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.’

It was a good staying in a high style hotel.
Everything was perfect. Camilla Savelli is a high class hotel, beautifully designed, beautifully furnished, good hosting. Breafast was quiet ordinary, not different from other reguler hotel. For every small request you have to pay extra. For the money they charge for a night they could be more generous.. Idris who works in the hotel is a very nice guy, ready to help you in anything you need always with a smile and good will. In general we had a good time in the hotel. Herze and Carmie
We think that breakfast could be reacher and with more options for interesting food according to the level of the hotel. as the receptionist definded it .

Trastevere gem in a great location
The hotel is beautifully refurbished with well appointed rooms, magnificent central garden courtyard for meals and excellent staff. Breakfast was great with Ana and Marina looking after every need.
Placement of the seat at the base of the bed when the room is dark. Painful but my fault.

Overall, a relaxing and memorable stay with great location and service.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Donna Camilla Savelli. The location in the Trastevere area was perfect—within easy walking distance to many attractions and fantastic dining options. The breakfast was outstanding, offering both great quality and excellent value for money. Each time we returned from exploring the city, it was a pleasure to step into the hotel’s cool, calming atmosphere, complete with a refreshing scent that instantly made us feel relaxed. The staff were consistently pleasant, welcoming, and eager to help with anything we needed. We also had the pleasure of dining at the hotel’s restaurant and were treated to a wonderful gourmet meal. The service was attentive and friendly, making the experience even more memorable. Overall, this hotel provided comfort, convenience, and exceptional hospitality—we would gladly stay here again.
Our room felt a bit small for our preference. Also, in the wing we stayed, we noticed some morning noise from outside coming through the windows. Installing better noise-insulating windows would make the experience even more restful.

Awesome, great value for money
Awesome location and super friendly staff. We really loved the vibe and how they preserved the history of the old monastery. It was beautiful and we would love to return some time.
Bathroom was a bit small, with the toilet located right behind the door

Large comfortable room with good facilities
The room was large and exceptionally clean
We unfortunately were directly under the dining room, from 6am through to after 10pm it was constant scrapping of chairs. After the first day it became really annoying. This was the only negative of the stay.

Beautiful building in a fabulous location. Love Trastevere and loved this hotel. Highly recommend.
Annoying breakfast was not included even though we have two rooms and paid high price. Also the shower was a bit annoying as was over the bath and sprayed all over the floor.

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.

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.
