Saint Joseph guest house

A GUEST HOUSE

The Saint Joseph guest house on the Trinità dei Monti estate offers an atmosphere conducive to rest and contemplation. It is located right in the centre of Rome, on the very green Pincio hill, at the top of the famous Scalinata: from the terrace of the guest house you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Eternal City.
Since the 15th century, various religious communities have lived here, and today it’s the Emmanuel Community that has been entrusted with the care of the volunteers.

FOR PILGRIMS, ART LOVERS AND HOLIDAYMAKERS
The house is particularly suitable for groups (pilgrims, chaplaincies, school groups, etc.), but also welcomes people who come alone, with friends or family, to enjoy the cultural attractions of the town or simply to relax.

A FRENCH-SPEAKING HOUSE

The Guest House Saint-Joseph is open to all. Please note, however, that as the house is French, it is staffed by volunteers, most of whom speak neither Italian nor English.
