Lounge at Fiumicino Airport

[HarveyK]

I will be flying Boston to Rome, on Sept. 1, and have a 5+ hour layover at Fiumicino on Sept. 1, before my flight to Venice. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the airport lounges there. I would like to shower and freshen up and have a quiet place to relax. I'm flying Alitalia, so I can buy a day pass to their lounge, but heard there may be better ones.

Have you looked on flyertalk.com? There's always lots of lounge talk on there.

We have used the Alitalia Casa Giotto lounge in the past and found it very comfortable and with a good selection of food and beverage items. I see that his lounge has now closed and been replaced by the Casa Italiana lounge, so an upgrade in services and amenities would be possible in the new configuration.

Check out this thread on Hello Sky at FCO. My daughter used it last April and gave it thumbs up.

Yes, I highly recommend Hello Sky at FCO. I spent the night there.

I can't say enough good things about my little single room (I included photos in the thread the @Penn251 links to above).

The only thing really lacking is a full-service restaurant. The dining area is fine for breakfast and small things, but don't expect a hardy meal, nor the big buffet of an airline lounge like American or British Airways.
