Incredible Staff, Ideal Location, Lovely, and did I say INCREDIBLE STAFF?
STAFF: Spoke English (& many other languages) very well, the staff at Panama Garden are seriously amazing! They have a true understanding of hospitality, were dedicated to helping in all ways possible to make our vacation pleasant, & as a group of mature female travelers... these were the most respectful men we encountered in all of Italy!
This was the first time driving in Italy, & in the less than 45 minutes from the airport the car had an unknown light come on. Lorenzo (& staff) helped identify what this was and worked tirelessly with the inferior car rental company to find ways to keep our trip from being disrupted (SIDE NOTE: Do not rent cars from Localto).
LOCATION was beautifully residential in nature yet has restaurants and bus stops near by, & is quiet at night (yet less than a couple miles from main landmarks). Free parking is limited, yet they have some available beneath for daily rent. The grounds are kept so lush, many areas to sit and relax, and the whole place harkens a vintage glamour of the 1950's or '60's...yet the ancient Italian flare and contemporary touches.
ROOMS were lovely, clean, updated, fun bathrooms (I might suggest instructions for Americans, yet I found this very entertaining), wonderful Termurpedic type foam mattresses (mattresses do not move when partner does, are frim yet conforming & ideal after long days taking in sight seeing), & the rooms made good use of what was undoubtedly an historical building (don't expect HUGE rooms, yet everything you need).
AMAZING FOOD: The morning breakfast is far more than just a few items. You have delicious choices of pastries, meats, cheeses, salad, fruits, you can make a sandwich (and be sure to put that crazy good white salad dressing stuff in your sandwich.. YUM), they will make you a cappuccino, juices, & all items fresh abd flavorful. Simply wonderful!
If I ever return to Roma, Panama Garden will be my only choice! It just feels like home now. read more
