“Très bien situé, propre... parfait”

Nous sommes venus en famille dans un appartement de 3 chambres. Très propre. Le personnel est très serviable. Nous l'avons adoré. Petit-déjeuner simple mais agréable.

“Excellent stay in a lovely peaceful convent”

Stayed at the convent with my teenage daughter for three days visiting the Vatican. Very near the Vatican (only downside was the hill to climb up - not so good for elderly people), lovely fresh food, the nuns were very helpful and kind, the room excellent with aircondtioning and very clean.

Stayed at the convent with my teenage daughter for three days visiting the Vatican. Very near the Vatican (only downside was the hill to climb up - not so good for elderly people), lovely fresh food, the nuns were very helpful and kind, the room excellent with aircondtioning and very clean. Plenty of towels, lovely chapel. You could go in when you liked to pray. Communal tv room and you were free to use it and watch your own dvd's or film. Would certainly recommend it to others.

Lovely bathrooms with all fittings, lots of towels, plents of hot water and a separate bathroom to share. 4. The chapel is very beautiful and contemplative. 5. There is a drinks machine for water, beer and hot drinks. 6. It is very near the Vatican, just a five minute walk away. 7. It is noisy as it is in the middle of Rome but there is good sound insulation at night and the air conditioning is nice and quiet. 8. Breakfast is bread/cheese/jams with coffee and tea. 9. The nuns are lovely and very helpful. 10. There is an ironing room. 11. Mass happens every morning from 7—7.30 in Italian and you can use the chapel for your own devotions. 12. There are 3 meeting rooms and an outside terrace on the roof which looks over Rome and towards the Vatican. It has fabulous views. 13. There is a TV in two of the meeting rooms with some English news channels. 14. The rooms are a very good size—most doubles with twin beds and good storage. 15. There is an English speaking nun called Sr. Carmen who is lovely and very helpful indeed. She managed to organise a 60th celebration for us with cake and champagne in 24 hours. 16. Evening meal is four courses with - A. pasta or soup B Main course C. cheese and salad D. fruit/cake/biscuits. with water and wine on the table, often 6 bottles for 17 people. The food is good plain convent food

“A calm, convenient and clean place to stay”

Sister Graziella needs a special mention. She is approaching her 90th birthday but still looks after the reception and exudes … Plus

On a recent visit with a friend we were made to fell very welcome. Sister Carmen speaks English, and all were happy to communicate with us in snippets of various languages. Sister Graziella needs a special mention. She is approaching her 90th birthday but still looks after the reception and exudes a joie de vivre beyond compare. The rooms are immaculately clean and the convent is a peaceful oasis after the bustle of Rome and the Vatican. There is a 5 minute short cut through to the Vatican that uses a lift and travelators, so getting around is easy - the open top buses operate from near St Peter's Square and are great for visiting most of the sites of Rome. The Roma pass is useful for Rome, but it is worth paying the extra for the Omnia card which gives free transport and free entry to many museums etc. The best thing about using the card is that it avoids the queues. At many sites the queues can be 2 - 3 hours long!
