Hotel San Francesco is situated in Transtevere, the most ancient and characteristic area of Rome. Inaugurated in August 2001 after a careful and valuable restructuring process, Hotel San Francesco is 30 kilometers from the Airport. Stroll the romantic narrow streets of Rome from the hotel and reach the squares, monuments and most elegant streets of the capital. Walk to the Piazza Navona and glimpse into the Roman style of the 17th century summed up through the monumental style by the family of Pope Innocent X (Pamphili). Sample the chic and cheap at nearby narrow streets around Campo de' Fiori that hold some of Rome's most intriguing shops. Gambero Rosso leads the way. Make your visit worthwhile with a trip to the Spanish Steps, named after a local 17th century ambassador's residence. No ordinary staircase, the steps are a bewildering mix of curves, straight flights, vistas, and terraces, usually covered with huge pots of flowers and lounging sightseers. The elegantly furnished rooms all offer the most cherished comforts. The Hotel's strong point is its breakfast room that faces on to a 15th century cloister. Hotel San Francesco offers a wonderful terrace with panoramic view over Rome.
