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!

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
