Once a seminary, Hotel San Francesco is now a boutique hotel in the heart of the Trastevere district and 984 feet from the Porta Portese market. Enjoy 360-degree views from the hotel's rooftop terrace. Set next to the medieval church of San Francesco a Ripa, at the San Francesco Hotel you can have breakfast while enjoying views of the church's 15th-century courtyard. The well-decorated rooms come with free Wi-Fi access, satellite TV and air conditioning. The rooftop terrace offers views of the rooftops of Trastevere and the Aventine Hill. Enjoy drinks here as the church bells chime next door. The hotel is just a few steps away from Viale Trastevere, where you will find excellent tram and bus links.

This is our guests' favorite part of Rome, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.2 for a two-person trip.

Hotel San Francesco has been welcoming Booking.com guests since Jan 10, 2008
