About

San Cosimato 40 Guesthouse

San Cosimato 40 Guesthouse sits on Piazza Di San Cosimato in Rome's Trastevere district, one of the city's most atmospheric neighbourhoods. The property occupies a building with a lift and offers just six rooms, so the atmosphere is more private residence than hotel. Each room is equipped with air conditioning, heating, a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee facilities, and a private bathroom with free toiletries and a hairdryer.

The guesthouse runs a paid airport shuttle and provides housekeeping. A safe deposit box is available at reception, and the building has key access. The location places you next to a market selling fresh produce, meat, and fish, with many of Rome's main sights reachable on foot. Piazza Venezia is about a 20-minute walk away.

“Nothing to complain about—I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would happily recommend it. A lovely base for a summer holiday. My double room had a work desk, coffee and tea making equipment, and a multi-channel television. The bathroom was excellent with a bidet. The location was marvellous, close to a cafe, all the main sights, and a market with fresh produce, meat, and fish. Trastevere was worth exploring.”
