scottevest. Nuff said. One bump in a mini-market near the train station and my wallet likely changed pockets there. Adrian had experience in these matters. He guided me through the necessary steps, lent me the money for a trip to the Canadian Consultate in Rome, wrote a note requesting the proper police report, sent me to the less busy police station at the Civitavecchia train station, and was calm and supportive in other ways. While he was willing to trust me to pay my owing rents and repay his loan him till I had returned home, I found an easy way to pay him and send myself extra cash through him using PayPal. Adrian’s grace helped me find perspective in my situation, that I was one of the many thousands who had lost their wallets in Rome. It may seem strange but I very much enjoyed meeting three police officers at the station. They were interested and helpful, joked, and showed each other photos on our smartphones. Also staff at the Canadian consulate were wonderful. Fortunately, I had photocopies of my passport, citizenship, and birth certificate and they were able to provide emergency travel documents within 24 hours. During the two-hour wait in their offices, I met the other five Canadians who had to replace their passports that day. We had a great time sharing our stories and laughing. Luckily my loss was only a couple of days before my flight home. Otherwise, it would have been a different matter. Overall, my two weeks stay in Civitavecchia, most of it at B&B Civitavecchia, was just what I wanted and needed. A "10" experience.

After the disorienting theft of a bag with everything of any value in it - including my passport, credit cards, money, etc, the cruise I was meant to get on denied me boarding. In a gesture that reaffirmed my faith in all things Italian, an extremely kind man running the Civitavecchia port operations arranged a stay at this B&B for me and two fellow pax who experienced the same fate, knowing that we were penniless. Being the 'lodging snob' that I am, was super skeptical at what I would find, but with few options I accepted. Since this is not a review of my misfortune, I will get to the point. We arrived at the building, exhausted and in a bit dazed from the days events to a warm greeting by the owner and told to make ourselves at home. The apartment is up a short flight of stairs after which you will find a spacious, spotless two bedroom flat, with a large bathroom, kitchen with fridge and pantry stocked with water, juice, fruit and other snacks. The bedrooms are large and bed comfortable. There was wifi, which I only used for my phone since my computer was now in the hands of the thiefs that stole my bag. But I digress. This lovely place has everything you need for a comfortable stay - even if you have nothing! I didn't get much of a chance to explore the neighborhood, but in the short trips to/from the property there appeared to be a handful of restaurants and small shops in the vicinity and upon closer inspection of a map, close to the train station, centrum and port. We had a very early morning start to get to our respective embassies, but even so were provided fresh croissants and coffee before our departure. I couldn't have asked for a nicer experience, despite the circumstances. If you want the usual overpriced, cold standard hotel stay, then by all means book a room at a local chain hotel. But if you want a warm, welcoming local Italian experience, stay here. You won't be disappointed. Thanks Adriano (and dad), Stefano, Antonio for being so kind. We will be back :)

È stato uno dei B&B migliori in cui io abbia soggiornato. Pulizia, cortesia, cordialità, un appartamento a dir poco perfetto. Non mancava nulla, ma proprio nulla. Era come essere a casa, anzi meglio, perché io a casa non ho la cassetta medica 😅 Adriano una persona fantastica, socievole e di cuore, lui e sua moglie Laura ci hanno aiutato in un'impresa a dir poco difficile, ma grazie a loro tutto si è sistemato e non finiremo mai di ringraziarli. Consiglio il posto a chiunque soggiorni a Civitavecchia, nelle vicinanze c'è di tutto e poi la casa è un sogno. Avrete anche la possibilità di scegliere tra le due camere. Lo consiglio vivamente.

Abbiamo dormito solo una notte in questo delizioso B&B. Essendo in cinque (una famiglia composta da due adulti e tre ragazzi) abbiamo avuto a disposizione entrambe le stanze, tutto l'appartamento in pratica. Abbiamo apprezzato innanzitutto la cortesia del titolare che ci ha messo a disposizione acqua, frutta, yogurt, caffè e tisane, senza limitazioni. Ottimo il set cortesia (presente perfino la lozione corpo). La colazione (cornetti freschi, yogurt, latte, caffè, oltre a fette biscottate, marmellate, ecc...) è stata servita su una tovaglia di stoffa. Consiglio vivamente di visitare Civitavecchia (molto bella!) e di pernottare in questa struttura dal design moderno e funzionale, caratterizzata dalla gentilezza di chi la gestisce.

Civitavecchia è un buon punto di partenza per poter vistare le zone vicine: Roma e dintorni ma anche splendide spiagge. abbiamo soggiornato 5 giorni ed è stato come essere a casa. il proprietario è stato gentilissimo e abbiamo sempre trovato tutto pulito, non mancava nulla.

Adriano is a wonderful host & the location of the B&B is very convenient. Our room was large, clean with a comfortable bed. It was also air-conditioned! The breakfast area was spacious & breakfast was delicious - Adriano makes great coffee!

Stupendo B&bB. Accoglienza spaziale, dentro trovi di tutto da merendi a succhi di frutta, acqua, caffè con cialde, frutta. Casa molto bella, letto comodo, proprietario gentilissimo e disponibile. La consiglio vivamente!

We recently stayed here last minute when we decided to visit Civitavecchia. Adriano was very prompt in answering our request. He met us to check us in and gave local restaurant recommendations and walking directions around the town. He was extremely hospitable! His place is located one flight walk up in an apartment building not far from the shore. Highly recommend place to stay to explore Civitavecchia. His dad even came the next morning and prepared breakfast and coffee for us! Air conditioning works brilliantly. Clean and welcoming. He had items stocked in the fridge as well. Wifi and extra accessories for showering. It was all the little touches that make such a difference.
