Hotel Santa Maria exceeded my expectations.
The location is superb - so fun to be in the liveliness of Trastevere with so many bars, restaurants, shopping - it's an absolute vibe.
Even with all the liveliness, the grounds of the hotel are serene and quiet. As soon as you walk into the gate, it is as if you're transferred to a secret garden of relaxation.
You will also feel safe with the 24hour reception office open to let you into the gate.
The walk across the river to the main attractions is simple and feels safe, you can make it to the Pantheon in about 10-15mins.
The staff here is really what takes this location to the next level. So welcoming, accommodating, booked reservations for my husband and I. I cannot say enough about the staff.
The Happy Hour is great. I didn't think we would attend, but we ended up making it back to the hotel everyday after touring to get some peace and quiet before an eventful night life.
Thank you Hotel Santa Maria - we will be back!
