Hotel Collegio Gentile ***

Rating by guests: There are no reviews for this hotel.

The hotel is situated inside the Collegio Gentile complex, which dates back to XVII century, when it was restored by the Roman architect Giuseppe Antolini (1784), but its origin is even more ancient. In 1408 its occupants included the Benedictine convents: St. Maria delle Vergini, St. Antonio da Padova, St. Stefano di Vallecena and San Tommaso di Bocetis. In 1784 it was a female orphanage run by nuns and in 1924 the Fratelli di Nostra Signora della Misericordia settled here (a Congregation founded in 1819 by Venerable Vittore Scheppers). On the 26th September 1997 an earthquake struck leaving the building complex unstable and interrupting all the activities of the Collegio. In the same year Industrie Merloni offered to restore it and on the 30th October 1999 the restoration was complete. Now a comfortable hotel with 50 fully furnished rooms, other facilities include: a little breakfast room, internal football pitch and a boules rink. From inside it is possible to access the artistic Church of the “Fratelli di Nostra Signora della Misericordia”
