The Hotel
Santa Maria is an Hotel de Charme located in a 16th century cloister completely renovated in the
year 2000 maintaining the flavour of the original construction. It makes a very
pleasant base in a romantic and relaxing ambience.
The hotel is located in an
historical area of central Rome in the heart of one of the most
ancient and characteristic neighbourhoods of the city,
Trastevere.
A true oasis of
tranquillity immersed in an intricate labyrinth of colourful and brigth
narrow streets.
From the
hotel, guests can easily walk to the historical and archaeological beauties of
the city. It is also possible to drive to the hotel with parking available in
the courtyard, or in a garage next to the entrance of the hotel.
The hotel has a one-floor plan with all rooms communicating
on a monastic portico, and facing an ample and silent
garden of orange-trees, flowers and Mediterranean plants, a perfect
setting for enjoying breakfast in the warm and sunny roman days, or
just for relaxing after
a day of sightseeing.
All
rooms are at ground level, built around a courtyard and portico,
each illuminated by a window which looks out at the orange trees in the garden.
The rooms are very comfortable and quiet, painted with sunny colors and floral
motifs. Each room is furnished with simple, but elegant oak wood furniture. They
have "cotto" tile floors, and all the modern amenities: air conditioning, mini
bar, safe, satellite LCD television, telephone, and bathroom with bath or
shower, plus hair-dryer.
When weather does not permit us to serve breakfast in the garden, an ancient
artisan’s workshop has been transformed
into an elegant dining room, and it will welcome you with freshly-baked
croissants, cakes, cookies, bread,
as well as scrambled eggs,
ham, cheese, salami, cereal, yoghurts, and assorted honey, marmalade,
fruit-juice and seasonal fresh fruit.
Wine Bar: choosing
from our refined selection of Italian wines stocked in our Cellar (ranging
from Vermentino di Gallura to Brunello di Montalcino ) guests can enjoy the pleasant relaxing atmosphere of the café-bar or the garden,
an ideal spot for savouring a glass of excellent wine before venturing out to the picturesque and intimate alleys of Trastevere in search of a
good “osteria” or one of the many fine restaurants of this most frequented
dining area of old Rome.
The hotel Santa
Maria is located in the centre of Rome, in the heart of
