B&B Nonna Luisa, is located in a nice suburban neighborhood, below the city center-where a staircase can take you up to an approach to the city center(details later). Elisa our hostess has a good command of English and loves to converse with her guests. She is one of the very few hosts we have encountered, who actually lives at the B&B she runs. Elisa is extremely knowledgeable of the surrounding area, cities within striking distance and popular destinations throughout Italy. We enjoyed the abundant, traditional, sweet Italian style breakfast, plus yogurt. Our room was well proportioned, clean, with a comfortable bed. Elisa equipped us with an extra luggage stand to complete our needs. We felt like were staying with real Italian family! Back to the directions to and from town: A few steps from her house, Luisa will show you how to get to the city center, by way of a staircase leading up to a road (nice shortcut). First before you proceed up the hill, note white stripes of the crosswalk on the street. Follow road to the top of hill. See the tower ahead and take crosswalk, (pass tower on your left) go left under the arch into the city center. On the way back, pass tower on your right, take crosswalk. Almost in front of you will be Namo Rostobottega (restaurant), take the second street on your left of Namo (not the one that goes down the hill next to Namo.) OK good, now the street’s name back to B&B is Via della Gaballetta, follow this until you notice green, metal fencing along the street on the right, staircase is coming up at the crosswalk marked on the road, turn right onto staircase, descend follow gravel path and hang a right, then you should find the B&B.

The stairs inside leading to our room, needs a light to be turned on at top or bottom to navigate. Also the stairs need a mark of some kind to indicate and abrupt change in direction, and shape. The bathroom needs a little more sympathetic lighting, to match the warmer lighting in the bedroom.

I absolutely loved my first night in Tarquinia, Italy at B&B Nonna Luisa. The room and bathroom was spotlessly clean. Excellent value for money. Location was great near the old town. Hostess Elisa was very sociable and friendly. She spoke a very good English and even took me for a walk in the old town. Her mother didn't speak English, but we used translator and hands. She invited me for an aunthentic Italian breakfast before my leave. Loved the experience! I highly recommend if you are on a road trip and look for an inexpensive stay along your way to Tuscany from the Rome airport. And Tarquinia alone is worth to visit one day as it is a former Etruscan necropolis. Lots of history, events and museums. The old town is very beautiful and landscape around it breathtaking. The town even smelled good with bakery and flower scents, and sounded great as birds were singing everywhere! Amazing fast-flying blackbirds crowned the experience. They were everywhere. Gotta love those little birds!

Nothing comes to my mind. Everything was great!

A charming, clean place only a 6-8 minute walk to the historical center. The hosts went out of their way to prepare breakfasts, assist us with restaurant and touring recommendations, organize an English-speaking guide, and inform us about Tarquinia. Very welcoming and friendly!

Excellent hosts, Elisa and Maria. Breakfasts were so tasty, prepared and presented with pleasure to us. Elisa and Maria were so helpful in providing places to visit, where to eat, setting up a taxi for us. Great location.
