"One of Rome’s most sumptuous hotels."

"The Grand Hotel Plaza doesn't quite live up to its luxury aspirations, but its elegant Palazzo Lozzano home, good dining and bars, and classically styled rooms make this a solid four-pearl option." Full review

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

Enjoy an aperitivo buffet provided every evening, plus the bar’s full range of cocktails and wines.
DK Eyewitness "An oasis of calm in an area relatively untouched by the onslaught of time, Santa Maria has rooms around a charming courtyard filled with citrus trees."
Time Out "Just off delightful piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere, the Santa Maria opened in 2000 on the site of a 16th-century convent and has since built up a loyal clientele." Full review
Star Service "This charming inn is a delightful throwback that rightfully deserves the honor of "Rome's Homiest Hotel."" Full review

"Hidden away off a side street in the charming old neighborhood of Trastevere, this three-pearl property was once a monastery." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"Imagine an orange grove, with rooms, in the heart of the centro storico." Full review
Independent "A friendly atmosphere and lashings of character more than compensate for this hotel’s lack of cutting-edge style"
