Casa di Ele is a guest house in the San Giovanni district of Rome, just 350 metres from San Giovanni Metro Station and about 1.7 km from the Colosseum. The property occupies an entirely non-smoking building and offers guests a terrace, a common room with a TV area and free WiFi throughout.
The three double rooms, all with private bathroom equipped with bidet, shower and toiletries, differ in size and view: from 16 to 21 square metres, overlooking either the city or the inner garden. Parquet flooring, a wardrobe, air conditioning and bed and bath linen are found in every room, designed for couples’ stays or short city breaks.
The location allows guests to walk to the Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano and Porta Maggiore, while the direct metro connection makes it easy to reach the historic centre, the Imperial Forums and the Trevi Fountain. A practical reference point for those visiting Rome without giving up the calm of a well-served residential area.
Casa di Ele offers three double rooms, all with private bathroom equipped with shower, bidet, hairdryer and free toiletries. Each room is furnished with parquet flooring, a wardrobe and air conditioning, and is designed to accommodate up to two people with a large double bed. Bed linen and towels are provided in every room type, as is the free WiFi connection available throughout the property.
What mainly sets the three rooms apart is their size, ranging from 16 to 21 square metres, and their view: one overlooks the inner garden, while the other two face the city. One of the rooms also has a sofa, useful for those who want a small relaxation corner in addition to the bed. Overall, the rooms are simple, bright and functional, suited to those looking for a practical and quiet base to visit Rome.
At 18 square metres, this is the most compact of the three double rooms. The private bathroom includes a shower, bidet and toiletries, while the parquet flooring and wardrobe complete a simple room overlooking the inner garden, a view no other room in the property offers.
The largest of the three rooms, at 21 square metres, also stands out for its sofa, which offers a small relaxation space in addition to the double bed. The private bathroom with shower and bidet, air conditioning and city view complete a room designed for more relaxed stays.
The smallest of the three room types, at 16 square metres, still includes a private bathroom with shower and bidet, a wardrobe and a city view. A compact yet functional room, ideal for those looking for an essential base without giving up air conditioning and parquet flooring.
Casa di Ele provides guests with common areas designed for relaxation, including a terrace and a common room with a TV area. The entire property is non-smoking, equipped with a smoke alarm, heating, a fan and window screens, with parquet flooring in the common areas and rooms. Internet access is free throughout the guest house.
Each room is equipped with a private bathroom complete with toilet, bidet, bathtub or shower, hairdryer and complimentary bathroom products, as well as bed linen, a wardrobe and an electrical outlet near the bed. A shared kitchen is also available, useful for those who want to prepare something on their own during their stay.
This combination of shared spaces and well-equipped rooms makes Casa di Ele a practical choice for those visiting Rome as a couple or in small groups, favouring the calm of a residential area well connected to the centre.
