House SottoCoperta

We stayed at House Sottocoperta the night before our cruise and can thoroughly recommend it. It’s a three bedroom house in the centre of Civitavecchia with a self service breakfast in the kitchen area. The B&B is very clean and well appointed. It’s a good location with lots of eating options close by. You can easily walk to the cruise port to pick up the port bus to your ship. We found the owners helpful and accommodating, even arranging a taxi from the airport. Would be happy to stay again.

The hosts speak broken English so communication at times was challenging as I don't speak a word of Italian (this is my fault too, sorry.) We also asked the host to collect us from Civitaveccia port, cruise terminal and this was very stressful as the man he sent was shouting at me, was very rude and this was a stressful experience. I am not sure where the line is drawn in terms of a difference in British and Italian culture but the taxi driver and host Massimo were a little "too direct" at times. I think this was due to being stressed and us all struggling to communicate but the overall experience was very good, this w as only a small negative part of it. Very nice, very clean room. Very nice kitchen area. Very good bathroom and showering facilities. The host was helpful and drove gave us a private transfer to the airport the next morning (paid service to Ciampino).
