All have a private bathroom with toiletries and a hairdryer, a desk, a wardrobe and city views, while most rooms are air-conditioned and soundproofed to ensure quiet rest even during the day.
What mainly differentiates the room types is the size, ranging from 10 sqm for the single rooms to 26 sqm for the Deluxe Quadruple Room, and the presence of a balcony or terrace, available in several double and triple rooms. Some rooms, such as the Superior Double Room and the versions with a balcony, offer a private outdoor space overlooking the neighbourhood, while the Deluxe rooms add a flat-screen TV and more usable space for those staying several days.
Air-conditioned double room of 14 sqm with city view and en-suite bathroom. The soundproofed walls and flat-screen TV make it one of the most complete double options at the property, though without a private outdoor space.
With the same size as the Superior room but configurable with two single beds, this room is the most flexible option for couples who prefer separate beds. Private bathroom and city view, without air conditioning or TV.

St. Peter’s Basilica is about 700 metres on foot, the Vatican Museums 1.2 km away and Castel Sant’Angelo 1.1 km away; the historic centre with Piazza Navona can be reached in about 650 m-1.5 km depending on the route, while Campo de’ Fiori is 1.3 km away.

Evenings are well suited to dinner at one of the many local restaurants, some just a few metres from the property, or a walk towards Trastevere crossing Ponte Vittorio Emanuele II. On weekends, the neighbourhood comes alive with the local market and religious services in St. Peter’s Square, while in summer, open-air evenings along the Tiber are a welcome alternative to the city heat.
