Boasting a modern and Mediterranean atmosphere, The Hotel San Francesco offers 24 boutique-style rooms in a great location for decent prices.

Located in a quiet corner of Trastevere, the three-star Hotel San Francesco has a modern and Mediterranean vibe, with ocean-blue walls, checkered floors and a baby grand piano. The huge reception greets you with fresh fruit and a friendly smile from Valentina, the concierge. This one-time seminary (converted into a hotel in 2001) offers 24 rooms with dark wooden furniture, white sheets and red and blue touches. Each room has air conditioning, a minibar, telephone, TV, safe and private bathroom (four of which have a Jacuzzi bath).

A continental breakfast is served in a sunny dining room for an additional charge. You can also enjoy a drink in the reception bar or, in summer, head to the rooftop terrace to sip a glass (or several) of wine. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel. They also have a bike rental service for those that want to explore Rome on two wheels.

The Hotel San Francesco is located about a 10-minute walk from the center of Trastevere, but the area is very quiet. The historic center of Rome is reachable by the 8 Tram or a 20-minute walk. On Sunday mornings, visit the nearby Porta Portese flea market to find a bargain.

Trastevere

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.
