Lucky you KLouis! Sounds like a glorious place to live. I am happy to know the hotel is in a nice and convenient area.
JBD, I looked at booking.com as well--I like your idea of translating other languages. I will try that. It concerns me when the reviews are only from one country's perspective. Thank you for that tip and for providing more information about the hotel,
I have booked the Albergo also(with ability to cancel), but as you say, it is really close to the Pantheon/crowds. The rate is pretty much the same between the hotels--around $1200 (give or take a little) for 3 nights/standard room/breakfast.
Again, thank you both for responding. I have just recently been a FT lurker--so much good info.
