The 14-room Villa Teresa is a rustic, country-style property where guests will get what they pay for. This value hotel is best for travelers passing by on either of the nearby freeways, or budget-minded guests with their own transportation. Located a 30-minute drive outside of Rome, this slightly neglected spot has sparse but comfortable rooms with shower-only bathrooms and small flat-screen TVs. Some rooms also have pleasant terraces. A basic breakfast is available for a small fee and there is a simple bar for drinks. There's not much in the area, although a bus stops just outside the property for relatively convenient travel into the city. Those who can swing twice the price (which still isn't much), will find contemporary rooms, a restaurant, and slightly closer proximity to the center of Rome at the Best Western Plus Art Hotel Noba.

Scene
A very basic value property with slight signs of neglect
For a one-and-a-half-pearl property, the Villa Teresa offers no surprises: we can only say that you get what you pay for. This low budget property has the feel and decor of a rustic country house, and there are signs of neglect throughout the property. Still, the brick building has some charm thanks to green shutters, wrought iron on the front door, and clay pots filled with plants. A stone patio with plastic furniture offers a pleasant enough spot to relax. However, there's no real common space inside. This is not a place to hang out, but rather a place to rest for those on tight budgets. Many previous guests agree that the Villa Teresa is fine for a night or so, but warn not to expect anything extra. Because of the hotel's location, it draws many travelers passing through on the highway. It's also a practical option for those who don't plan on heading into the city center much. The surrounding area is stark and industrial with only a deli and one evening restaurant nearby. Many guests have commented on spotting prostitutes outside the property.
Location
Located far from the city center; best for those with their own transportation
Despite what the hotel's website may claim, Villa Teresa is quite far from the city center. It's about 30 minutes by car to central Rome, or 35 to 50 minutes via a combination of bus (number 135) and metro. There is an outdoor parking lot for guests who have their own transportation and the hotel itself is located off the Via Salaria highway. As such, guests with cars will get the most value out of this property, and all guests should expect to hear some traffic noise. Taking the fastest route of A90 and A91, Leonardo da Vinci International Airport is a 25-minute drive from the hotel. As an alternative, guests can jump on a bus, and then a metro, and then another bus to reach the airport in about 90 minutes. The quickest journey to Ciampino Airport is via A90 and also takes about 25 minutes.
Rooms
Small but comfortable rooms with wear and tear and mini-fridges; some with outdoor terraces
Rooms at Villa Teresa are basic and homey with sun-yellow walls, tile floors, and floral-patterned bedspreads and curtains. The simple wood furniture in each room includes a desk, an armoire with a safe inside, and nightstands. There are some nice touches, such as hanging mirrors and wrought-iron bed frames. All rooms also have small flat-screen TVs (with no English channels), air-conditioning, and mini-fridges for storing drinks and snacks. Triple Rooms have a double bed and two single beds, while Superior Rooms have one double bed and a furnished patio area. Due to low-wattage wall lights, most rooms are dim unless the drapes are pulled back. Bathrooms are tiled and have tiny stall showers, bidets, and dated tube hairdryers. Some guests have found that the free Wi-Fi frequently disconnects. Guests can expect to find some visible wear and tear in the rooms.
Features
Free Wi-Fi and parking, a simple breakfast, plus a pricey hotel shuttle
Villa Teresa is a budget property with sparse features. There is free Wi-Fi in rooms and in the lobby. Outdoor parking is also free, though the lot is awkwardly angled and can be tricky to get to. A basic continental breakfast of espresso drinks, dry cereal, and pastries is included in some room rates, and is served in the breakfast room. There is also a bar area that sometimes serves beverages. For about double the price of a cab, guests can take a hotel shuttle into the center of Rome. The Villa Teresa is pet-friendly.
