Restaurants and Bars
Il Fiore D’Arancio Restaurant is the hotel’s elegant dining space, serving a mix of international dishes and classic Italian and Roman specialities for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Expect good coffee, fresh pastries and cold cuts in the morning, and seasonal pasta, meat and fish later in the day.
A cosy Lobby Bar opens from late afternoon into the evening (typically 5.00pm–10.00pm), ideal for a pre-dinner aperitivo or a nightcap back at the villa after exploring Rome’s trattorias. In the warmer months, food and drinks can often be enjoyed on the garden terrace for a more atmospheric experience.
A smart-casual dress code may apply at dinner. Reservations and supplements can vary by season and board basis; details are confirmed locally.
Pool Areas and Beach
There is no swimming pool or beach at Hotel Degli Aranci – this is a classic Roman city villa rather than a resort-style property. Instead, the focus is on leafy outdoor spaces: a peaceful garden shaded by orange and oak trees and a summer terrace where you can linger over breakfast, relax with a drink or catch up with your guidebook between sightseeing trips.
For a taste of blue and green, Villa Borghese’s boating lake and panoramic Pincio Terrace are within easy reach, and day trips to the coast (such as Ostia or Fregene) are possible by public transport if you’d like to combine your city break with a few hours by the sea.
Spa, Sports and Other Facilities
Stay on top of your routine in the small but well-equipped, air-conditioned gym, fitted with cardio machines and a free weights area. It typically opens daily from early morning until evening (around 7.00am–9.00pm) between late February and the end of October, though hours may vary.
For post-sightseeing relaxation, head to the compact spa corner with sauna and a menu of massage treatments (extra charge, minimum age usually 14 years). Opening times are generally 8.30am–8.30pm in season, subject to occupancy.
Other useful facilities include:
• 24-hour reception with multilingual team
• Concierge services for restaurant reservations, taxis and tickets
• Currency exchange (charge may apply)
• Luggage storage – ideal if you’re arriving early or leaving late
• Motorised scooter charging (local cost)
• Access to English-language newspapers (extra cost)
Overall, it’s a city-focused property that gives you enough wellness and fitness options to unwind without distracting from why you’re really here: Rome itself.

FAQs | Hotel Degli Aranci
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Hotel Degli Aranci in a central location for sightseeing?
Hotel Degli Aranci is not in the very heart of the old town, but in the nearby Parioli district, which is quieter and more residential. From the hotel you can reach Villa Borghese in about 1.4km, then continue on foot towards Via Veneto, the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain (around 3–3.5km away in total), or use the bus stop 280m away to shorten the journey.
2. What is the typical transfer time from Rome Fiumicino Airport?
Transfer times vary with traffic and your chosen transfer type, but as a guide it usually takes around 45–60 minutes by car or pre-booked transfer from Rome Fiumicino (FCO) to Hotel Degli Aranci. Shared coach transfers may take a little longer depending on hotel drops.
3. Does the hotel have a swimming pool?
No, Hotel Degli Aranci does not have a pool. Instead, it offers a peaceful garden with a summer terrace, a small spa area with sauna and massage treatments, and a gym. It’s designed as a classic city hotel where you’ll spend much of your time exploring Rome, then relaxing back at the villa-style property.
4. Is breakfast included at Hotel Degli Aranci?
Yes, stays at Hotel Degli Aranci are typically on a Bed and Breakfast basis. Breakfast is usually served in the main Il Fiore D’Arancio Restaurant, with a selection of continental and international options. Lunch and dinner are available à la carte at an extra cost if you prefer to dine in.
5. Are there facilities for children?
Children are welcome and Triple Rooms can sleep up to three guests, but there are no dedicated children’s facilities such as a playroom, kids’ club or children’s pool. The hotel suits couples, solo travellers and older families who are happy with a quieter, more grown-up style of stay while using the city’s many parks and attractions to entertain younger ones.
6. Is there parking available at Hotel Degli Aranci?
On-site and nearby parking options in Rome can be limited and may carry an extra charge. If you’re planning to hire a car, it’s best to check the latest parking arrangements and costs with the hotel or your Travelisto specialist before you travel, and consider whether you really need a vehicle for a Rome city break given the extensive public transport and taxi options.
7. Does the hotel cater for special dietary requirements?
The restaurant serves a mix of Italian and international dishes and can often adapt some items for common dietary requirements such as vegetarian, gluten-free or lactose-free options. However, choices may be more limited than in large resort hotels. We recommend mentioning any dietary needs at the time of booking and reminding the hotel on arrival.
