B&B Prati is a bed and breakfast in the Prati district of Rome, about 2.1 km from the historic centre and just 100 metres from Ottaviano metro station, on the line that goes straight to the Vatican Museums.
The property offers two room types, both with private bathroom, air conditioning, flat-screen TV with satellite channels and soundproofed walls: a solution designed for those seeking simplicity and calm in the heart of one of the capital’s most elegant districts. Every morning guests can enjoy an Italian breakfast, also available as takeaway for those with tight sightseeing schedules.
The location is one of the features most appreciated by guests, with a score of 9.4 for its proximity to St. Peter’s Square, the Vatican Museums and Castel Sant’Angelo, all reachable on foot in just a few minutes. Couples in particular rate this area highly, ideal for those who want to move comfortably between Rome’s major religious and historic attractions without relying on a car, since no free parking is available on site.
The two rooms at B&B Prati share the same essential amenities: private bathroom with bathtub, shower and hairdryer, air conditioning, flat-screen TV with satellite channels, independent entrance and soundproofed walls to ensure privacy and rest even in a central area like Prati. Both also offer a city view, a detail not to be taken for granted for a property of this type in the heart of Rome.
What sets them apart is mainly size and capacity: the Double Room, larger at 14 sqm, accommodates up to 2 adults with a large double bed, while the Single Room, more compact at 10 sqm, is designed for a single guest with a single bed, making it the most suitable choice for solo travellers or those seeking an affordable option without giving up the property’s main comforts.

It is the ideal choice for a couple staying in the Prati district.
More compact than the Double Room at 10 sqm, the Single Room is designed for a single guest and features a single bed.

B&B Prati is located in the Prati district, one of the most elegant areas of Rome, known for its orderly grid layout of streets and its proximity to the Vatican. Via degli Scipioni, where the property is located, is a quiet residential street just a short walk from local shops, bars and restaurants such as Fratelli De Luca and Non Solo Pizza, both about 50-100 metres away.
Ottaviano metro station is just 100 metres away, while Lepanto Metro Station is about 600 metres away: both allow quick access to the historic centre and other parts of the city. Roma San Pietro railway station is 1.5 km away, useful for those arriving by train. Ciampino and Fiumicino airports are about 15 and 17 km away respectively.
A short walk away are the Vatican Museums, 550 metres away, and St. Peter’s Square, about 650 metres away, must-see stops for anyone visiting Rome at any time of year. Castel Sant’Angelo and Piazza Navona are also within a 15-20 minute walk, as is Piazza del Popolo. In summer, long walks along the Tiber towards Castel Sant’Angelo are particularly pleasant in the evening, while in winter the area remains lively thanks to the steady flow of pilgrims and tourists heading to the Vatican.
