Carpediem Roma Golf Club

“Carpediem always on my mind!”

I am not used to travelling for business, but when I do I try to make the best choice. Well I can also say that this time I nailed it! The location is amazing, for me who live in the flat and sad suburbs of southern Milan, getting up in the morning, looking out of the window and being able to see the rolling hills around Rome makes all the difference. As for the flats, I can only speak highly of them: well-kept, clean and smelling good. Every evening, on my return from the capital, when I opened the front door I was greeted by a pleasant fragrance that immediately made you feel at home. The bed with its 4 soft pillows ensures a sleep worthy of Morpheus and the linen and cleaning service is faultless. As promised, I would also like to say a few words about the hotel restaurant and its cuisine. When you reach the top of a couple of flights of stairs, the atmosphere changes completely from the floor below, lounge music in the background, soft lighting and a lady who is as kind as she is gracious, who welcomes you and escorts you to your chosen table. During my short stay, I had the opportunity to taste a few dishes from the kitchen, but I can guarantee that you will never forget them. If I close my eyes, a few days later, I can still smell and taste them. Simple dishes skilfully prepared by the chef, with whom I also had the opportunity to chat for a brief moment: a very nice person with a philosophy dedicated to the care and culinary pleasure of the guest (see the generous portions of the dishes, I just hope it doesn't change ;-P ). So, in a nutshell, if you want to eat WELL with good value for money, land here and be pampered by the whole staff! I don't know if I'll be able to return to Rome, but if I do, I'll know where to stay!!! Greetings Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

“Average stay”

If you want to go and have peace and quiet and just play golf might be worth it. If you want to have some entertainment - not recommended.

If you want to go and have peace and quiet and just play golf might be worth it. If you want to have some entertainment - not recommended. No gym or indoor/outdoor pool available, TV has only Italian language channels, you're not allowed to install Netflix or anything else. The caffe machine has no capsules and nor can you find any to buy. It's clean, comfortable - but average.

“Good for Sleeping”

We didn't expect a lot as we've traveled to Europe before so we knew how run down most of RCI's European resorts were. This, however, was the worst so far. Good enough to sleep in, but not much else.

We didn't expect a lot as we've traveled to Europe before so we knew how run down most of RCI's European resorts were. This, however, was the worst so far. Good enough to sleep in, but not much else. Staff was not forward about breakfast policies so it led to judgment by breakfast employees who expected us to know policy and procedure. Check-in was slow but they got us in early, I'll give them that. The manager basically yelled at me when I didn't want to do the elevator and told me I had to to get to a 2nd floor room. I didn't; I used the stairs. Food at the restaurant the first night was good. The second time not so much - waitress walked away mid-order a few times, we were told they were out of all sorts of wine though we could see bottle after bottle, our mains took 1.5 hours to get to the table when we were the only ones there and were inedible when we tried them, only two songs were played on a loop, and our order was painfully wrong, drink-wise. In addition, the sleeps 6 shown on the website showed 2 of the rooms with twin double beds. We got there and all 3 bedrooms had full beds, which meant we had to rearrange our younger children's sleeping areas (fun). The upstairs tub is dangerous, too as no one should be climbing in anything that high. WAY outside of Rome (30 minutes), so get a car. No amenities in working order. Only 1 laundry machine and dryer for the whole of the resort. Beautiful grounds, but very unkempt. I feel like an investment in maintenance of the property could definitely make it a 4 star resort.
