Hotel Details

Location

Just steps from the Vatican and a 3-minute walk to Ottaviano Metro, this apartment puts Rome's core within easy reach on foot or by transit.
The apartment is situated in the Prati district, a 4-minute walk from the Vatican Museums and 5 minutes from St. Peter's Basilica. Ottaviano Metro Station (line A) is a 3-minute walk, providing fast connections to Termini Station, the Spanish Steps, and other central landmarks. Many major sights-including Castel Sant'Angelo, Piazza del Popolo, and the Trevi Fountain-are within a 20-minute walk, making car-free city exploration practical. The immediate area is dense with restaurants, cafés, and shops; Old Bridge Gelateria and several local bakeries are a few minutes away. For airport transfers, Ciampino Airport is 18 km; a paid shuttle service can be arranged directly with the host.

Accommodation

This air-conditioned holiday home offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, and a terrace with garden views.
The apartment sleeps up to five guests across two bedrooms (one with a double bed, one with twin beds, plus a sofa bed in the living room). Both bathrooms feature walk-in showers, a practical setup for families or two couples avoiding morning queues. The living room includes a flat-screen TV with cable channels, a dining table, and a seating area. The fully equipped kitchen-stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine, electric kettle, coffee machine, and all cookware-supports self-catering and longer stays. The terrace overlooks the internal courtyard garden, providing a quiet outdoor spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation. Parquet flooring and large windows keep the space bright. The apartment is on the fourth floor with lift access.

Dining

Two on-site restaurants-Insalata Ricca and L'isola della pizza-serve Italian cuisine, with a snack bar and minimarket also available.
Both restaurants offer Italian dishes: Insalata Ricca is family-friendly and open for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner daily from 11:00 to midnight; L'isola della pizza serves lunch and dinner. A snack bar provides lighter quick bites. The apartment's well-equipped kitchen is a practical alternative for preparing meals, with grocery deliveries available. The surrounding streets are lined with cafés, bakeries (Old Bridge Gelateria, local pasticcerie), and supermarkets-Re-Bio and other shops are within a 3-minute walk. The market at Triomfale, a 5-minute walk, sells fresh produce for home cooking.

Wellness and Leisure

While the building itself does not have a spa or pool, the apartment's location puts Rome's cultural and leisure attractions within walking distance.
An ice-skating rink is nearby, offering a recreational option. The main leisure value comes from the surrounding area: St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican Museums are a short walk, and the metro provides easy access to the Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, and other historic sites. Families will appreciate the openness of the apartment itself-two bathrooms and a terrace-as a base for daily excursions.

Facilities and Services

Free high-speed WiFi, lift access, paid luggage storage, and a paid airport shuttle are key services; no on-site parking and no pets.
WiFi is free and available throughout the apartment. A lift runs to the fourth floor. The reception services include express check-in/out, private check-in/out, lockers, and luggage storage (additional charge). Paid airport shuttle, airport pickup, and airport drop-off can be arranged. On-site facilities include a minimarket, a shared lounge/TV area, a barber/beauty shop, and a hairdresser. Safety features: fire extinguishers, key access, and a safety deposit box. The host is responsive via text and has been noted for helping with transport arrangements. No parking is on-site.
