Park Hotel Villamaria

The noisiest house keeping from 6am banging around in the corridors, banging on room doors, slamming doors. Holidays are meant to be relaxing. Please ask your team to be considerate of guests trying to sleep.

This is quite simply the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. We arrived on the Saturday and the first thing to note is that it is nothing like the photos. There is no ‘parkland’, just a few trees. The outdoor seating area is scruffy and the rooms look as if the last time they saw any updates was circa 1993. Despite the 27 degree heat and clear blue sky the pool was closed due to the earlier rain and ‘dangerous’ weather. Rain. 🤷‍♀️ We had an early start on the Sunday so we were delighted to find that the rooms in the main block were treated to a very loud and very shouty DJ and disco until half past midnight. The noise was so bad that objects in our room were vibrating. Added to this were the hordes of children running up and down the corridors screaming at the tops of their voices until 1am. Despite this we had our long day with early start and returned to the hotel around 6pm hot and tired. I took my daughter to the pool which was unlocked and she had a swim. Until a lady came and shouted at us that we had to leave because the pool closes at 6pm. No signs telling us this on the wide open gate so I didn’t really appreciate her rudeness. We wait to see what delights await us this evening but thankfully, we leave tomorrow. I have to sign off now to help my daughter with the broken shower screen. This after my 16 year old son almost fell down the toilet because the toilet seat is broken. Classy place. I’d avoid if I were you. Oh and I’ve just discovered as daughter leaves the shower that the maid has taken all of our towels and not replaced them.

This hotel left a lot to be desired. The rooms were minimal at best. We had a room with 3 twin beds. One bed had a missing built in lamp. The shower would back up and pool water at your feet. The beds were more like cots and the mattresses were very hard. The towels were worn and torn. The windows were hard to close once opened. The food in the restaurant reminded me of something you would get from an assisted living facility. It was incredibly disappointing. Also, those serving in the restaurant were not friendly. You must walk if you want anything. The closest shops appear to be about a mile away which isn’t bad in this area. There doesn’t appear to be a lot to do around here that is accessible if you don’t have a car. With traffic you are about an hour from Rome. It is about 14 or so miles but traffic is bad and speed is slow. The saving grace was the other staff was fairly kind. Unless you like inconvenience find somewhere else to stay. The photos are well done but not indicative of reality.
