B&B Domus Aurea is a bed and breakfast in the Rione Monti district of Rome, about 900 metres from the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore and a few hundred metres from the Colosseum. The property offers air-conditioned rooms with independent entrances, designed for those who wish to explore the monuments of ancient Rome on foot without giving up the quiet of a family-run business.
The rooms, all with private bathrooms featuring toiletries, a hairdryer and a bidet, differ in their views and small details: some overlook the inner garden, others a quiet street, and one room type also includes a minibar. Every room has a flat-screen TV, a tea and coffee set, and in some cases a safe.
Breakfast, served with Italian and buffet options, can also be enjoyed in the common room, ideal for a chat before heading out to discover the Colosseum, the Imperial Forums or Piazza Venezia, all within easy walking distance or a short ride from the nearby Colosseo and Cavour metro stations.
B&B Domus Aurea offers three room types, all between 18 and 20 sqm, designed for couples or small groups of up to three people. Each room has a private bathroom with shower, bidet, hairdryer and toiletries, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a tea and coffee set, as well as an independent entrance that gives guests more freedom during their stay.
The rooms mainly differ in view and a few distinctive details: the Deluxe Room, the largest at 20 sqm, overlooks the garden and includes a sofa bed in addition to the double bed, making it the best choice for three travellers. The Double Room/Twin Room overlooks a quiet street and adds a safe, while the Double Room, with garden view, is the only one to offer a minibar in the room.
The most spacious of the three room types, at 20 sqm and overlooking the property’s inner garden. The sofa bed paired with the double bed makes it the ideal choice for a small group or a family, while the independent entrance and sitting area offer more freedom of movement than the other rooms.
At 18 sqm, this is the most compact room in the property, overlooking a quiet street rather than the garden. It is the only room type to offer an in-room safe, a useful detail for those travelling with documents or valuables during their days out around Rome.
A 19 sqm room with garden view, the only one of the three to feature an in-room minibar. A middle ground between the other two room types in terms of size, designed for couples who want a few extra comforts within reach.
