VATICAN IMPERIAL APARTMENT 2840SQ FT, Rome

The apartment sits in Prati, a clean, quiet residential area with wide streets, elegant buildings, and a wide array of shops, cafés, supermarkets, and pharmacies just steps away. Lepanto Metro Station is a 5-7 minute walk, providing one-stop access to the Colosseum and other historic landmarks. St. Peter's Basilica, Castel Sant'Angelo, and the Vatican Museums are reachable within 10-15 minutes on foot, while Piazza del Popolo and the Trevi Fountain area are roughly 10 minutes in the opposite direction. The neighbourhood remains surprisingly calm despite its closeness to the main sights. The airport bus stop at Vatican is also nearby, and the host can help coordinate paid airport shuttle transfers.

The apartment accommodates up to 12 people with 8 real beds (not sofa conversions) across four separate bedrooms plus a sofa bed in the living room. All bedrooms and the living room have air conditioning, effective even in peak summer heat. Each of the five bathrooms includes a spacious shower with strong water pressure; the main bathroom features a large, walk-in shower. The living area includes a dining table, a flat-screen TV, and a fireplace. The kitchen is fully fitted with a stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, coffee machine, kettle, and kitchenware, plus a shared kitchen option. A washing machine is provided, and the entire apartment is soundproofed with double-glazed windows, keeping the interior very quiet. Rooms face the street, but the building's glazing and soundproofing eliminate most outside noise. The apartment is accessed via a lift and keyless entry (digicode), making self check-in and check-out easy and secure. Beds and pillows are consistently noted as comfortable, and the whole interior is decorated in a modern, well-maintained style.

There is no on-site restaurant or breakfast offering, so all meals need to be planned independently. The full kitchen contains a stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, kettle, coffee machine, and cooking utensils, making self-catering straightforward. For those who prefer eating out, the surrounding streets contain many restaurants, pizzerias, cafés, and gelaterias within a 5-minute walk - including Buoni Sapori Umbri, Tacito, MiVa, Portofino Caffe, Fish Show, Pizzeria San Marco, Gelateria Dei Gracchi, and 100 Centrifughe. A good supermarket and a pharmacy are also just downstairs, and the host provides local dining recommendations. A welcome Prosecco and snacks are offered upon arrival.

The property offers a hot tub and jacuzzi, which are fully accessible to residents. There is no on-site swimming pool, gym, spa, or dedicated wellness centre. For outdoor activities, optional walking tours, bike tours, and cooking classes can be arranged for an additional fee, often held off-site.

WiFi is available free of charge throughout the entire apartment. The building has a lift (elevator), ideal for guests with mobility concerns. Check-in is possible from 14:00 to 00:00 using a digital code - no physical keys are needed. Check-out is by 10:00. Express check-in/check-out and private check-in/check-out are both available. An airport shuttle can be requested for a fee after booking. Paid services include laundry (washing machine, dry cleaning, ironing), daily housekeeping, and babysitting. A safety deposit box is provided free of charge. There is no parking on site or nearby. Pets are not allowed. The building has CCTV, fire extinguishers, and a secure entrance.
