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

Michelin Guide "This hotel is situated in a quiet, residential district not far from the Villa Borghese gardens. The dome of St Peter's is visible from the top floor rooms."
Fodor's "A combination of traditional elegance and contemporary pleasure: picture windows in every room with views over an ocean of green, surmounted by St. Peter's dome." Full review
Insight Guides "Beautifully located in ample grounds on the edge of Villa Borghese gardens, this luxurious modern hotel prides itself on its range of facilities and attention to detail."
Jetsetter "A grand retreat with colossal chandeliers, marble busts and a mosaic-lined pool in Rome's posh Parioli 'hood." Full review

Be sure to check out the Decleor facial treatments at Prince spa — more than 20,000 square feet of state-of-the-art indulgence.

"The Parco Dei Principi Grand Hotel & Spa is located in the Parioli district near the beautiful Villa Borghese park." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The Parco dei Principi setting, tucked away beside Rome’s biggest park, Villa Borghese, means fewer tourists and less traffic for arriving travelers who prefer quieter hotels." Full review
Star Service " It attracts upper-midrange travelers (business and leisure) who prefer tranquility over an epicenter location such as the noisier options near the Spanish Steps. " Full review
BlackBook "We scarcely lifted a finger—except to take a few laps in the pool and sip some Taittinger whilst revitalizing at Prince Spa."
Lonely Planet "With one of the best outdoor swimming pools in central Rome, this luxury hotel perches on the edge of Villa Borghese." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"A monument of Rome’s millennia-spanning love of luxury, Hotel Parco dei Principi is also one of the city’s La Dolce Vita hideaways." Full review
