Hotel Santa Maria is an absolute island of calm and beauty in the midst of what can be a very busy neighborhood, Trastevere attracting swarms of tourists (many of them young people out partying and dining). The front desk staff was impeccable, particularly Emanuele and Adriano, who couldn't have been more helpful. The only drawback to the hotel has nothing to do with the hotel itself--it's the tiny winding streets of Trastevere, which are charming, but this means that you will need to walk a distance to find a bus into the center of Rome. That said, though, the hotel is a short walk to the Ponte Sisto, and once you cross the bridge, within a few blocks you'll find yourself near the Campo de' Fiori and in the midst of many lovely streets, shops and restaurants. This is one of the most relaxing hotels I've ever stayed in, and I hope to return one day.
