Hi, I just bought this year's RS Italy Book. As I read thru the part regarding Rome, Rick mentioned about 'Casa di Santa Brigida'. I am not sure how much is the rate yet but when I looked thru Venere, in Navona area it runs to almost 200 Euro and above.

Sally, try this email: [email protected] This is the convent Casa di Santa Brigida, Monserrato 54, overlooking Piazza Farnese. It is very close to the Campo de' Fiori. A very clean place, the sisters are quite accomodating, and many speak English. I address my emails to Sr. M. Gertrude. They are somewhat pricey (E110-190 single/double). I think it is fab. The beds are twin, so it's not a romantic deal, but you can push together : ) They arranged for private taxi with "the only taxi we trust" very early for the trip to the airport for my girlfriend and I. I highly recommend. They will ask for a personal check, which I mailed and got a receipt. When we checked in they were quite aware we were coming, but it was a bit disjointed on getting checked in. Very relaxed however, elevators, open and airy and large. I think you'd love it. It takes 5 minutes to walk to the Piazza Navona, etc.
