Villino Scipioni offers seven room types, from the Single Room designed for solo travelers to the Quadruple Room with Garden View for families or small groups. All options share air conditioning, soundproofed walls, flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with shower, bidet and toiletries, ensuring consistent standards regardless of the size chosen.
The main differences relate to the surface area, which ranges from about 14 sqm for the Single Room to 33 sqm for the largest rooms, and the presence of a garden view or balcony in some superior room types.

Each room also includes a tea and coffee-making set and a wardrobe, making the stay practically self-sufficient.
