We had an amazing time staying at this villa – it exceeded all our expectations. The property was beautifully maintained, spacious, and spotlessly clean. The views from were breathtaking, and we especially loved the peaceful surroundings.

The host was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. We traveled as a family of four, and the villa was perfect for both relaxing and spending quality time together.

We would definitely come back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for stress-free escape!

Silvio and Monica were wonderful hosts at the villa that has been in her family for generations. The room was spacious and comfortable though not fancy and the garden was lovely. We were minutes to Trastevere but our room was quiet and we slept great. We are often used to Four Season type accommodations but wanted to be near our daughter who is studying nearby. The $$ we saved staying here instead paid for our dinners all week!

Silvio could not have been nicer helping us with parking (which we found free on the street), calling cabs, etc. Our bed was remade every day and new towels were laid out-more than I can say for some 4 and 5 star hotels these days.

If you want to stay on the hip side of the river and don't mind comfortable and simple over expensive and grand, I highly recommend!

Roman Oasis

Beautiful iron gate opening to an oasis in the city. Beautiful building, room and best of all - the garden terrace where we were served delicious pastries and cappuccino for breakfast. We could have been happy just staying there the whole day.
Sylvio was so friendly and helpful.
I will dream often of our stay there!

Excellent hotel right in the heart of Trastevere

The place is amazing and in a perfect location right in Trastevere. The bars and restaurants are all a 5 minute walk away but you're far enough away from all the noise so can have a quiet nights sleep

The garden they have is lovely, perfect for breakfast or just to unwind after a busy day site seeing

Silvio and his team are perfect hosts and always available with any questions

We loved our stay at Villa Matissa. Morning coffee and pastry in the peaceful garden oasis was an unforgettable experience. Its Trastevere location put us walking distance from all of the sights we were excited to see. And we greatly appreciated the transfer they arranged for us from FCO airport. A wonderful stay!

Completely perfect in all respects. Boutique style with all the amenities of a 4 star chain. Very friendly owner who helped us book airport transport. A lovely walk into the centre (pantheon) area but in a little buzzing area of it's own for meals, ice-cream, and drinks. Would most definitely go back!

Comfy B&B/guest house 200 metres from Trastevere border
Mid Jan, I was only resident for 2 of my 3 nights.
Silvio the host is excellent; arranges taxis etc
Third night the plumbing noise from guests next door was obvious
Breakfast offering a bit slim maybe; stale pastry, average fresh fruit (maybe nice preserved fruit a better option)
There was a vacant room on ground floor; this would benefit from being kitted out as a lounge, as seating options in room limited to one desk chair
Overall a lovely stay though. Happy with my choice.

This guesthouse is a hidden jewel in Trastevere. It is nestled away from the street, making it a quiet and peaceful stay. It has an amazing garden in the rear, where yiu can have your breakfast or read a book in peace.

Our Host, Sylvio was friendy, nice and made you feel at home. Katia made sure your room was clean and comfortable.

You will love the Trastevere area, with its quaint scenery, restaurants and nightlife

I highly recommend Villa Matissa - you will not be disappointed

Fantastic Hotel

My wife and I stayed here for a few nights and it was wonderful. The room as wonderfully sized, clean, and comfortable. Breakfast was great to have out in the beautiful garden. The hosts were very helpful and nice. The hotel was conveniently located a simple tram, bus ride, or short walk from all the sites in Rome. I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanted a place to stay a little bit out of downtown Rome.

Charming Little Hideaway

Villa Matissa is a charming little hideaway tucked away from the street in the Trastavere neighborhood of room. Very small, with only six rooms, you feel like you are staying in a private villa. In fact, you are!

Silvio is the consummate host. Very personable and fun to talk to. Our stay was short, just a day and a half on the way back to the U.S. after having spent a long weekend in Paris.

The rate includes a very nice continental breakfast, which can be taken inside on the lower level, or outside in the beautiful rear garden. The garden is a great place to relax and chill. And to hang out with the property's three very friendly cats.

We had a great time, and would definitely stay at VM again -- hopefully for a longer stay next time.

Charming villa with lovely garden

Silvio is a very gracious host and goes out of his way to be helpful. The villa is well appointed with large comfortable rooms, renovated private baths, and a lovely garden. The location is my idea of perfect: a quiet oasis in busy Trastevere within walking distance of the Tiber and many places of interest. My only suggestion would be to replace the silk plants with accessories that reflect the lovely garden and enhance the charm of the beautiful marble stairs.

Nice small villa hotel in silent area near attract

Very nice small hotel close to attractions and all nice Trastevere restaurants but still relaxed and silent area. Very nicely renovated old house. Of course there is no fancy bar or similar but a very cosy balcony and a nice garden to have breakfast in. Can recommend this place. Very helpful owner. Minor issue for us northern Europeans is the breakfast, typical Italian style with a toast and coffee plus some minor options. Still ok though.
