Casa di Santa Francesca Romana

Fodor's Review:

Not far from some of the sweetest nooks and crannies of medieval Trastevere, this former monastery (once the Palazzo dei Ponziani) was built to honor the 15th-century St. Francesca Romana. A large complex, the hotel is centered around an impressive ochre-colored courtyard, lined with potted trees and tables. There is also a TV-room and a private library. Guest rooms are standard-issue and the cool white walls, tile floors, and simple desks won't win any design-awards, but for the money, this is a fabulous location and spectacular buy, made even more attractive if you want to opt for the half- or full-board options available. Pros: the price can't be beat; breakfast is delicious; excellent location. Cons: not many amenities; thin walls; no Internet access.

  • Hotel Details: 31 rooms, 4 suites
