Art Atelier Borgo is a bed and breakfast in Rome, in the Vaticano Prati district, about 600 metres from St. Peter’s Square and less than two kilometres from the historic centre.
The property offers air-conditioned, soundproofed rooms designed for couples or small groups visiting the capital: each one has a private bathroom with courtesy set, flat-screen TV with streaming services, minibar and a kettle for tea and coffee. Some room types can accommodate up to four people, making the property suitable for families or groups of friends visiting the Vatican Museums, just a few minutes’ walk away.
Common amenities include a shared lounge, free WiFi throughout the property and a shuttle service on request, useful for those arriving from Fiumicino or Ciampino airports. Private parking is available for an extra charge, a detail worth considering for those travelling by car. The area, lively with restaurants and cafés just steps from the entrance, is especially popular with couples, who rate the location with an almost perfect score.
The rooms at Art Atelier Borgo share a common set of amenities: private bathroom with shower, bidet and hairdryer, air conditioning, soundproofed walls, flat-screen TV with streaming services, minibar and a kettle for tea and coffee. All rooms overlook the city, with views that in several cases also include points of interest in the Vaticano Prati district.
The three available room types differ mainly in size and capacity: from the most compact, designed for two people, to the 18 sqm Triple Room, up to the 19 sqm Deluxe Quadruple Room, the largest and able to host up to four people thanks to a combination of single beds and a large double bed. The choice between rooms therefore depends mainly on the number of guests and the desired space, while the level of comfort and the amenities provided remain consistent throughout the property.
At 18 sqm, the Triple Room combines a large double bed and a single bed, making it the most balanced choice for two adults with a child or for three people who want more space than the Double Deluxe. The private bathroom is complete with shower, bidet and courtesy set, while the city view and soundproofed walls ensure a good level of quiet even in the heart of the Prati district.
This is the most compact room type in the property, with 15 sqm organised around a single large double bed, designed for couples looking for an essential yet complete solution. The private bathroom includes shower, bidet and hairdryer, while the room remains air-conditioned and soundproofed like the others, with a city view and minibar available.
The largest of the three room types, at 19 sqm with three beds in total (two singles plus a large double), it is the only one designed to accommodate up to four people, ideal for families or small groups visiting the Vatican Museums. Here too there is a private bathroom with courtesy set, minibar and a kettle for tea and coffee, with a city view from the soundproofed windows.
Art Atelier Borgo offers a range of amenities designed to make your stay in the Vaticano Prati district comfortable. In addition to free WiFi, the property provides a shared lounge with TV area, air conditioning throughout, heating, a lift and soundproofed rooms, as well as family rooms for those travelling in groups. Daily housekeeping and luggage storage make things easier even for those with tight schedules between the Vatican and the historic centre.
For those arriving from outside the city, a shuttle service is available, including an airport shuttle on request, useful for connections to Fiumicino and Ciampino airports. Guests can also book walking or cycling tours to explore the surroundings. Rooms come equipped with a safe, an iron and, for those who want them, complimentary toiletries, minibar and a kettle for tea and coffee, with flat-screen TV and streaming services for evenings at the property.
Art Atelier Borgo is located in the Vaticano Prati district, a tidy residential area behind St. Peter’s Basilica, halfway between the tourist bustle of the Vatican and neighbourhood life made up of shops, bars and Roman trattorias. Via dei Tre Pupazzi, where the property is located, is a quiet side street just a few steps from Piazza Risorgimento and the main roads leading to the centre.
St. Peter’s Square can be reached in about 450 metres on foot, while the Vatican Museums are just over 750 metres away: a 10-15 minute walk is enough to reach either. Ottaviano Metro Station, on line A, is 600 metres away and allows you to reach Piazza di Spagna and Termini station in just a few minutes; Lepanto metro station is even closer, at 800 metres. For those arriving by plane, Ciampino Airport is about 14 km away and Fiumicino Airport is 17 km away, both connected to the city with a shuttle that can be arranged by the property.
Stepping out of the B&B, restaurants such as Cantina Tirolese and Contorno Self Bistrot are just a few metres from the entrance, ideal for dinner after a day among the Vatican’s halls. Nearby, Castel Sant’Angelo and Ponte Sant’Angelo can also be reached on foot, both about 450 metres away, while heading towards the historic centre, in 15-20 minutes, you reach Piazza Navona and, a little further on, the Trevi Fountain. In winter the district is well suited to more relaxed museum visits, while in spring and summer evening walks along the Tiber, close to Castel Sant’Angelo, are one of the best ways to experience the area.
