Fodor's Expert Review Casa di Santa Francesca Romana a Ponte Rotto
Via dei Vascellari, 61, Rome, Latium, 00153, Italy
In the heart of Trastevere but tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the medieval quarter, this basic, affordable hotel in a former monastery is centered on a lovely green courtyard and still has a chapel off the corridor. The monastery was built in the 15th century to honor St. Francesca Romana, and guest rooms are accordingly unadorned, with cheerful pastel yellow and cream-colored walls and simple tiled floors. For the money and location, this is an excellent option.
