Museum Guest House

An absolute gem! This is a review of the Museum Guest house property, but before I get in to the details of the property itself I must first give praise and thanks to Francesco – you can not ask for a nicer or more helpful host. Once booked Francesco was in contact to make sure any questions I may have were answered. As the date of my visit approached, once again Francesco reached out and was very welcoming and helpful. We arrived in Civitavecchia and went looking for the property. There is no big sign to introduce you to the location, but it is easy to find. We asked at a nearby little restaurant if they could direct us to “The Museum Guest House”, and the reaction was a big smile - “oh, Francesco’s place!” – and they enthusiastically guided us there. Clearly our host is well liked in the community, and for good reason. When we met Francesco he went over the details of the property, and showed us our room. The room was absolutely spotless. Despite this being an old building with all the charm and patina that comes with it, the Museum Guest house itself was pristine. Everything sparkled, the floors were dust free, the linens crisp and clean. Absolutely nothing to criticize – well above average. We enjoyed the time in Civitavecchia, a charming community feeling that you won’t get if you stay in Rome. This was the perfect home base before our cruise. Very walkable, great people, and quick and inexpensive train in to Rome a short walk away. Look forward to our next stay – A

A really unique kind of guesthouse on the 2nd floor of a nice historic building. Although on a busy road, the sound insulation was top notch and with the window closed we could hear nothing from the bustling street below. We informed the owner Francesco that we were vegan before arriving and he went above and beyond to cater to our needs. We were very grateful for his kind and impeccable attention to detail. This is a perfect location to stay before taking a cruise from the nearby port which is a very short walk away. We will definitely be back!

The host went out of his way to meet us and check us in after we arrived late at night. He also gave a s great directions to a shuttle bus to get to our cruise ship. The best part of the room was the soundproofing! We slept in a room near a street and did not hear anything. Great room for one night for cruisers.

Excellent guest house. Nice shops & restaurants along street the hotel is located. Francesca is a great host very friendly & helpful. Very clean room & quiet. Would recommend to anyone.

It is not possible to have a cleaner room than this one. There are beautiful marble floors, pristine and modern bathroom, and table and fridge with varied beverages and snacks included in the price. Francesco is also an excellent host, explaining everything in detail and patiently answering any questions. If I am ever in Civitavecchia again, this will be my abode of choice!

The owner Francesco and his wife couldn’t have been more nice and helpful. The location was walkable to the train station and to the cruise port. I will definitely stay here again.

The Museum Guest House was perfect for us. We had two days between cruises and decided to stay in Civitavecchia rather than go back into Rome. Francesco was so friendly and helpful. And we loved our room. The location was great. We had a short 8 minute walk to the stop for the free shuttle bus to our ship. Close to great restaurants and the town’s waterfront. If we cruise from Civitavecchia again, we will definitely stay here.

We stayed at the Museum Guest House overnight before our transatlantic cruise back to Florida. The location was perfect. We had easy access to the free shuttle to the cruise port. Francisco and Monica were amazing in explaining what we needed to have a great stay and how to navigate the area.
