The location in the heart of Prati, 250 metres from Ottaviano metro station and just a few hundred metres from St. Peter’s Square and Castel Sant’Angelo, makes Domus Castroni Germanico a convenient base for visiting the Vatican and central Rome without relying too much on public transport.
Domus Castroni Germanico offers two room types, both air-conditioned and with a private bathroom equipped with a shower, designed for those looking for a practical base to explore the Vatican district. Parquet floors, a flat-screen TV and a wardrobe are common features of both options, which differ mainly in size and capacity.
The Double Room with Extra Bed, at 15 sqm, can accommodate up to three people thanks to an additional futon and stands out for its city view and complimentary coffee machine, ideal for families or small groups. The Double Room, more compact at 14 sqm, is designed for two people and comes with an electric kettle, while still offering all the essential comforts for a short or extended stay in the heart of Prati.
At 15 sqm, this is the largest room in the property and the only one to offer a city view and a complimentary coffee machine.

More compact than the room with an extra bed, this 14 sqm double room is designed for two people and focuses on practicality: a private bathroom with shower, wardrobe, electric kettle and heating complete a simple but functional room, with parquet floors and flat-screen TV for relaxing after a day of sightseeing.
