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.’

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.

Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. The rooms were immaculately clean and peaceful. We could have stayed longer!
The property was immaculate! The rooms are beautifully decorated and it has such character.

Fabulous
Beautiful property. Rooms are spacious, very clean and the bed was comfortable. The standard rooms are in the isolated area, which felt a bit that we were not part of other guests and the facilities, but we didn’t mind staying there as the room was very nice and comfortable. I am also aware we were free to explore the rest of the property, if we wanted too. It was also quiet, so we had a good sleep. Thank you.

Fabulous thank you so much to you all!
What a magical hidden gem. Surprisingly peaceful for a city stay and although across the river it was easily walkable to the city centre and Vatican areas. The staff were super friendly and helpful and kindly recommended the roof terrace which has INCREDIBLE views across Rome and which otherwise we might have missed. The on-site monastery church is also rather magical.
Unexpectedly only one large complementary bottle of water was provided for a 2 night stay for 2 people. Perhaps the second bottle was unwittingly forgotten as hotels usually provide a complimentary large bottle of water (or a small bottle of water per person) per night and hopefully this is something that can be looked at and easily resolved if not.

Worth every penny - A must when staying in ROME
Such a charming hotel.. The property is totally gorgeous, its beautiful. It is totally a museum like hotel. The location was perfect and the staff was exceptional. I highly recommend this hotel to everyone.
I liked the chapel inside the property. The new updated rooms with great amenities. I loved the hotel

Always wonderful!
All of the hotel staff are welcoming and friendly. The breakfast is delicious with a great selection on the buffet. I love the location in Trastevere, which is great for evenings but also a short walk to the main sites.

Great hotel, with the Borromini wow factor!
Very impressed with the hotel, the staff, the breakfast etc,....To be honest, though, it was the Borromini factor which was important for me....To be able to attend Mass on New Year's Day at the Borromini-designed Chapel was a fantastic end to our Rome trip...We had focused primarily on Bernini and Borromini on this Rome trip, and this was the piece de resistance...❤🙏
Due to the nature of our room, very little room around the bed, so unable to sit together as a couple...

Perfect choice
The room was very calm and warm. The situation of the hotel is perfect

My home away from home
The staff are top notch and this former convent designed by Boromini is the quintessential Roman hotel.
There really is nothing to complain about. Some people may dislike the slightly out of centre location - but it is Trastevere! - but I adore it!

Fantastic, well kept and ran hotel if not a bit punchy on price
Beautiful building and attentive staff
The €12 tiny bottle of coke out of the mini bar ☹️

Every detail of the architecture and decor made the experience feel luxurious and unique. The atmosphere was serene, and the staff was incredibly attentive, ensuring our stay was perfect. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience that we’ll always remember. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a magical getaway!

A luxurious and elegant escape in an architectural gem.
As architects, we absolutely love this hotel which enhances the original 17th century convent complex. The staff is super attentive. The room had a lovely view of the courtyard garden which is a bonus in the warm months. The details of the room are all carefully curated and of high quality.

i liked the location, the staff are really friendly, close to many tourist attractions and also local restaurants
i didn’t like how there wasn’t many signs especially in english or in different languages, so it wasn’t very clear when places were

Beautiful accommodation in a great location
The rooms were spacious and the beds were very comfortable. We were close to the Vatican and Castel Sant Angelo, and very close to lots of restaurants. It was a very beautiful area to stay. The staff were also very helpful and kind.
Nothing I can think of, our stay was exceptional.

The service from the moment we walked in was exceptional… The facility is so beautiful. I wish we would. The bedrooms felt romantic and gorgeous. Like I said, I wish we would’ve stayed more than one night.
Honestly, there wasn’t much we didn’t love… But I will say the showerhead was really aggressive. I guess that is better than no shower pressure but if they were fine tuning I’d look into the shower head (at least in our room).

would recommend and definately return when in Rome
friendly staff, good breakfast with nice setting. beautiful old hotel, very clean. location good with nice local restaurants. staff looked after transportation to the hotel from port and from hotel to airport
room lay out was too many levels (steps) could be dangerous if you wern't careful. bed was too firm for my liking. should have provided water in the room daily, not just the first day.

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.
