Rough Guide "The rooms of this small three-star surround an orange-tree-filled garden, making it feel far removed from the city."
Fodor's "This ivy-covered, mansard-roofed, rosy-brick-red, erstwhile Renaissance-era convent is just steps away from the glorious Santa Maria in Trastevere church and a few blocks from the Tiber." Full review
Insight Guides "A former 17th-century cloister, it has been sympathetically renovated and offers high standards of comfort, as well as a courtyard garden that is an oasis of calm."
Travel + Leisure "It has perhaps the most enviable physical visage of all Roman hotels." Full review
