Donna Camilla Savelli, Rome

The sense of being in a monastery…

So beautiful and special , I cried! This was a large convent and the chapel is open with daily Mass! There is a lot of history and the art is to behold! The vista from the terrace overlooking Rome is spectacular. Our room was very comfortable for three adults. The service was exquisite and the breakfast delicious!

Dinner was ok but not to the standard of everything else in the hotel! Maybe because it was a slow season!

Absolutely fabulous location. We walked everywhere. Really cute place to stay.. much to see at the hotel as outside.

The location was amazing and it was an overall good value Loved the staff and their recommendations

The location! So quiet & peaceful. Quality of the bed. Excellent breakfast.

Initial communication wasn’t good! Assuming it was Mr & Mrs ! Not in this day & age please. Think it fair to say it’s starting to look a bit tired!

Front desk staff very friendly and helpful Bed very comfortable Brilliant location Nuns in the little chapel

Breakfast choice Pigeons at breakfast View from our room. Totally overlooked, had to keep curtains closed

It has so much character, a really beautiful place to relax after a busy day of site seeing.

Very quaint but comfortable.

The 1st night was spent in a room above the street that was very noisy. We changed to an inner room that was quiet and comfortable.

I loved the location of this hotel, away from the busier parts of the city. There are lovely green areas within easy walking, but also good restaurants, picturesque piazzas, and interesting streets to wander. As for the hotel itself, the public spaces were lovely, the gallery lounge area with vaulted ceilings was stunning, and we loved the beautiful courtyard garden where we sat and had drinks before dinner. The courtyard was also a nice place to simply sit and recoup at any time of day. One day, due to ongoing work, breakfast was served in the gorgeous refectory. That was a treat! Breakfasts were very good, with lots of choices. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Don't miss the chapel located in the hotel!

The actual room accommodations were rather basic and somewhat dated. The room was small but adequate. There was no place to keep luggage off the floor. The paint and furnishings could use some attention. I didn't hear voices from the adjoining room but, strangely, I did hear snoring. The bathroom was large and appeared very clean, but there was a mildew smell, maybe from the drains? Toward the end of our stay the hotel hosted some sort of conference or meeting. Hotel staff appeared to be stretched very thin accommodating those attendees as well as regular guests.

The general ambiance, and the truly excellent conversion (from a 17th century nunnery), made this hotel a joy to visit.

The restaurant was a disappointment. Food OK. "Elevator" music awful.

I loved my accommodations - especially the room I had for the second leg of my trip. I stayed in a room with a balcony for two nights upon arriving in Rome then I checked out to travel to Tuscany for a few days before returning to Rome for a week. The third floor room I stayed in this time was much larger with a small desk, seating area and an oversized window with shutters. The king size bed was super comfortable and the room was quiet. The bathroom featured a window and a glass-enclosed, step-in shower which I loved. The staff is professional and service is exceptional. The hotel was once a monastery and original artwork, religious artifacts and original chapel remain, adding to the beautiful, historic aesthetic. There’s even a Roman cave underneath the hotel where nuns would store wine and where Jews were hidden during WWII. You need to ask the front desk for a tour of this! The rooftop terrace offers stunning views of Rome. The hotel’s complimentary breakfast has a lot to offer including delicious cappuccinos. I enjoyed the breakfast every day before heading out to explore the city. They offered options for gluten-free and vegan, too. I found the location in lively Trastevere to be very convenient as I walked everywhere. It was about a 25 minute walk to Vatican City, Piazza Navona, Pantheon, Colosseum, Testaccio, the scenic lookout in Gianicolo. I felt safe walking to/from this hotel and staying here solo. There are plenty of options to eat, drink, shop and people-watch within steps of the hotel. It was a fabulous place to return to at the end of each day and a wonderful place to wake up every morning. I actually cried when I had to say goodbye to this place!

Perfect location, quiet but near everything, great service, breakfast, room comfortable.

Nothing

We stayed for 7 nights. It is a beautifully presented historical place. I am glad we chose to stay. A couple of points to keep in mind if you are considering booking. It is outside of the Rome CBD and Historical areas. We used taxis to get in and out of town and that worked well. Cab fares are ok generally. There are plenty of bars restaurants and boutique shops nearby. The hotel restaurant and bar service are very good. The hotel staff were excellent. Breakfasts were good. Check out the beautiful chapel. The shower in our suite was in a large bath. Getting in and out of the shower could be an issue if you have mobility problems so it would pay to check what sort of shower arrangements your room has before booking, if you are a bit on the shakey side. This wasnt a problem for us. If I were to visit Rome again I would want to stay at the Donna Camille. Thanks to the wonderful staff for helping make our stay a memorable one.

I couldnt fault it.

Enjoyed. Breakfast. Bar was difficult to get attendant Hotel extremely busy but nice

Believe the dining room and Bar was being renovated.

Fantastic hotel in great area. Close to attractions but not slap bang in middle of tourist area. The trastevere area has loads of restaurants and bars with very laid back feel.

Nothing. Beautiful hotel with great staff and room.

The renovations done on this monastery were perfect! They added modern amenities while still keeping the historical integrity! Our room was large,bed was so comfy and room was quiet. Location was the best!

Gorgeous old monastery in old part of Rome (Trastevere). Rooms large, classic and overlooking beautiful gardens and courtyards. Own beautiful chapel!

Staff were a little snobby at times. Most were happy.

Beautiful, well maintained property

I found it quite pricey

Everything! Location; rooms; food.

N/A

Very historic building close to a busy area but quiet Panoramic roof terrace Beautiful courtyard

Slightly in need of refreshing the decor

The property was beyond expectations on all accounts. Our room was exceptional with a beautiful view, I think we were lucky to get room 310, apparently one of the few with the best view. The breakfast was great. The staff was warm, friendly and extremely helpful. The restaurant dining was delicious and the service was perfect.

Nothing.
