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
