Tucked away steps from the French Market and Mississippi River in the heart of the French Quarter, the Hotel Villa Convento is a warm and cozy guest house, offering guests the personal service of seventh-generation New Orleanians, the Campo's. Rumored to be the legendary House of the Rising Sun, this building is a creole townhouse dating back to the 1830s.
Enjoy a cup of chicory coffee on the courtyard or be encapsulated by the sounds and smells of the French Quarter sitting on a balcony -- a stay at the Villa Convento will provide many memories, not just a place to rest your head. The balconies overlook romantic Ursulines Street, with views of the carriages passing by and the tops of ships floating down the river.

The Campo family, a member of the Los Islenos people, migrated to Louisiana in between 1778 and 1785 from the Canary Islands. An offer of free land from the Spanish government enticed them to come to New Orleans. The family has lived in New Orleans since then. Warren Campo Jr. is the great-great-grandson of the first Campo who immigrated to Louisiana.

Report
In the heart of the French Quarter, the Villa (as locals call it) its steps away from all the attractions. Located in the Lower Quarter, this side of the quarter is where locals live and play. The Upper Quarter is more touristy and commercial, but still only a 5 minute walk away. We are next to the Ursulines Convent, which is one of the oldest buildings in the Mississippi River valley.
