Casa Sotgiu Guest House is a guest house in Rome’s Prati district, just steps from the Vatican Museums and Castel Sant’Angelo.
The property occupies a period building on Viale Giulio Cesare and offers five room types, all air-conditioned, with private bathroom, minibar, safe and flat-screen TV with cable channels. Some rooms overlook the inner courtyard with a balcony, others offer city views, while the Deluxe Double Room is the only one with a bathtub.
Guests have access to a common lounge, room service and luggage storage, useful for those arriving or departing on flights from Fiumicino and Ciampino airports. Breakfast, served continental and buffet style, is included in the stay.
The location in the heart of the Prati district is one of the features most appreciated by guests, especially couples: the Lepanto metro stop is 250 metres away and allows quick access to the historic centre, Piazza del Popolo and the capital’s main attractions.
Casa Sotgiu Guest House offers five types of double rooms, all between 15 and 16 square metres and designed to accommodate up to two people. Each room is air-conditioned and features a private bathroom, minibar, safe, tea and coffee set and flat-screen TV with cable channels: amenities shared throughout the property that guarantee a comfortable stay regardless of the room chosen.
The differences mainly concern the view and a few distinctive details: some rooms have a balcony facing the inner courtyard, others overlook the city rooftops, while the Deluxe Double Room is the only one with a bathtub in addition to the shower. The bed configuration varies slightly: two room types can alternatively be set up with single beds, also suitable for couples who prefer not to share the same bed.
A 15 sqm room notable for its balcony overlooking the inner courtyard, a quiet and calm option compared to the rooms with city views. It’s the only room type that can alternatively be set up with two single beds, ideal for those who prefer not to share a double bed.
A 15 sqm Superior room with city views, private bathroom with shower, toiletries, bidet and hairdryer. Compared to the Deluxe, it has no balcony but offers the same large double bed and the same essential comforts for a practical stay.
Slightly larger than the other Superior rooms at 16 sqm, this room combines a balcony with air conditioning and a private bathroom, with no city view but a more private outlook.
With 16 sqm of floor space, the Deluxe Double Room is the only one in the entire property with a bathtub in addition to the shower, and offers slippers, city views and the option to choose between a double bed or two single beds.
The simplest room type in the property, with a queen bed, private bathroom with shower, toiletries and city views: a compact 15 sqm option designed for an essential stay.
