Room types

BigFamilyRome – Aurelio&Vatican Rooms offers four double rooms designed for different needs, all with private bathroom and the option to accommodate two to three people. Two room types have a private bathroom external to the room, while the other two have an en-suite bathroom directly in the room, a more immediate solution for those seeking greater convenience during their stay.

The main differences concern bed configuration and capacity: some rooms have a French double bed, others have a large double bed, and one unit adds a sofa bed to accommodate up to three people, ideal for families or small groups. One of the rooms stands out for having dedicated air conditioning and a flat-screen TV, while the others offer a more essential but functional setup, with wardrobe, heating, and bathroom amenities such as shower and hairdryer.

Location & what to see

BigFamilyRome – Aurelio&Vatican Rooms is located in the Aurelio district, a residential area of Rome north of the historic centre, appreciated for its proximity to the Vatican but with a quieter atmosphere compared to the more crowded tourist areas. The setting reflects the Rome of local residents, with bars, bakeries and small neighbourhood restaurants just steps from the entrance.

Transport links are one of the area’s strengths: Roma San Pietro railway station is just 800 metres away, while Valle Aurelia metro station is 900 metres away, both useful for quickly reaching the city centre. The Vatican is about 1.9 km away and the Vatican Museums 1.6 km, a distance that can also be covered on foot in about twenty minutes. St. Peter’s Square is 1.4 km away, while Piazza Navona and Castel Sant’Angelo are just over 2 km away. Fiumicino Airport is about 16 km away, and Ciampino Airport 15 km.

Guests staying here can easily plan days between the wonders of the Vatican and walks in the area’s urban parks, such as the Vatican Gardens or Villa Doria Pamphilj, ideal for a green break away from traffic. In the evenings, restaurants just a few metres from the property, such as Corner 237 only 100 metres away, allow guests to dine without having to take public transport. In spring and autumn, the neighbourhood is well suited to long walks toward the historic centre, while in summer the proximity to the metro makes it easier to avoid the hottest hours by travelling underground.
