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

Fodor's
"This handsome hotel at the top of Via Veneto next to the Villa Borghese park is something of a beacon on the Rome landscape, and no expense has been spared in decorating the rooms." Full review

Star Service
