Casa di San Francesca Romana a Ponte RottoEditor's Pick

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

The Casa di San Francesca Romana a Ponte Rotto, located on a picturesque side street, is a quiet retreat near the center of Trastevere.

The 35 rooms are simply decorated, with traditional tiled floors, beamed ceilings, unadorned walls and antique wooden furniture. All rooms are equipped with air-conditioning, a minibar, TV and telephone. The modern bathrooms have showers and hairdryers. Some rooms come with balconies (ask ahead).

The Casa di San Francesca Romana also boasts a spacious internal courtyard, meeting rooms, a chapel and some amazing religious artifacts. (It also wins our award for the biggest smiles given to visitors arriving at reception.)

The B&B is about a 10-minute walk to the center Trastevere, where you can take Tram 8 to Largo Argentina and Rome’s historic center.

Note: The hotel serves as a retreat and place of prayer, so this is not a great choice if you’ll be making a noisy return in the early hours of the morning. There is also no Internet at the hotel, though there are many Internet cafes in the area.
