Find the Cheap Rieti Hotels

Stayed 5 nights in a junior suite (Room 304) that faced the back gardens. My husband and I were in Rieti for work and our coworkers suggested this hotel. Finding the driveway the first time around took a couple attempts because it’s located a few feet from a busy intersection and can be a difficult turn depending on which direction you are coming from. The road up to the hotel is narrow, not well paved in certain parts and pretty steep. I’m glad I wasn’t in charge of driving because you have to squeeze by the other car when passing. Luckily we would only encounter 1 or 2 cars each time. I worked remotely from the hotel (strong wifi!) and walked to town a couple times. Walking down the hill isn’t bad, it took me about 16 minutes to get all the way down to the main street but walking up is rough and I don’t recommend unless you are in great shape. There aren’t any taxis in Rieti but you can ask the front desk for the number for a driver to arrange a ride to/from the hotel. The building is an old family villa turned into a hotel which adds to the charm. The hotel restaurant is generally only open for dinner and their food is very tasty - we ate there 3 times during our stay. Breakfast is pretty basic - pastries, cheese, cured meats, yogurt, bread, sweets and coffee/cappuccino. The hotel seemed only half or less full when we were there which meant we got great service from the front desk and restaurant staff. Our room was large with a double bed, a small desk with TV on top and a chair, a loveseat, dresser and closet with tiny mini fridge and safe. The bathroom was a decent size with a small shower but ample counter space. My only complaint about the room was that the pillows seemed old and very flat. Unfortunately during our stay the weather wasn’t great (it rained for a few hours almost every day) so the pool hadn’t opened up yet and there were a decent number of mosquitoes around (I got 4 bites and my husband got 1). Nevertheless, we enjoyed our stay and felt well taken care of by the staff at the Villa Potenziani and would recommend this hotel.
