Da Augusto is a bed & breakfast in Rome, in the Prati district, 350 metres from the Vatican Museums and about 450 metres from St. Peter’s Basilica.
The property offers air-conditioned rooms with city views, flat-screen TV and private bathroom with hairdryer, courtesy set and bidet: solutions designed for couples as well as small family groups, thanks to a quadruple room with a bunk bed. Guests also have access to a shared lounge area where they can relax after a day of sightseeing, and can start the morning with a breakfast that alternates Italian, vegetarian and American options.
The location, rated 9.9 by guests, allows you to reach Ottaviano metro station on foot in about 200 metres and Castel Sant’Angelo in less than a kilometre, while the surrounding neighbourhood offers bars and restaurants just steps from the entrance. A convenient address for those who want to experience the Vatican and the historic centre without giving up the peace of a residential street.
Da Augusto offers two room types, both with private external bathroom, air conditioning, flat-screen TV and city views, suitable for couples as well as small groups. The main difference lies in size and capacity: from the 15 sqm of the double room to the 23 sqm of the quadruple room, designed for those looking for more space without giving up an independent entrance.
The Twin Room offers two single beds and parquet flooring, while the Quadruple Room combines an extra-large double bed with a bunk bed, making it the most practical choice for families or groups of friends. In both cases the bathroom is equipped with a shower, bidet and courtesy set, and the wardrobe provides convenient storage for luggage during the stay.

Da Augusto is located in the Prati district, an orderly residential area a short walk from the Vatican, where tree-lined streets and neighbourhood shops alternate with bars and trattorias mostly frequented by locals. Piazza Risorgimento, just 50 metres away, is the area’s landmark and the natural access point to the Vatican Walls.
The Vatican Museums are 350 metres away and St. Peter’s Square about 450 metres, both comfortably reachable on foot in a few minutes. Ottaviano metro station, on line A, is 200 metres away and allows you to reach the historic centre and Termini station without changes; Roma San Pietro railway station is 1.3 km away. For those arriving by air, Ciampino Airport is about 15 km away and Fiumicino Airport 17 km, both connected to the centre by trains and shuttle buses.
The neighbourhood is well suited both to a visit focused on Vatican sites and to longer walks: Castel Sant’Angelo is 900 metres away, reachable on foot along the Tiber, while Piazza Navona and the historic centre are about 1.6 km away. In winter, the flow of tourists to the Vatican Museums is lower and it’s advisable to book entry in advance; in spring and summer queues increase, but the area remains lively thanks to numerous bars with outdoor tables, such as those around Piazza Risorgimento, ideal for a break before or after visits.
