Welcome to the exquisite Residenza San Calisto, a charming three-star gem nestled in the heart of Rome’s beloved Trastevere district. This boutique accommodation has earned an impressive 9.1 rating from satisfied guests, placing it among the most highly-regarded establishments in this historic area of the Eternal City.

For travelers seeking an authentic stay in Rome—one that combines the vibrant atmosphere of Trastevere with accessibility to the city’s major attractions—Residenza San Calisto represents an exceptional choice.

Reviews
Aaron from United States (10/10)
great location and super friendly and helpful staff!
Jose from Ireland (10/10)
The room (Portico d'Ottavia) was perfect. The location, the room itself (kitchen, 2 rooms, lounge, tv, internet,…) all you can ask is there. Also, the staff is amazing. A few days before, we were contacted by Whatsup with everything we needed. All the time looking after us. I cannot recommend enough.
