Staff2590Strength
A beautiful little hotel with the friendliest of staff, all ever so helpful and attentive.
Booking network, August 2026, rated 10/10 by this guest
We loved our stay at the Santa Maria hotel, the family room was perfect for our family with 2 teenagers, the hotel staff is charming, it was a pleasure to return to the hotel at the end of the day for a very pleasant aperitif sheltered from the heat of Rome.

Location1540Strength
The staff went above and beyond to make us comfortable, and the location was perfect — this was my parents' first trip to Europe, and they couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Quiet at night10510Strength
A quiet haven in the busy medieval neighbourhood of Trastevere.
Tripadvisor, March 2026, rated 5/5 by this guest
This is our favorite place to stay in Rome - right in the middle of the food and restaurants, walking distance to all the things to see, and quietly tucked back in a courtyard.
Tripadvisor, March 2026, rated 5/5 by this guest
Location in Trastevere is very lively on a Saturday night so there is some street noise.
