Casa Orietta is a bed and breakfast in Rome, in the Aurelio district, about 2 km from St. Peter’s Basilica and less than 2 km from the Vatican. The property stands out for its shared garden and accommodations equipped with a full private kitchen, patio and air conditioning: a solution designed more for those seeking the independence of a small apartment than for a classic hotel room stay.
The two available room types, both with private bathroom and a view of the garden or inner courtyard, are suited to couples and families with children, thanks to the possibility of hosting up to two adults plus an extra bed for a child in the more compact option. Every unit includes everything needed to cook independently, from a stovetop to a fridge, as well as a coffee machine and electric kettle.
Breakfast, served on request in Italian, American or buffet style, rounds out an offering geared toward those who want to experience Rome at a homely pace. Valle Aurelia train and metro station is about one kilometre away, convenient for reaching the historic centre and the main Vatican sites without needing a car.
Casa Orietta offers two types of accommodation, both organised as small independent apartments with a full private kitchen complete with stovetop, fridge, microwave, minibar, coffee machine, electric kettle and toaster. In both cases the bathroom is private and air conditioning is guaranteed in every room, as is the view of the garden or the property’s inner courtyard, a detail that makes the spaces bright and sheltered from city traffic.
The main difference between the two options concerns the size and bed configuration: the King Room with Garden View is the larger of the two, at around 60 square metres with its own patio, while the Deluxe Room is more compact and also designed for two adults with a child. Both include a sofa bed in addition to the main bed, offering some flexibility for those travelling in small groups or with children.
The larger of the two available options, with around 60 square metres spread across a sleeping area, dining corner and fully equipped kitchen.

More compact than the King, at 25 square metres, this room is designed for two adults with the option of hosting a child thanks to the additional sofa bed. It has its own kitchen with stovetop, fridge and microwave, a patio and garden view, plus a desk useful for organising the stay.
Casa Orietta focuses on highly self-sufficient accommodations, with a private kitchen in every unit, including stovetop, fridge, microwave oven, kitchen utensils and even a toaster and electric kettle. The shared garden, with outdoor furniture and an open-air dining area, is one of the property’s strengths and is complemented by a private patio for each room.
General facilities include air conditioning throughout, heating, an independent entrance for the accommodations, and the availability of an iron and ironing board. The property is entirely non-smoking, with a dedicated outdoor smoking area, and is equipped with carbon monoxide detectors and fire extinguishers for guest safety.
Every private bathroom is fitted with a shower, complimentary toiletries, a hairdryer and linens provided by the property. Free WiFi internet access is available throughout the property, while each room also features a sitting area with a sofa, ideal for relaxing after a day out exploring Rome.
Casa Orietta is located in the Aurelio district, a residential area west of the Vatican that retains a quiet character despite being just minutes from the city’s busiest sights. The property’s garden and the private patios of the rooms offer a quiet retreat, while the surrounding streets feature small neighbourhood bars and restaurants, such as Corner 237 and Little Italy 215, both about 200 metres away.
Getting around is made easy by the proximity of two public transport hubs: Roma San Pietro train station is about 900 metres away, while Valle Aurelia metro station, on line A, is about 1 km away and allows the historic centre to be reached in just a few minutes. St. Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican Museums are less than 2 km away, as is St. Peter’s Square, reachable in a walk of about twenty minutes. Rome Fiumicino Airport is about 23 km away, and Ciampino Airport is 15 km away.
Guests staying here can easily dedicate one day to the Vatican area, visiting the Vatican Museums and the Vatican Gardens, and another to the historic centre, with Campo de’ Fiori 3 km away and Piazza Navona about 2.5 km away. For a break in green surroundings, Villa Doria Pamphilj and Monte Ciocci Park are both just over a kilometre away, ideal for a walk or a run, especially during the hotter months when the city centre gets crowded.
