Why guests love itA solo traveler on a first trip to Rome found that breakfast set the tone at Hotel Donna Francesca. Each morning she carried her coffee to the rooftop terrace and sketched the day's route while the skyline was still pale and quiet. By evening she was usually out in the city, so the terrace stayed a morning ritual rather than a sunset spot. There is no bar scene or pool up there, only the view, and for her that was enough.
