Convents in Rome

[CathyCruises]

With the search feature down, I am in need of some help finding low cost accommodation for a friend in Rome. I remember Eurocruiser and agabbymama posting about some good possibilities. Would you mind posting the info again so I can pass it along?

 

Thanks,

Cathy

I've stayed several times at Casa Il Rosario, near the forum.

Santa Susanna, the American church in Rome, has an entire list of convents on their web site here: http://www.santasusanna.org/comingToRome/convents.html#R-vatican

I didn't stay in an actual convent, though the Hotel Domus Aurelia is run by Nuns and has a chapel on the top floor. And the church next door does special meals. Not a restaurant, they do set meals & you take it or leave it. We had a wonderful 3 course meal with wine for 15 EURO. It is a hike, but walking distance to the Vatican for two older ladies with mobility issues.

 

There is also a small grocery store about 2 blocks down the road. We paid for a triple to ensure we had separate beds. Twins were sold out. But we had a lovely little balcony, a continental breakfast and a computer off the lobby for patrons use.

Great--thanks!! I'll pass this along too. Hopefully they find something they like.

I've also stayed several times at Casa Santa Francesa Romana in Trastevere. I love the location, very quiet, but this is a former convent now run as a hotel by a professional management company. It costs more to stay here than the convents but it has the benefit of 24-hour front desk service and no curfew, as well as a TV in each room.

We have stayed in Fraterna Domus a few times. Very, very convenient to the sites.

 

If you stay there, be absolutely certain to ask for a tour of the private church that is connected to the building.
