Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“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.

Lonely Planet review:

“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.’

A brilliant location for a stay in Rome

The hotel was beautiful, being a former convent, it has beautiful historical features throughout. The room was large and comfortable with a small balcony. The courtyard location in the centre of the hotel is a haven from bustling Rome with excellent food and beverages available. The view of Rome from the rooftop is hard to beat.

Excellent location, stunning accommodation, staff experience can vary

Stunning property. Excellent location in Trastevere with a fantastic choice of restaurants, cafes and bars just around the corner from the hotel. The garden in the hotel is really lovely and it is very special to have a drink there at night time or enjoy the lovely breakfast in the morning.

The staff member who predominantly looked after us during our stay (there are two people on reception) wasn’t very welcoming. For example: 1. when I asked for an iron, he said I could only have it at the exact time I was actually going to use it and had to return it as soon as I finished it; 2. when we asked for a bottle opener, he told us we had to take our bottle to the bar to be opened; 3. At the time I checked out he requested that we pay full accommodation when we had already paid booking.com and that had been noted at check-in. He made us wait as he looked after other guests to get it sorted and we felt the fact that we booked through booking.com meant we were less worthy; and 4. Of his own suggestion, he had volunteered a boxed breakfast for us for our early departure along with an early morning taxi (5am). There was no breakfast boxes provided that morning and it appeared as though the taxi booking had not been made either. I think we were just unlucky as the staff member who checked us in and sorted out our taxi on departure was fantastic but I think it is worth mentioning as you may have a 50% chance of sharing our experience and it did impact our stay.

I loved the fact that this hotel was a convent and renovated. Most importantly, you still had nuns still living there. they were not forced to leave.

I would like to individually wrap soap in the bathroom. Not a big deal.

A wonderful week exploring the delights of Rome

Location was great , easy walk to sites of Rome , spacious room with a comfortable bed , good water pressure in shower but short shower door on the bath meant water always sprayed out onto floor area , breakfast seclection very good . Roof top terrace was a big bonus and gave a fabulous view

Not being able to have breakfast in garden due to building works that we were not informed of at booking Construction noise in our balcony during refurbishment and noise from temporary bar right under our terrace put us off sitting there Reported faulty hairdryer to reception twice but wasn’t replaced Could have provided complimentary water in the room daily not just on first day Lack of cushions on roof top terrace furniture in the evening , only present in the morning for some reason Hotel resteraunt had no atmosphere , sterile and austere , was expecting to be seated in courtyard as weather was great for alfresco eating

An idyllic retreat in Rome which, with active management and better food, could be amazing

The location in Trastevere is amazing, the hotel gardens are an "oasis of calm", the staff try hard and the building is beautiful

Attention to detail could be improved. For example, at breakfast supplies ran out which would not have happened if a close eye had been kept. Value in the hotel restaurant Fiero et Fuoco was poor; the quality of the food did not justify the elevated prices charged.

It’s a stunning property, with so much history. There’s a chapel within, a Roman cave abd a roof terrace with fantastic views. The location is perfect being located at the top of the street but within a few minutes walk further down the street it’s buzzing at night! The staff were all excellent.

I liked everything about it. It was the perfect property.

Gorgeous Roman jewel tucked away on a quiet street

This property is stunning! I travel the world and have been to Italy and Rome several times. For the facilities, price and ambience this hotel is hard to beat. Also the location to walk to so many gorgeous little cafes and not a touristy area at all. Love!

Awesome!

This hotel is in a beautiful old cloister with a rooftop terrace with panoramic views of Rome. Situated in the Trastevere neighborhood which is a warren of winding cobblestone streets full of interesting restaurants, bars, cafes, and shops. The river has a walking path which turns into a street fair at night. You are a short walk from all the major sited: Teatro Marcellus, Piazza Nuvoni, the Colleseum, and Palatine Hill. Enjoy!

Very Enjoyable Stay

We were a group of 7 staying here and we all loved our stay! The building is absolutely charming and well kept. It gives you the ancient feeling but at the same time, it is renovated and very clean. The staff were very professional, helpful, and accommodating when we had a family emergency and had to make some last minute changes in our booking. The rooms were decent size and comfy with large bathrooms. Breakfast was great, and we really enjoyed having breakfast in the courtyard.

The windows are not sound proof so if the rooms are facing the courtyard, it could get somewhat noisy if there's an event going on in the courtyard, or in the morning when the breakfast starts. We had four rooms so we got to see the inside of different rooms and some of the rooms, especially the ones in the "newer" part of the building were not as nicely decorated and furnished inside, but they were much quieter and even larger in size.

This hotel is amazing and a real hidden gem!

We really felt like we had discovered a hidden gem. This hotel is amazing! It is a 17th-century converted convent with the Church still in service and nuns still residing in part of the building. The building has all of Rome's ancient charm on the outside but has been refurbished to the highest levels on the inside. based in the middle of the Travesteria area, it is a short walk to the bustling restaurant and bar area or an even shorter walk in the opposite direction to Gianicolo Hill and stunning views of all of Rome. The room was super comfortable with cool aircon in the stifling Rome heat of the day and an amazing continental breakfast in the hotel gardens was a lovely way to start the day. they also had a live jazz player in the evening and the staff's friendliness and service were exceptional. we had such a nice stay and can't wait to go back.

The Hotel was great!

High class but location less than ideal

The service was fantastic. It was on a beautiful building and the restaurant was superb. We were lucky to be staying on a Thursday where there was a saxophone player in the garden so we had a couple of drinks while listening to him before moving to the restaurant for supper.

Location is great for Vatican and surrounding areas but not ideal for accessing more central sites. Very clear that most people get taxis from the hotel to these.

Favorite hotel during our entire Italy trip.

Everything was amazing! It has absolutely stunning architecture and history of being a monastery. Rooftop views. They still have church service daily. The food at the restaurant was delicious! The room… beautiful! Quite large for a European hotel with a huge bathroom. AC worked very well in room. Rest of hotel is not as cool due to some of the doors being open but still comfortable. The location is a little further out but it did not inconvenient us. The staff were all so kind and helpful.

Location was not as close to tourist sites but it did not ruin our time. We would definitely stay here again.

The perfect place to relax in a full on sight seeing trip to Rome.

A really beautiful building and gardens with a fascinating history. Still three nuns who live in adjacent building. Absolutely charming manager, really warm and friendly staff who could not do enough to help and make our stay a complete pleasure.

Very little! Corridor to our rooms was a bit overheated but that is a minor quibble. The rooms were perfectly air conditioned.

Beautiful and comfortable

Breakfast in the small garden was perfect. The rooms were so comfortable (very comfortable bed, perfect temperature with AC despite the heat outside). And the building is incredible. We loved it.

Trastevere is a little outside of the city center and there is no easy public transportation - so if you are there to visit, you need to plan walking or taking cabs. It was easy to find cabs and nice to walk within the city - but this has to be taken into account.
