Forbes Travel Guide 4 Stars
"Rome is not exactly known for relaxation, but guests at Gran Meliá Rome Villa Agrippina will have ample opportunity to do just that." Full review
Fodor's "The Gran Melia Rome bills itself as an urban resort, set inside the 19th century Villa Agrippina and surrounded by gardens." Full review
Michelin Guide "Given the sheer size of the Gran Meliá Rome, a hotel whose gardens and lawns and imposing façades are impressively out of scale with its mere 116 rooms, it’s remarkable that it occupies such prime real estate" Full review
