Convents Doubling as Hotels in Rome
Millennia of history have poured tons of charm and enchanting beauty into Rome. This is mirrored in the rates of almost all the hotels of the eternal city. Luckily some convents doubling as hotels can offer you a holy, thrifty alternative.
Convents combine simplicity with affordability
Convents are an alternative to hotels especially if you're on a budget. You can find many convents in Rome – and across the rest of Italy – that double as hotels. Rates start as low as 45 euros for a single room and includes breakfast. This price can compensate for the spartan rooms you might get. Many of the Sisters living at the convents speak only rudimentary English so you'll have the chance to practice your Italian. We took a look at the best convents doubling as hotels in Rome and shortlisted six of our favorites.
