Casa di San Francesca Romana a Ponte Rotto was once the residence of Francesca Romana, widely considered the patron saint of race car drivers. The hotel offers a balance of prime location and heavenly peace and quiet. Though the Casa is a ten-minute walk from the nearest metro, the Tiber River is less than a block away.
Spacious rooms are decorated in clean green and white, with minimal artwork and spacious armoires. They're clean as a whistle and cozy, too. While each room varies slightly from the next, they all have green accents, lightwood, and high ceilings.
The hotel doubles as a conference center, and is probably the loveliest conference center we've ever seen. With 35 bedrooms, six meeting rooms, and a chapel to boot, this place has got it all.
Breakfast can be served inside or, during fine weather, in the luscious courtyard. The staff is friendly, professional, and at your service until 2 AM, when doors close for the night. Party animals head elsewhere.

About the Casa di San Francesca Romana a Ponte Rotto neighborhood
Perched on the western bank of the River Tiber just where it straddles Isola Tiberina, Trastevere ("across the Tevere," or Tiber) is known for its artsy demeanor and picturesque, winding streets. This historically working-class neighborhood is terribly cute, and hip to boot. It's characterized by earth-toned medieval buildings and stone walls just crawling with ivy. Plus, it offers easy access to the Centro Historico. Just keep in mind that Trastevere has been "discovered." The neighborhood features loads of tourist traps. Think Boho gone Soho. And while much of its tough, "authentic" Roman character remains, Trastevere is also now home to numerous trendy and touristy bars, cafes, shops, and restaurants. Nighttime crowds can make these postcard-perfect streets downright noisy. Despite all this, we can't help it. We love Trastevere just the same.
