Alternative Lodgings in Rome

Alternative Lodgings in Rome

Something that I ran across just recently in looking for information on Rome was the possibility of staying in Convents or Monasteries. Two websites had information that I’m evaluating:

http://www.romefile.com/accommodation/convents.php

and

http://www.santasusanna.org/comingToRome/convents.html .

Some of these accommodations have restrictions, some may be very Spartan, and not all of them are cheap, but some are open 24-hours a day, and some are cheap, especially if you have a roommate. Furthermore, the posting might be out of date.

This one looks good to me:

Casa di Santa Francesca Romana

Wow! Location, location, location!

In Trastevere very near the Ponto Palatino

There are many others on the websites that I haven’t investigated yet.

Let me know what you think about this idea at rspeaker@uno.edu.
