Charming and Peaceful, but a Bit Pricey
Villa Delle Palme in Civitavecchia is a lovely little boutique hotel- clean, charming, and very well maintained. The staff deserves special mention: everyone I encountered was warm, friendly, and genuinely eager to make the stay comfortable. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing, a nice place to unwind before or after a cruise.
The dinner was surprisingly good, and the bartenders were fantastic, great energy and excellent drinks! Just a note for future guests: don’t overpack. There are quite a few stairs and a very small elevator, so traveling light will make life much easier.
My only real gripe was the price it felt a bit steep for the style of hotel and the amenities offered. While I enjoyed my stay, I do wish I’d chosen something a bit closer to the port for convenience.
Overall, it’s a cozy, peaceful spot with great people and good food just be ready for a few stairs and a short trek to the ships!
