Convent in Rome
 
Has anyone stayed at Villa Rosa convent in Rome & has any information to share?

Do you have an address or full name? There are two convents with similar names. Are you looking for a particular location or amenities in a convent.

I see it's listed on Santa Susanna. It's not a location that I would pick. Is there a reason to stay in that location?

kybourbon - Villa Rosa convent on Via Terme Deciane 5, Rome 00153. Just curious if anyone has stayed & could share their experience. When I booked this location I didn't know the exact location as I picked the convent based on the nuns speaking English, the price & no curfew. I realize it's a little out of the way but I'm fine with the location.

Have you tried this site? Seems pretty comprehensive.

I've stayed in others, but I believe there have been some reviews on this board for Villa Rosa, if not, try Trip Advisor. You will have a subway station close, but it's not really walkable to lots of places. There's another nearby convent which is called Hotel Casa Kolbe and run by Conventual Franciscan Order of Friars on via di San Teodoro so it's not the only one in the area. I have several convent books and some have reviews. I'll see if they list any reviews for Villa Rosa. Here's the Rome's Tourist Board page about the convent. On the map, click the camera and zoom in a time or two to get a feel for the area.
