Donna Camilla Savelli, Rome
Expert reviews
“Donna Camilla Savelli, in a quiet corner of Trastevere, has 78 rooms housed in a Baroque monastery with a grand staircase, courtyard garden and lots of Old World charm.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Rome.
“It’s seldom you can stay in a 16th-century convent designed by baroque genius Borromini. This four-star hotel is exquisitely appointed – muted colours complement the serene concave and convex curves of the architecture – and service is excellent. The best rooms overlook the cloister garden or have views of Rome.’

Donna Camila Savelli is a oasis in Roma Trastevere. Great location, rooms are very nice, staff is great, breakfast is well served with many options. Hotel has a panoramic terrazza that is amazing. I really recomend the hotel.

The history, ambience and welcome by all staff was delightful.
Position access to city across river, ambiance of the village . Restaurants nearby and a short walk to spectacular views over Rome city plus viaduct waterfall stunning.

Very enjoyable stay, a refuge in a busy city. Wonderful
Beautiful hotel, excellent location. Front of house staff were excellent and helped with a few things. Thank you.
A staff member at the breakfast room was rather abrupt and several guests were uncomfortable with her attitude (hopefully just a bad day).

Excellent choice to see the sights of Rome, with great staff that help make this hotel a superb choice.
Great staff and a calm oasis after a busy day in Rome. Distinctive architecture and a relaxing enclosed garden, ideal for an end of day drink and chill.

A bit beyond what I normally pay for hotels but this was delightful.
The room was difficult to navigate -- particularly the bed area -- I kept bumping into things as there was hardly any space to walk around the bed and the TV wall to the "other" side of the bed. This was a problem because the USB ports did NOT work in the wall on the more accessible side of the bed. The bathroom was very nice. There weren't any "cottons" or things like that...and no wash cloth for the shower. Only 1 towel.
a longer stay.......complimentary aperativo in garden. The music on Tuesday evening in the garden was very loud...not conducive to relaxation. The arrangement for car to meet me at the airport was not handled well. I waited for 30+ minutes, did not receive first message from hotel about delay (but driver said it was a mess up at the hotel) - it was cash only for the car, which I did not expect. And driver had a van -- for one person. That wasn't a good way to begin what I thought would be a perfect stay...got better but that left a sour taste for me.

Beautiful hotel, vibrant area lovely restaurants. Rooftop stunning view.
Trastevere is an amazing area very beautiful a little out of the bussling city but easy to walk to the colussum and forum . Lovely rooms beautiful old monestery and garden to relax in . Just stunning ,!

Pretty downstairs
The building itself was gorgeous! The grounds, garden, were also beautiful.
We paid a lot for a small room. The ambience of the entryway, the high ceilings and the arches and the beautiful hallways weren’t really reflected in the room that we stayed in. Also, we didn’t opt for the additional cost of breakfast. It would have been more acceptable if breakfast was included. We later stayed at a b & b that was amazing, included breakfast, in the same area & less expensive.

Such a beautiful hotel - restful after active days in the city.
Perfect location for me - very quiet but close to restaurants, etc. The room was lovely and had everything needed, including a delicious assortment of snacks (for purchase). High marks for cleanliness. What appealed me to most was the gorgeous architecture, garden and bar - inventive use of space and the decor was magazine-worthy. I never write reviews, but Donna Camilla Savelli is the best!
Some people may have trouble with the stairs in some areas.

Great stay. Would definitely look to stay there again.
Great location in Trastevere. Beautiful hotel and grounds; terrific staff and service, and excellent dining/food. Terrific bar area and excellent service there. Concierge provided great suggestions for local restaurants and followed through with reservations.
Minor. Several units were in the adjacent complex, where you had to walk around the complex to enter the hotel lobby.

Excellent hotel in Rome within walking distance of all Rome sites
Beautiful old building that used to be a convent. Good location: close enough to walk to everything but in a much quieter part of Trastevere
Lack of shower (bath tub with hand-held) was less than ideal

Wonderful hotel in great area
Absolutely fantastic hotel. Wonderful room, charming staff, quiet except on road side, stunning building, restaurant top quality, breakfast is in the convent refectory, also fantastic. Charming courtyard garden. Full of birds as near botanical garden. Can’t fault it. It’s nice being out of the hustle and bustle of trastevere and yet only 5 minutes walk away. Glorious views over the city from roof terrace

Impressive hotel: clean, great location and views
This hotel offers an impressive experience. The property is exceptionally clean and meticulously maintained throughout. The staff are helpful and friendly, and the location is truly excellent. A particular highlight is the rooftop with its amazing views, and the beautiful garden provides a delightful setting for drinks or a meal. My only minor point is that my room was situated in a separate structure, making the walk back to the lobby slightly inconvenient.

I highly recommend this hidden gem.
The hotel is absolutely beautiful, it's spotless with comfortable beds and the staff are very friendly, welcoming and helpful. I loved the attention to detail, for example, the complimentary nibbles with drinks, tea/coffee. The location was great with surrounding restaurants/bars. Any of the sights were just a taxi ride away, which the receptionist can help you with. I would highly recommend this hotel and would definitely return in the near future.
I loved everything, nothing negative to report.

A very relaxing stay in a beautiful hotel.
The staff are very friendly and attentive, the main building and Garden are beautiful, and the bedrooms very comfortable. It’s a lovely place to stay, not our first visit and we expect to return.
Our rooms were in the annex and occasionally we had trouble getting in from the street entrance with calls unanswered.
