You get the best of both worlds at Antica Villa di Bruto -- modern amenities and historical value.
Our room was impeccably clean, and the bathroom the snazziest of our trip with a huge jacuzzi tub, beautiful tile work, and a mountain-top view over all of Rome. The patio area was a lovely spot to read a book and enjoy the view of the adjacent olive vineyard and and the whole of Rome in the distance (if you squint on a clear day, you can see the top of St. Peter's). It was also a reasonable walk to all the sights in Tivoli, which was very useful since parking is a pickle in city center on a busy day.
The morning we left, the owner's husband took us on a 30-minute tour of the grounds including a substantial Roman ruin on the hill beneath the hotel. It is believed to have been the palace of Brutus, ergo the name Villa di Bruto. So cool!
Absolutely one of the accommodation highlights of the trip, and the staff was phenomenal!
