Villa Flora hotel property just a franchise with Marriott. Marriott does not have the direct management of this hotel. Rooms are available for points only at the last moment. Furthermore, from November 16, 2009 since the other Marriott hotels in Italy (Isle of Capri) of the same property, this hotel probably will not use most of the Marriott brand.
To stay in Rome in the summer, I would suggest rather the Marriott Park Hotel, between downtown and the airport, well connected with excellent shuttle service to the city center. Rooms lussuore, SPA excellent, large swimming pool
