Hotel overview

Located in the vibrant neighborhood of Trastevere, this 3-star hotel invites guests into a historic medieval building rich with character. The unassuming façade leads to a peaceful courtyard adorned with orange trees, offering a quiet retreat from the lively streets outside. The presence of a chapel on-site reflects the property’s roots as a religious institution, adding a distinct cultural layer to the stay.

Rooms are straightforward yet comfortable, with air conditioning and ample space for families. Travelers appreciate the well-kept common areas and the dedicated breakfast service that starts the day simply but well. While lacking some modern luxuries like a fitness center or airport shuttle, the property’s charm lies in its authentic atmosphere and excellent location.

The neighborhood buzzes with a mix of traditional Roman eateries, trendy bars, and festive piazzas, perfect for exploring on foot. Iconic landmarks such as the Colosseum and Pantheon are easily accessible, making this a convenient base for cultural discovery within the historic heart of Rome.

“Casa di Santa Francesca Romana is a charming accommodation in Rome’s Trastevere district, offering a mix of history, comfort, and convenience. Set in a historic convent building, we were provided with a superior room that was neat, clean, and spacey. However, they are quite standard. We also had free wifi but unfortunately, no tea or coffee station as in most other hotels. With the hotel being positioned in the midst of many restaurants and in a bustling neighborhood, the rooms can be a little noisy, but that added to the charm of Rome and our overall very exciting Italian tour. The big plus was that we got to enjoy a lovely breakfast every morning. The options are incredibly pleasant with both sweet and savoury treats and some good Italian coffee. The friendly, professional and very courteous treatment by the staff, at reception, the breakfast hall and the cleaners, was second to none. We came to truly appreciate this as the smiles and polite attitude brightened our days. The hotel has a cathedral on the first floor and a courtyard with orange trees in which we could take a lithke walk or relax in, when the weather is pleasant. Overall, we appreciated its great location, cleanliness, and friendly service, and will definitely consider staying here again, when in Rome.”

“We (2 adults) stayed here for 5 nights. The ammenities were basic but by all means more than sufficeient. The breakfast was very well prepared and presented. The staff was very helpful in getting us set up and making any arrangements we needed. Location, location, location. Trastervere is not in central Rome, but a short walk across the river to the Collosuem and Forum. It's on a narrow coblestone street with plenty of dining experiences that are unique. Public transportation is very close and will get you anywhere. Walking to the attractions is easy. On the same trip we stayed accross the street from the Colloseum, but if I were to do it again, I would have just stayed here the entire time.”
