Rupert Parker Loves The Vibe In And Around The Hotel Trastevere Roma | Una Esperienze.
Sporting genuine Roman hospitality, the stylish 4* hotel, Trastevere Roma | UNA Esperienze offers a blend of stylish modern comfort and genuine Roman neighbourhood charm. It’s located in the lively and historic district of Trastevere, and makes a modern and stylish base to explore the Eternal City.
Housed in a palazzo with seven floors, it was built at the end of the 19th century as a residential complex for the upper middle classes. There are 94 rooms including 6 Junior Suites and 12 Suites, furnished in a style to evoke the character of a beautiful home in Trastevere. Choose between rooms and suites with street views or those overlooking the peaceful inner courtyard.
We stayed in a Superior Room on the 5th floor, bright and airy, with a view over Trastevere. Double glazing and a huge comfortable bed guaranteed an excellent night’s sleep. A chair and stool added a touch of colour to the white and grey décor, complemented by an abstract picture on the wall.
The modern bathroom has walk-in shower, washbasin toilet and bidet plus a UNA fragranza courtesy set. There are floor to ceiling double windows, opaque for privacy, which open to embrace the morning air. Of course flat screen TV, private safe, free Wi-Fi, Nespresso coffee machine, fluffy bathrobe and bath slippers all come as standard.
The rooftop on the seventh floor is home to the Vista Trastevere Roof Bar & Restaurant. It’s open all day, serving breakfast, lunch, aperitifs and dinner. The menu combines local specialties with internationally inspired dishes, all crafted with carefully selected ingredients and expertly prepared by the Chef. The views over Rome are fantastic stretching all the way to the Palatine Hill and beyond.
On the ground floor is the BeVere Bar where the generous breakfast buffet is served year-round, with specialties inspired by Italian, American, and Eastern traditions. During summer, guests may also enjoy lunch in this space with hot and cold drinks served throughout the day.
The lobby, framed by arches and furnished with new vintage-style pieces, houses the reception area. At one corner is the internal courtyard, a peaceful corner with a cobbled floor. During summer, guests can take advantage of the elegant umbrellas and tables for drinks and snacks. Off the courtyard is a multifunctional room with seating for around 12 people, capable of hosting small meetings.
Trastevere itself is one of Rome’s most charming quarters: cobbled lanes, ivy-covered façades, cafés, trattorias, artisan shops and a nightlife that doesn’t feel too frenetic. Opposite the hotel is a daily street market, offering fruit and veg plus a variety of clothing. Five minutes’ walk is lively Piazza di Santa Maria dominated by the beautiful Basilica di Santa Maria with its gold-mosaic façade.
The hotel is pioneering an innovative new concept: “Rome by Romans -Trastevere” based on the idea that Rome should not only be visited, but discovered and fully experienced. This is not mere entertainment, it’s a celebration of identity and the senses.
A variety of experiences, designed by locals, are on offer for hotel guests. These include a complimentary curated tour of the local Trastevere district designed by the hotel team. You’ll visit local artisans in their workshops and tour the serene Orto Botanico gardens. They also offer luxury cruises on the Tiber and a Fiat 500 Dolcevita Tour for an additional fee.
We liked this place for its comfort and genuine Roman hospitality. And, after a hard day of touristing, you come each back each night to a cosy room and a memorable rooftop view. But, best of all, it’s situated right at the heart of Trastevere – a district that has huge personality, cram packed with lively bars and restaurants, yet near enough to all the sights.
