Domus Sessoriana
About
Domus Sessoriana is a hidden gem in the heart of Rome, where a 2,000‑year‑old Benedictine monastery has been lovingly restored into a boutique hotel. With 81 rooms that echo the original monk cells—single, double, triple and family—guests experience a blend of medieval charm and modern comfort, complete with private bathrooms, air conditioning, safe and TV. The highlight of any stay is the roof terrace that offers a 360° panoramic view of the city’s skyline, perfect for sunrise or sunset moments. The hotel’s location, just steps from the Basilica of the Holy Cross in Jerusalem, the Basilica of St. John the Evangelist and the Piazza del Campidoglio, makes it an ideal launchpad for exploring Rome’s most iconic monuments.
