We stayed for 2 nights in February. No english was spoken but one of the sisters was very good with a translate app. They were very, very nice and the place was immaculate - the cleanest place we have ever stayed. It is in a neighborhood setting - so very quiet but there are several good restaurants within a few blocks and a close walk to the train station and busy area in trastevere. Very glad we stayed.
The holiday house 'Virgen del Pilar' is situated in the Via Alessandro Poerio 51 D, an elegant, tree-lined avenue in Rome's Gianicolense district, one of the most attractive and scenic areas in Rome, sometimes called 'Monteverde" (green mountain). The vast, expansive Villa Doria Pamphilj, the second largest park in Rome, is only steps away.
The guesthouse, fully renovated in 2017, is managed by the Spanish Missionary Sisters of Jesus and Mary, (Suore spagnole dell'Opera Missionaria di Gesù e Maria), who have furnished the guest rooms in a simple and refreshing style, while catering for the needs of a busy traveller. All rooms are equipped with a private bathroom with walk-in shower, hairdryer, soap and detergents. A telephone is in each room and heating and air-conditioning is provided. A left-luggage office, laundry and ironing room, vending machine with fresh drinks and snacks, are available for the use of guests. Breakfast is served daily. Lunch is available for groups who have made a request.
Parking is available on site with direct access to the house. A beautiful chapel dedicated to the Virgin of Pilar is open for moments of prayer or spiritual retreat.
This most hospitable convent guesthouse is open all year round and is an ideal choice for pilgrims, individuals, families, tourists and groups of all kinds, looking for inexpensive, clean, safe and well-located accommodation in Rome.
