Casa di Santa Brigida
$$, Campo de' Fiori
Fodor's Review:
Obviously, the sisters of Santa Brigida offer their guests some very special things: insider tickets to papal audiences, a house that overlooks the magnificent Piazza Farnese (where one of Michelangelo's buildings surveys all), and a most enviable location in the heart of Old Baroque Rome. But you have to remember this is part of the Convent of St. Bridget, so guest rooms are simple (and serene -- no TV), the nuns don't bend over backward to get you ice for your soda (presumably they have more important things on their minds), and the breakfasts are nothing to write home about. Still, the atmosphere is redolent (antiques dot the bedrooms), there's a lovely roof terrace overlooking the Palazzo Farnese, a fine chapel and library, and the Brigidine sisters are known for their gentle manner (they wear a distinctive habit and veil with a caplike headband). Little wonder you need to book well in advance here. Inquire about meal plans here. Note that the address is that of the church of Santa Brigida, but the guesthouse entrance is around the corner at Via Monserrato 54.
