Tuve el privilegio de pasar con mis hijos nuestras vacaciones de Navidad-2011 en REFUGIO ROMANO y vivimos la mágica experiencia de estar en un lugar donde la Calidad, la Calidez y la Excelencia se conjugan perfectamente bajo la atención personalizada de Lucio y Mayra, Maestros de la Hospitalidad. REFUGIO ROMANO es, sin duda alguna, la mejor opción para llegar a... More

I spent three nights with mi lawyer colombian girlfriend and really we enjoyed the time over there. Since the booking, Mayra, the chilanga who owns the place with Lucio, her italian husband, was very fast in answering mails and phone calls. Lucio, the chef, served us meals in our own room (the big one —the Grey), home made bread, pizza,... More

My wife and I loved this place! The rooms are beautiful, but the best part for us was Lucio's unbelievable Italian dishes. You should definitely eat dinner here when you come! The owners are very cool and made us feel right at home. They have good internet and great beds and mattresses. We loved the views of both the town... More

The Refugio is high above the entrance to Real at the end of a hard climb to the top of a dusty street. The views are magnificent ,both from the roof and the gardens, and in some cases from the rooms. On a moonlit night it is magical. As is the case in many towns like Real, I find that... More

This is a great Hotel, it may not seem like it from the outside but it's very confortable, the rooms are very clean and spacious, and the view from the hotel is amaizing. The owner cooks like a true chef, you must try the italian food. If you are thinking of going to Real de Catorce, "Refugio Romano" is the... More

Refugio Romano would be classified as a bed-and-breakfast if breakfasts were included in the room rate. (Meals are available for purchase.) This small and attractive property has only three guest rooms, the orange, grey, and blue rooms. The rest of the property consists of appealing common areas, a kitchen/dining room, and the owners' residence. Traveling with my trophy wife and... More
