Just return from a short but very agreable visit at Residenza Santa Maria.
Located in Trastavere , it 's a perfect location , very easy walking distance to all the sights, but at the end of the day it was great to come back to this lovely small hotel. The hotel as well as the rooms are very cheerful and very quiet. We did not really had a chance to sit in the nice covered courtyard , too much to do in Rome , but it look like a nice place to relax. My only regret is that unlike their sister hotel , Hotel Santa Maria, there was no courtesy wine and nibbles offered to the guest! It would have been a nice touch! Since the hotels rates are the same, the same services should be offered.
The personnel was helpful and breakfast was perfect, it included the usual breads, ham, cheese, yogurts but also fresh fruits which is not always available in hotels in Italy.
After a long day of sight seeing, it was nice not to have to go far to find a restaurant. there are plenty around . Free internet was a plus. Since the hotel is newly renovated it had the advantage of having one of the best shower I had during our trip.
I highly recommend this hotel if you are interested in a small and quiet hotel away from all the touristy areas. I would definetely stay at the residenza in a future trip to Rome read more
