Fodor's Review:

With one of the prettiest patio-courtyards in Rome, this hotel offers its own blissful definition of Pax Romana. Peace, indeed, will be yours sitting in this enchanting spot, shadowed by palm trees, set with tables, and adorned with pink and white flowers, all surrounded by the ochre walls of the hotel, which was renovated in 2001 from a palazzo built by the noble Venetian Palottini family. Some rooms overlook the garden of the historic Palazzo Spada. Inside, the sleek decors, replete with cherry wood accents, recessed lighting, and luminous marble floors also give a calming effect. Guest rooms are refined—suites come with Jacuzzis and furnished balconies or terraces, bathrooms can be lavishly modern, and there's also a bar and restaurant. The location is an award-winner—just off the Ponte Sisto, the pedestrian bridge that connects the Campo de' Fiori area with Trastevere (whose trattorias and bars are thus just a quick jaunt away), and a second from Via Giulia, Rome's prettiest street. Pros: rooms with views (and some with balconies and terraces); luxury bathrooms; beautiful courtyard garden. Cons: street-side rooms can be a bit noisy; some rooms are on the small side; restaurant doesn't serve lunch or dinner.

Stayed here in July '07 and had a wonderful time. The staff is professional and friendly and a nice breakfast is served in the impressive courtyard in the warmer months. Excellent location for exploring central Rome; just steps from the Tiber/Ponte Sisto.
