Basco Guest House is a guest house in the historic centre of Viterbo, just a short walk from the Rocca Albornoz and the Fontana di Piazza della Rocca. The property, entirely non-smoking and allergy-free, offers rooms with independent entrance designed mainly for couples, who particularly appreciate its central location.
The rooms, all around 25 sqm, feature air conditioning, a private bathroom, soundproofed walls and a personal terrace: an uncommon detail for a guest house right in the historic centre. Each room also includes a wardrobe, flat-screen TV, coffee machine, bed linen and towels, making the stay practical even for those travelling without a car.
The location, rated 9.6 for a couple’s trip, allows guests to reach restaurants, bars and the Viterbo Porta Romana station on foot, while the thermal baths and the gardens of Villa Lante are just a few minutes away by car. A convenient base for exploring the Tuscia area with its historic towns, natural parks and Renaissance gardens, without giving up the peace and quiet of a directly managed accommodation.
Basco Guest House offers four room types, all with a consistent size of around 25 square metres and designed to accommodate up to two guests. Each room comes with air conditioning, a private bathroom, soundproofed walls, an independent entrance and its own terrace, a feature that sets this guest house apart from many other options in Viterbo’s historic centre. A coffee machine is also included in every room, useful for those who prefer to arrange their own breakfast.
The main difference between the rooms lies in the bed configuration: options range from a large double bed to the choice between a double bed and two single beds, up to a French double bed. All rooms share the same standards of comfort and privacy, making the choice more a matter of bed type preference than available amenities, consistent with the property’s focus on couples and small groups.
This room stands out from the others thanks to its double bed configuration, choosing between a large double bed and two separate single beds: a useful flexibility for two friends or a couple travelling together. It features a private entrance, soundproofed walls and a personal terrace, plus air conditioning and a private bathroom.
With a single large double bed, this room focuses on simplicity and shares the same 25 sqm size as the other room types. A terrace, independent entrance and soundproofed walls make it suitable for those seeking privacy and quiet during their stay.
Identical in features to the previous Large Double Room, this second unit offers the same large double bed and its own independent terrace: a good alternative when the first one is already booked, with the same level of comfort and privacy.
This variant is distinguished by its French double bed, different from the large double bed found in the other rooms of the same name. It retains a private terrace, independent entrance and soundproofed walls, offering a slightly different option for those who prefer this bed type.
Basco Guest House offers an environment designed for guest privacy, with independent entrances, private check-in and express check-out, and a daily housekeeping service. Security is ensured by closed-circuit cameras, a smoke alarm, a carbon monoxide detector and 24-hour surveillance, elements that complement a property that is entirely non-smoking and allergy-free throughout.
Each room features air conditioning, heating and marble or tiled floors, while the terrace with outdoor furniture provides a shared outdoor space. The bathroom includes a bathtub or shower, hairdryer, complimentary toiletries and complete linen, while the room also offers a coffee machine, electric kettle and wardrobe.
Pets are allowed upon request, potentially with an extra charge, making the property a flexible choice for those travelling with their pet.
