Al Palazzetto is a bed & breakfast set in a 15th-century building in the heart of Tivoli, about 200 metres from Villa d’Este and 3 km from Villa Adriana, both UNESCO World Heritage sites. The property suits those seeking a stay with character, featuring exposed beams, rustic furnishings and a breakfast room overlooking Rome.
The rooms, from the 15 sqm Double Room to the 65 sqm Suite with two bathrooms and a separate sitting area, all share air conditioning, a minibar and a private marble bathroom with bathrobes; some of the higher-category rooms add a city view or a fireplace. The Junior Suite and the Suite, both arranged over multiple areas, are designed for longer stays or families.
Breakfast, served buffet-style with continental, Italian and gluten-free options, is one of the strengths highlighted by guests, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The central location, a ten-minute walk from Tivoli railway station, makes the B&B a convenient base for visiting the city’s historic villas and the hilly surroundings east of Rome.
Al Palazzetto offers six room types, from the more compact 15 sqm Double Room to the 65 sqm Suite with two bathrooms and a separate sitting area. All rooms are air-conditioned and equipped with a minibar, flat-screen TV and a private marble bathroom with toiletries and bathrobes, a detail that extends even to the simplest rooms in the range.
What sets the room types apart is the size, the presence of a city view, the number of areas and some distinctive details such as the fireplace in the Superior Double Room or the two bathrooms in the largest Suite. The Junior Suite and the Suite, both arranged with a separate living room and bedroom, suit longer stays or those travelling in a group, while the Comfort and Double rooms remain the most straightforward choice for a couple’s stay in Tivoli’s historic centre.
The most compact room type at the property, at 15 sqm with rustic style, wooden furniture and a private marble bathroom with bathrobes. Equipped with air conditioning and satellite TV, it is the simplest and most economical of the available rooms.
Twice the size of the standard Double Room, with a fireplace that makes it unique among the property’s rooms. The private bathroom is fitted with a shower and bidet, with a minibar included for an in-room snack.
At 50 sqm arranged with a separate living room and bedroom, this is the first multi-area room in the range, suited to those travelling as three or wanting more space. A city view, dressing area and sofa bed set it apart from the single rooms.
The largest room type at the property, 65 sqm with two bathrooms, one of which has a walk-in shower, and a sitting area with a sofa separate from the sleeping area. The only room with an extra-large double bed and two bathrooms.
The same size as the first Superior room but without a fireplace: here the distinctive feature is the city view and tiled flooring, with a wardrobe, heating and a hairdryer provided in the bathroom.
Smaller than the two Superior rooms but larger than the base Double Room, with a private bathroom fitted with a bidet and toiletries. A city view and tiled flooring complete this room designed for a couple’s stay.

Al Palazzetto occupies a 15th-century building in the historic centre of Tivoli, a short walk from the alleys and squares of the upper town. The neighbourhood is a traditional one, with bars and gelaterias close at hand: the restaurant Parenti la Vacca is just 40 metres away and the Antica Gelateria Artigiana Mariannina 30 metres, while the bar Lu Barittu is 100 metres away. The property’s breakfast room overlooks Rome, a detail appreciated even by guests staying just one night.
Tivoli railway station is about 550 metres away, a ten-minute walk, and connects directly to Roma Termini and Roma Tiburtina in around an hour’s journey. Ciampino Airport is 24 km away, and Fiumicino Airport 46 km away. 250 metres away stands Villa d’Este, a UNESCO World Heritage site with its Italian-style gardens and famous fountains, while Villa Adriana, the summer residence of Emperor Hadrian, can be reached in about 3 km.
In summer, Tivoli is well suited to evening walks through the gardens of Villa d’Este and the panoramic terraces over the Aniene valley, while in the cooler months visits to the archaeological sites of Villa Adriana are more comfortable thanks to the mild temperatures. Nearby, Parco Villa Gregoriana offers trails through waterfalls and natural caves, while central Rome can be reached in a day trip thanks to frequent rail connections, making Tivoli also an alternative base for those visiting the capital without staying there directly.
