Donna Camilla Savelli, Rome

Having daily mass and open chapel for adoration was special!

Ubication, details, attention

The breakfast: i hoped more products especially in the side “non sweet or salty” for me doesnt cost the money

Close to all Rome’s attractions Excellent breakfast with a beautiful garden setting Very attentive staff

temperature control in the room was a challenge

Excellent location and wonderful facilities set in a converted convent. Close to restaurants and tourist locations. Beautiful garden and friendly staff. The roof top garden is amazing

Nothing

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this charming hotel in Rome. The property itself is gorgeous, full of character, and beautifully maintained — it truly feels like a hidden gem. The staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to help with anything, offering warm service that made the whole experience even more special. Special thanks to Matteo, Marco and Alberta at the reception and Benedetta from the breakfast service team who were so kind and helpful. Breakfast was delicious every single morning, with plenty of fresh options. We also loved the hotel’s location: perfectly tucked away from the chaos and crowds, offering peace and quiet, yet still within comfortable walking distance of Rome’s main sights. It was the ideal balance between relaxation and sightseeing. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Highly recommend!

Clean, safe hotel. The staff, without exception, was great. Helpful and proactive.

Since it is in Trastevere … one must walk to find the local bus.

Gorgeous property with nice staff and close to everything

Room was a bit bland and tv remote didn’t work

The location was spot-on. So close to the major sites yet it was quiet and calm. Beautiful hotel and garden. Lovely terrace overlooking Rome. The staff were friendly and helpful. A taxi rank was 2 minutes away. The walk into the heart of Trastevere was literally a few minutes. Oh and the hotel smells divine! Lovely toiletries too. Loved it all!

The bar prices were more expensive than anticipated - 46 euros for 2 g&ts. However drinking them on the terrace watching the sun set was a magical experience.

Incredible location and building, so much history and beauty. Couldn't recommended staying here enough

It was very pricey, especially the drinks and food but the cocktails were top quality.

Our stay at Donna Camilla Savelli – VRetreats was nothing short of magical. This former 17th-century convent has been transformed into a serene, elegant retreat that feels worlds away from the chaos of Rome, yet sits just steps from the charm of Trastevere’s cobblestone streets and lively piazzas. The atmosphere is absolutely unique — vaulted ceilings, quiet courtyards, and a beautiful on-site chapel that still carries a sense of calm and history. We especially loved the peaceful garden and the breathtaking rooftop terrace overlooking the city at sunset. Our room was spotless, spacious, and filled with character — the perfect balance between old-world charm and modern comfort. The breakfast spread was lovely, with fresh pastries, fruits, and excellent cappuccino enjoyed under the ancient arches. Every staff member we met was warm, helpful, and genuinely caring — their hospitality made us feel at home. If you’re looking for a hotel that blends history, tranquility, and authentic Roman atmosphere, Donna Camilla Savelli is a true hidden gem. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else in Rome.

Absolutely nothing — everything about this hotel exceeded my expectations.

Loved the location, staff, large room!

Expensive breakfast

Donna Camilla Savelli is a beautiful and unique hotel, with a lovely garden, great food, and an excellent rooftop view. The entire team is kind and genuinely enthusiastic about making your stay perfect — from Simona at reception, through the friendly waitress, to Daniel, the sommelier, who guided us through a delightful wine tasting accompanied by wonderful dishes from the hotel’s Elementa restaurant. We would love to come back and visit again.

I loved the breakfast and the staff was wonderful. The garden area was such a cool vibe & the hotel was walking distance to a bunch of restaurants and bars.

Room and location looking into garden is gorgeous. All staff is wonderful and helpful. Fantastic room and clean and more spacious than I thought!

BREAKFAST: The breakfast was very good! There were fresh pastries, eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, yogurt and fruit, cold cuts and cheese, toast, etc... It included a small selection of gluten-free items and good coffee. They even had vegan croissants! There was a beautiful courtyard where you could enjoy your breakfast, although it was a little chilly when we were there, so we ate inside. ROOM: Our room (executive double), featured a comfy king-sized bed, attractive decor, and it was clean. We loved having an espresso maker in our room, a bottle of water, and a cute pumpkin cookie. The toiletries smelled nice. I had requested a bottle of distilled water before our arrival, and they came through! The blackout curtains were effective at keeping out light. LOCATION: Convenient location in Trastevere, lots of restaurants near by. A short walk up the hill, past the historic convent, has stunning views of Rome!

Our room met our needs, but it had a few issues. LOCATION: The location of our room was quite noisy at night, as it backed onto a street (a close view from our windows of the apartment building next door). It was the weekend, so quite a bit of loud talking into the early morning hours. If you are a light sleeper, bring ear plugs or ask for a room that faces one of the courtyards. Getting to our room was a little bit of a maze, but we figured it out by the second day after taking the long way to the front desk. On departure day, we had to carry our bags down one flight of stairs as there wasn't an elevator on our floor. One could call the front desk for assistance if this was an issue. FUNCTION: The TV in our room wouldn't pair with our phone, or hook up to Roku, so we couldn't watch Netflix. The hotel staff tried to resolve the TV issue, but were unsuccessful. The tub was very deep, so people with mobility issues would find it challenging to get in and out (also the floor of the tub was chipped and rather slippery). The rugs next to the bed slipped around on the floor, so again, not ideal for people with mobility/balance issues. Adding a anti-slip mat under the rug would resolve this issue. COSMETIC: Lastly, a few cosmetic issues with chipped paint, especially around the door frame to the bathroom.

Everything! Would definitely recommend this hotel.

It’s history and service

Can be a bit noisy , coming from the street during the night and early morning.

Breakfast was very good!

We were there early and couldn’t check-in so spent a lot of time waiting around. Staff was much friendly during check-out than check-in

Beautiful property that was once a convent. There are still active nuns living on premises. Charming grounds in the middle of the property and incredible views of Rome from the roof top deck!

Good menu was a little limited but what they did offer was very good. Lots of local eating establishments within short walking distance.

The garden was gorgeous to sit in. The location was away from the noise and hubub, but near enough to walk into quickly. The hotel is atmospheric. Buffet breakfast was good with plenty of choice. Staff were friendly and helpful.

The room was very near the buffet, so disturbed each day by buffet set up. It was expensive and I still quite decide if it was really worth it, when you added on the Rome tourism tax and tip for the team.

The property was absolutely stunning. So beautiful and really kept the integrity of the convent while still making it a luxurious experience.

Had a hard time connecting to wifi in the room but everything else was spectacular.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of Rome you walk inside to a gorgeous and serene atmosphere where there are many places to relax and enjoy rooftop views or garden tranquility.

Our room had a difficult way to get inside the main part of the hotel or you have to go around the street. If you want a room within the main hotel you have to pay extra!

Charming old-world elegance in the heart of Trastavere, Rome.

It’s full with history but yet highly renovated and extremely quiet and peaceful. Staff are the best ( thanks much Maria Matteo and Simona ) Great choice. Will definitely come back Best location

Nothing it’s perfect

The location is excellent. Rooms are very spacious.

Wvweything was perfect. Beat 4 star hotel in Roma.

The location was perfect! Quiet, yet walking distance to everything. Beautiful views and a comfortable room.

They were hosting a wedding during our stay and the rooftop was being used by the private event when we wanted to go up there.

Beautiful and well maintained. Staff was attentive. Very nice garden area.

Not as enamored with the Trastevere area as many people are. Would have preferred central Rome.

Location is great Accommodations are great

Wonderful hotel with old world Rome charm. Staff was wonderful; friendly, and helpful.

Our second visit and this is definitely my favourite hotel in the world. Staff are amazing and combine old world service and care with modern efficiency

Nothing

The warmth of the staff The wonderful breakfast buffet, especially the fresh fruit The design and decor of the old monastery

Nothing

Had a great stay, very comfortable

Breakfast options only ok, eggs too watery, skipped it entirely last day

The breakfast was well done and we enjoyed it. The staff was very good in providing anything we needed. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel as a 5 star

We did not have any concerns.

Lovely rooms and spaces to lounge. It has become a regular for me and I’ll keep coming back when I need to pop into Rome.

The staff are all very welcoming, considerate and professional. Paulo in particular worked hard to make sure our stay was delightful and I very much appreciated his efforts.

A beautiful, peaceful, stylish room. The whole hotel is stunning.

location was great; breakfast was good; room was nice

price was a bit high

Absolutely beautiful

Property was beautiful and well maintained. I wish we had found the rooftop earlier in our stay.

Breakfast service in courtyard was dicey. Staff was busy but not well coordinated. We had difficulty getting coffee each morning. It often took asking several waiters for coffee. Although the dinner food in courtyard was tasty, the options for dinner were not great. The restaurant was overpriced for the quality and selection.

This is a phenomenal place! It is right in the heart of the restaurant district, with wonderful eateries within walking distance. It is close enough to the Vatican and the ancient Roman ruins (e.g. the Colosseum), without being right on top of them… but mostly, this place really is a retreat from the chaos of Rome… especially valuable during tourist season. Every time I returned to the Savelli, it was pure ‘ahhhh’. The staff is so welcoming and accommodating. The rooms are big and service is outstanding.

The breakfast was amazing - it is a buffet style with attentive staff that provide the coffee. The foods offered went from salads and freshly-pressed riccotta to cold sliced meats to eggs and bacon to some of the best pastries I’ve ever had (the sour cherry tart was especially delicious). Breakfast is served in the garden which is one of the nicest places at this hotel. There is also evening entertainment in the garden each evening. The nights we were there, we heard a DJ that also played an electric violin with a light-up bow, and a woman singing. Neither was particularly good, but we appreciated the ambience. The hotel building is a former convent, and has a lovely and incredibly confusing layout. I enjoyed spelunking through the hallways looking for the rooftop patio and the church that is attached to the hotel (very very beautiful!). There are beautiful remnants of the convent all around - statues in niches, wood ceilings etc. We did not have time to see the grotto that apparently can be viewed by contacting the front desk - sounds intriguing! The sheets were very high quality and the bath products smelled really good. I liked that this hotel was up the hill from the true tourist smash of Trastivere. It was possible to walk to the tourist insanity, but then to escape to this quiet and lux hotel.

The room was a very odd shape and didn’t have a lot of natural light. Although I appreciate use of all the spaces in this former convent, it seems like this room should have cost a lot less than it did given the strange layout. I think however that the rooms with garden view would have cost even more. We stayed in a second hotel in Rome (Ponte/ Regola neighborhood boundary - across the river) during the same week of this visit that had a view of St. Peters and was a 2-floor suite with a private terrace and bottle of prosecco to welcome us that was the same price as this room. Compared to that, this room was extremely overpriced. This hotel layout is interesting and would be miserable for anyone that has issues with stairs. It worked for us, but beware!

The breakfast was very good with a huge variety of choices and the staff was very attentive.

The birds that would try to steal food on the tables.

Beautiful gardens and comfortable rooms. Excellent service and staff. Breakfast was good and location is quiet.

The wifi was wonderful, the room was also a great size! We ended up having a friend in Rome visit us for coffee in the morning and you can order al la carte. The garden is beautiful with a great location easily walkable to the colosseum and restaurants near by. The staff was amazing with recommendations and scheduling a taxi to leave was insanely easy - couldn't recommend this place enough!

Nothing to complain about!

The building itself was absolutely stunning and the staff were very helpful.

Nothing. My only downfall was that it was very hot when I stayed and I regretted not booking a hotel with a pool but the other hotels available with pools were not as beautiful as Donna Camilla savelli.

The location was excellent and the breakfast was perfect. There were so many wonderful choices. The hotel restaurant was perfect for dinner. There food was excellent.

We were there for my daughters wedding. Which was absolutely incredible. The hotel itself if just stunning. The views from the roof top are breathtaking . The staff are so helpful and friendly. The food at the hotel is delicious. I would recommend this hotel to.anyine thats visiting Rome . The location is perfect .

I honestly couldn't think of anything that I didn't like . Everything was perfect

The history of it, the character and the beautiful courtyard

Would have preferred to have a slightly earlier check in without having to pay for it.

This hotel is beautiful. It always smells amazing as well. Staff are very friendly and courteous.

Room is a little noisy from the hallway.

Rooms were comfortable and very nice. Garden is beautiful to sit in for breakfast, or even during the day. Staff was really nice.

I wish they had a pool.
