Donna Camilla Savelli
Via Garibaldi, Trastevere, 00153
The hotel takes its name from the founder of the religious institute. After an immaculate restoration, with respect both to the architectural criteria of the Baroque period and of the original project of Borromini, the convent has been transformed into a superior hotel. The roof garden of the Donna Camilla Savelli bestows almost the impression of travelling back in time through the centuries. In the centre is positioned a fountain, also from the Baroque period. The cloister, the refectory, the entrance and communal areas, all conceived by Borromini recalling the classic antiquity and the atmosphere of the Adriana Villa in Tivoli, make the Donna Camilla Savelli a unique entity in the landscape of Italian hotels.
Location
A small architectural jewel in the heart of Rome, this hotel complex is a former 17th century convent, originally designed by Francesco Borromini (1599-1667). A corner of tranquillity in the heart of the Trastevere district, the hotel lies at the foot of the Gianicolo hill. There are numerous restaurants, bars and clubs within walking distance of the hotel. Shopping opportunities and a tourist office are roughly a 20-min walk away. Leonardo da Vinci International Airport is about 20 km from the hotel.
Rooms
The cells, which in past times hosted the nuns of the Oblate Agostiniane order, have been developed into the hotel's rooms. Each is presented in its ancient splendour, with exposed wooden beams and antique furniture. There is a synthesis between antique and modern, in which attention to detail and minimalism co-exist. Each room has its own unique characteristics, without a single room being identical to another. The 78 rooms of the hotel provide, particularly at sunset, a scene of rare beauty. From one of the terraces, guests have the impression of dominating the 'Eternal City'. The rooms are en suite with shower, bath and hairdryer. Guests also have the luxury of a double or king-size bed. Amenities include a direct dial telephone, satellite/cable TV, Internet access, safe and minibar. The rooms also come with individually regulated air conditioning and heating.
Payment
American Express, Diners Club, JCB, MasterCard and VISA are accepted at this establishment.
