Love this place, safe & secure, very pretty and clean and inviting. Lemon and Orange trees pave the high walls surrounding the property, grounds itself stunning. Rooms basic but clean and cosy. Tea & Coffee making facilities very handy after a day of trecking around Rome. It was the perfect place to get married! Location absolutely perfect, Coloseum right on... More

We stayed here for 9 nights in the run up to and just after our wedding which was also organised through the Irish College. Alison was very helpful throughout all the planning and everything went perfectly! Our families were able to stay at Villa Irlanda for the few days as well and took over the place, which was appreciated! There... More

This is one of the true hidden gems of Rome. The Irish College has spent a great deal of time, effort and money in converting this old convent to a modern, comfortable and extremely convenient home away from home. The facilities include a swimming pool, tennis court and five aside football pitch. The rooms are generously sized with lofty ceilings... More

While Villa Irlanda is only a short... More

We stayed here for 3 nights. Very comfortable large rooms with large en-suite. Walking distance to all the sights of Rome. Breakfast room on ground floor , tea and coffee available all day! Breakfast was lovely and fresh.Would not stay any where else in Rome. Thank you to Alison the manager. Fab experience.

Wonderful accomodation with the rarest of things in Europe.....tea and coffee making facilities! Bright, large and airy rooms. Beautiful grounds...with a seasonal swimming pool. So very central to everywhere and near a good range of places to eat or just get a coffee. The manager is a star! Would certainly stay there again and have recommended to friends.
