About

Vatican Italian Rooms

The location is the big draw: the Vatican and St. Peter's Square are within a short walk, and the metro station is right next door, making it easy to reach the rest of the city. The area is safe and lively, with plenty of cafés and shops nearby.

The guesthouse offers straightforward rooms, including a King Room and a Deluxe King Room. Each unit comes with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and tea and coffee facilities. Some rooms also have a small kitchenette with a fridge, oven, and stovetop. There's a shared kitchen available, plus free Wi-Fi, a lift, and express check-in/out.
