Aprilia Hotel Guide - Monastery of St Scholastica hotels in Aprilia, Italy.

"Great stay near a good shop."

"Loved it ! The hotel was conveniently located near the train station, as we wanted to visit Rome everyday. The hotel has a shuttle bus ( at a price, so ask) to the train station. They can also arrange a taxi to drop and pick you up at anytime from the train station..10€ . Its a 15 minute walk, if the weather is cool. Plenty of free parking space reserved for the hotel. You can request for it when booking. The staff are amazing! They spoke English and were very helpful! We booked the only room available on Expedia, twin room..but when we arrived they gave us a double room. Very thankful for that. The hotel is quiet. The room is modern, dark curtains but the sunlight comes in through the sides, wasnt a big deal as we are early wakers anyway. Comfortable bed. Air conditioning worked well, and even when we got back in the room, it was cool. Modern bathroom, toiletries available, plenty of towels. Fantastic shower water pressure! Tv had English news channels. A fridge. A telephone. No kettle. They told us there is nothing to do..or see in town. A supermarket nearby. A big shoe shop. And a Chinese shop that sells Everything!! McDonald's is 4 minutes drive away. A few outlet shops a drive away..like Euronics. 30 minutes by train to Rome. Book at the station at the ticket machine. Very easy, many languages. Always ask anyone there which platform to Rome! As it keeps changing and the announcements are only in Italian. Everyone is helpful there. "

"We had the pleasure of spending a few days at Casale del Gelso last week. It would be impossible to overstate the quality, cleanliness, charm and attention to detail the host puts into the house and the guests.Firstly, the house was impeccably clean, each room is an ensuite, the common area is delightful and the kitchen well-equipped. It was perfect for a large family like ours to share with the perfect mix of privacy and communal living within the space. The decor is light and airy and very homey. The outdoor spaces are fantastic. Clearly avid gardeners, the back garden is like a series of inviting little rooms. There are many different seating areas, but the patio immediately off of the back is accessible to the house and we spent several very enjoyable nights eating and drinking and grilling there. The owners made sure the hot tub was ready for us to use and their attention to detail and to our comfort and satisfaction was truly amazing. What a perfect Italian country retreat. The immediate property is surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. The views are spectacular.A few notes: definitely make sure you have cars for everyone because it is not really walkable. Even the train into Rome is far enough away that one needs to drive to it. The nearby towns are very charming and Lake Nemi is very pretty.I recommend Casale del Gelso wholeheartedly and would give it six stars if I could."

"The property was great. Extremely peaceful and serene at night. The location is good too, with it being close to Rome. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. "
