Merlhome is a family-run guest house in Fondi, in southern Lazio, with air-conditioned rooms and a private bathroom for exclusive use, located about 2.9 km from the railway station.
The property sits in a residential setting with a garden, just steps from the bars and restaurants of the town centre, and is entirely non-smoking. The rooms, all with a desk, free WiFi and flat-screen TV, are designed for those seeking a simple and functional stay close to the life of the town: some enjoy a city view, others a garden view, and some feature a private balcony.
The location is particularly appreciated by couples, who rated it 9.3 for a trip for two, thanks to the proximity to places like Da Zio Mario and Brother’s Cafè, just a few metres from the entrance. Fondi is a good base for those wanting to visit the southern coast of Lazio: the Circeo National Park, the Temple of Jupiter Anxur and the port of Formia can all be reached by car in under forty minutes, making Merlhome suitable both for short stays and for those who want to explore the area at a relaxed pace.
Merlhome offers three types of double room, all between 14 and 15 square metres, designed for two people and furnished in a simple, well-kept style. Each room has a private bathroom with bidet and free toiletries, air conditioning, soundproofing, a desk and flat-screen TV, plus free WiFi included throughout the property. The bed is always a French double, comfortable for a couple visiting southern Lazio.
What sets the three options apart is mainly the view and the presence of a balcony: two rooms overlook the town, one overlooks the inner garden, while two of the three offer access to a private balcony to enjoy in the evening. The smallest in the range, at 14 square metres, still keeps the same amenities as the others, making it a compact yet complete choice for those staying in Fondi for just a few days.
This King Room, the largest in the property along with the other room of the same name at 15 square metres, overlooks the town and offers access to a private balcony, ideal for those who want to enjoy a few minutes outdoors without leaving the property. The private bathroom includes a bidet, shower and free toiletries, while the air-conditioned, soundproofed setting ensures a good night’s rest even during the hottest hours of the day.
Unlike the other two room types, this King Room has no balcony but overlooks the inner garden, making it the quietest choice for those who prefer a green view over a view of the town. Here too, the private bathroom comes complete with bidet and hairdryer, with air conditioning and soundproofing ensuring a quiet stay.
More compact than the other two rooms with a balcony, this 14-square-metre version keeps the same amenities with a city view and access to a private balcony, making it a practical choice for those staying alone or as a couple without giving up any comfort.
Merlhome offers air-conditioned rooms with a private bathroom featuring a bathtub or shower, bidet, hairdryer and complimentary toiletries, plus a desk and wardrobe or closet for those staying a few extra days. Every room has a flat-screen TV, internet connection and soundproofing, while free WiFi is available throughout the property.
Common areas include a garden with outdoor furniture, ideal for relaxing after sightseeing in the area, and the property also organises walking tours and lessons on local culture on request. Housekeeping is provided daily and room access is via key cards. Merlhome is entirely non-smoking, with fire extinguishers and heating in all rooms, and offers family solutions for those travelling in groups; please note that the upper floors are accessible only by stairs.
