Hotel Description
Nestled in the heart of Rome’s beloved Trastevere district, the 3-star Hotel Santa Maria offers an authentic Italian experience that belies its modest star rating. Located at Vicolo Del Piede 2, this charming boutique hotel has earned an exceptional 9.6 rating from satisfied guests, placing it among the most highly-acclaimed accommodations in the Eternal City. The hotel’s strategic position in Trastevere—one of Rome’s most characterful and historic neighborhoods—provides visitors with the perfect base from which to explore the city’s magnificent attractions while experiencing the genuine rhythm of Roman life.
Trastevere, with its labyrinthine cobblestone streets, ivy-draped buildings, and vibrant piazzas, has long been considered Rome’s most enchanting quarter, and Hotel Santa Maria sits at its very core. Just steps from your door, you’ll discover the magnificent Basilica di Santa Maria in Trastevere, one of the oldest churches in Rome, featuring breathtaking 12th-century mosaics. The hotel’s central location also places guests within comfortable walking distance of iconic landmarks including the Roman Forum, Colosseum, and Vatican City, while the nearby Tiber River offers romantic evening strolls with views of St. Peter’s Basilica illuminated against the night sky. Despite its proximity to major attractions, the hotel’s position on the quaint Vicolo Del Piede (literally “Alley of the Foot”) ensures a peaceful retreat from the bustling tourist crowds, allowing guests to experience Rome as locals do.
What truly distinguishes Hotel Santa Maria, however, is reflected in its near-perfect guest rating of 9.6. This exceptional score speaks volumes about the hotel’s commitment to personalized service, attention to detail, and the authentic Roman hospitality that guests consistently praise. While maintaining the intimate charm of a traditional Roman establishment, the hotel doesn’t compromise on comfort or convenience. The property likely features a courtyard typical of traditional Roman architecture, perhaps adorned with Mediterranean plants and offering an oasis of tranquility where guests can enjoy breakfast or an evening aperitivo after a day of exploration. The Trastevere district itself is renowned for its exceptional dining scene, with countless family-run trattorias, osterias, and gelaterias lining the surrounding streets—all recommendations that the hotel’s knowledgeable staff would undoubtedly be delighted to share with guests. For travelers seeking an immersive Roman experience that balances historical authenticity with modern comfort, exceptional service with value, and central convenience with local charm, Hotel Santa Maria in the heart of Trastevere presents an opportunity to experience the true essence of the Eternal City from an ideally situated and extraordinarily well-regarded accommodation.

Michael from United States (9/10)
It seems to be a great place. It was raining really hard when we got there so we didn’t get to see much of the outside, but the staff was great. They also arranged for us to be picked up for an early morning ride to the airport. The ride was on time. Got there on time no stress at.
