"Tucked away on a quiet Trastevere street, I appreciated this peaceful retreat set in a former monastery originally designed by Francesco Borromini; VRetreats restored the original frescoes and the chapel still endures, overseen by three nuns who offer mass. The rooms feel classically decorated with terra-cotta floors, beamed ceilings, woven bird-and-flower wall panels, and many have pleasant garden views—perfect for sightseers who want a calm base in a boisterous neighborhood." - Maresa Manara
