Italstay – Nuova Residenza Romeo – Affittacamere Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first walked up to Italstay – Nuova Residenza Romeo – Affittacamere, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. The name’s a bit of a mouthful, and it’s technically classified as an “affittacamere” which basically means furnished rooms rather than a traditional hotel. But you know what? Sometimes those less formal places end up being the most authentic experiences you’ll have in Italy.

What struck me immediately was how this felt like staying in someone’s actual home rather than a sterile hotel room. The building has that lived-in Italian charm – thick walls that keep things surprisingly cool even in summer, and windows that actually open wide (something I always miss in modern hotels). The host was genuinely welcoming, not in that rehearsed hospitality way, but more like they were actually happy to have you there. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward – no lengthy forms or upselling attempts, just keys and some solid local recommendations I actually ended up using.

The rooms themselves are what I’d call “thoughtfully simple.” Clean lines, decent beds that don’t leave you with a backache, and – this matters more than people realize – good water pressure in the shower. I mean, after a day of walking around Italian cities, that’s basically all you need, right? The space felt bigger than typical European accommodations, probably because they didn’t try to cram unnecessary furniture everywhere. Storage was adequate, though if you’re the type who travels with half your wardrobe, you might need to be strategic about unpacking. One thing I particularly appreciated was how quiet it stayed at night. Italian streets can get lively (especially on weekends), but the rooms were well-insulated from most of the street noise.

What really won me over was the attention to small details that show someone actually cares about the guest experience. Fresh towels that smelled like they’d been line-dried, decent coffee available in the morning, and WiFi that actually worked consistently – honestly, you’d be surprised how many places mess up these basics. The 7.7 rating makes sense to me; it’s not luxury, but it’s solid and reliable with touches of genuine Italian hospitality. The three-star classification feels about right too – you’re getting more than basic accommodation but without the formality or price tag of higher-end places. If you’re looking for marble bathrooms and concierge services, this isn’t your spot. But if you want a comfortable, authentic base that feels more like staying with Italian friends than checking into a corporate hotel, this place actually delivers on that promise.
