Casa San Giuseppe

The Casa San Giuseppe B&B is situated in the center of historic Trastevere, surrounded by cobblestoned streets, trailing ivy and traditional craft shops.

Sadly, the hotel’s interior lacks the character of its surroundings. The majority of its 29 rooms are done up in the same peaches-and-cream color scheme. But Casa San Giuseppe’s guest rooms and private bathrooms are large, comfortable and equipped with air conditioning, a TV and telephone.

The B&B compensates for the ho-hum room décor with a welcoming reception area, lounge and breakfast room. These common areas feature traditional ceilings, some interesting artifacts and even a piano. Some quirky antiques are scattered about, including a vintage wooden workbench in the breakfast room. The hotel also boasts a terrace garden.

Note: The Casa San Giuseppe is located very near Trastevere’s main strip of student bars. This area can be noisy into the wee hours of the night, so if this concerns you, ask for a room overlooking the parking lot or, better yet, the neighboring convent.

Wi-Fi is free in the public areas, and breakfast is included in the room rate.
