Palazzo Catalani Resort  

Set in the medieval hilltop village of Soriano nel Cimino, about an hour north of Rome, Palazzo Catalani hides inside a 17th‑century estate with manicured gardens. Wander the historic center on foot — you’re a short stroll from Palazzo Chigi‑Albani and Castello Orsini, and within easy driving distance of Lake Vico Nature Reserve, Viterbo and Rome sights such as the Vatican Museums, Villa Borghese and Piazza del Popolo. Family-friendly apartments make this a roomy base for exploring the countryside and nearby heritage sites.

Once a noble residence, the property offers individually styled apartments with original frescoes and wood‑beamed ceilings. Many units include a kitchenette (hob, microwave, toaster, kettle, coffee machine), private bathroom with bath or shower, heated towel rail and hairdryer; some open onto a patio. The resort sits on a hillside — expect charming village steps and a porter service for luggage; wheelchair‑accessible rooms are limited. Pets are not permitted except service animals.

Soak in an outdoor pool, unwind at the spa (sauna and whirlpool available for an extra charge) or keep up with workouts in the fitness centre. Free Wi‑Fi runs across the property, and extras include a library, arcade/game room, concierge and tour desk. Onsite conveniences cover laundry, ironing, car rental assistance, a safe and free self‑parking (note: due to the hillside location you may be asked to park lower on Via Montecavallo and use porter assistance during set hours).

Complimentary wireless internet and a computer station keep you connected. The aparthotel also offers express check‑out and a 24‑hour front desk for arrivals and assistance.

The on‑site restaurant serves Italian and international cuisine and boasts an extensive wine cellar — expect regional flavors and classic dishes. There’s a bar/lounge and room service, plus a light continental breakfast with bakery items, salads, fresh fruit and hot or cold drinks. Local shops and supermarkets are a short walk away for self‑catered meals.
