We chose Hotel Cristalo for our visit to Tivoli and Hadrian's Villa to avoid the hustle bustle and crowding in Tivoli. We also wanted a hotel that offered parking, since we were renting a car. We were very satisfied with our choice.
Hotel Cristalo sits on the flats below Tivoli, actually closer to Hadrian's Villa than Tivoli is! It also has the advantage of normal roads, designed for normal traffic (you'll understand once you drive yourself to the Villa d' Este!).
The hotel is associated with the attached Restarante il Torchio. Very convenient after a hard day touring.
The staff were friendly, accommodating and eager to practice their English. The rooms were spacious, the shower a bit small. In room fridge and ok towels. Other than people walking in the hall past our room to reach their's, it was very quiet. read more
