Property Overview

Donna Camilla Savelli is housed inside a seventeenth-century convent designed and built by Francesco Borromini, set in an intimate corner of Rome's lively Trastevere district at the foot of Janiculum Hill. Commissioned in 1642 by Farnese noblewoman Camilla Savelli, the building retains its original Baroque architecture alongside a first-century Roman grotto, the Cloister, and the Refectory, ensuring the memory of past eras remains intact and making it a truly unique property in the city. Yet for all its grandeur, the relaxed charm of Trastevere seeps in at every turn, softening the ancient Baroque atmosphere. Following a meticulous restoration aimed at safeguarding the Baroque architecture, Donna Camilla Savelli reopened in 2008 and continues to offer guests a home surrounded by beauty, art, and the atmosphere of the Eternal City.

Accommodations

Characterful rooms across the convent.

Donna Camilla Savelli's ninety-four rooms are spread across distinct wings of the former convent, each with its own character. The Deluxe Rooms and Suites occupy the wing once reserved for the nuns, with furnishings and finishes that have remained intact, while the Superior Rooms blend ancient charm with contemporary details. The renovated Classic Rooms offer elegant environments with four-poster beds, and the flagship Premier Suite features a rose window overlooking the adjacent church of Santa Maria dei Sette Dolori, with the original essence of the Monastery giving it a historical and tranquil atmosphere.
Restaurant

Renaissance flavor revival.

Contempo Restaurant's Il Ferro e Il Fuoco takes guests on a culinary journey through time, with artfully constructed dishes that revive the aromas, flavors, and colors of historic Italian cuisine. The internal garden houses the Bar Bistrot, a tranquil spot for a true Italian breakfast, light lunch, or delicious sunset aperitif, surrounded by the citrusy scent of fruit trees.
Bar

Morning coffee and sunset aperitifs.

Elementa Bar's antique internal garden is the perfect place to start the day, with the aroma of coffee, freshly baked bread, and homemade jams making for a distinctly sweet Roman morning. Light meals are served at lunch, and come evening, the garden becomes a tranquil spot for a sunset aperitif, with an array of drinks and signature cocktails to choose from, surrounded by the citrusy scent of fruit trees.
