The Double Room with Private Bathroom offers a city view over 18 m² with parquet flooring, while the Quadruple Room, the largest at 35 m² with three beds, is designed for families or small groups. The Deluxe Double Room, at 21 m², stands out for its tiled flooring and view of the inner courtyard, ideal for those seeking more quiet compared to the units with a city view.
The most compact of the three room types, at 18 m² with a city view. The parquet flooring and large double bed make it ideal for a couple on a short visit, with a private bathroom featuring a bidet, walk-in shower and toiletries.
This is the largest room in the property, at 35 m² and accommodating up to 4 people: the right choice for families or small groups. It combines two single beds with a large double bed, with a city view and the same fully equipped private bathroom as the other units.
The only one of the three overlooking the inner courtyard instead of the city, it offers more quiet thanks to the tiled flooring and a more secluded setting. At 21 m², it is slightly larger than the standard Double Room and features the same fully equipped private bathroom with bathrobe.
Domus Giovanna offers guests free WiFi throughout the property and air conditioning in every room, for a comfortable stay in every season. The building has an elevator and also offers family rooms for those traveling in groups or with children.

The property is entirely non-smoking and equipped with fire extinguishers, to ensure a safe and well-kept environment throughout.
Domus Giovanna occupies a floor of a historic building in the Prati district, an elegant residential neighborhood just steps from the Vatican, with shops, cafés like Me.Ca. and Carmine, and small restaurants just a few dozen meters from the entrance. The area retains the atmosphere of a genuine Roman neighborhood, away from the chaos of the major tourist routes but very convenient for reaching them on foot.
Castel Sant’Angelo is just 350 meters away, St. Peter’s Square 500 meters, and the Vatican Museums 800 meters, a distance covered in a ten-minute walk. For those traveling by public transport, Ottaviano Metro Station is 650 meters away and Lepanto Station is 750 meters away, both on Line A; Roma San Pietro railway station is instead 1.2 km away. The international airports are farther but well connected: Fiumicino at about 17 km and Ciampino at 14 km, both reachable by trains or dedicated shuttles.
Those staying here can dedicate mornings to the Vatican Museums and St. Peter’s Basilica, then cross the Tiber toward Piazza Navona (1.1 km) and Campo de’ Fiori (1.2 km) in the afternoon. In high season, it’s worth booking Vatican Museums entry in advance to avoid the longest lines, while in winter the area can be enjoyed at a more relaxed pace. Evenings are perfect for walks along the Tiber to Ponte Sant’Angelo, 400 meters away, or dinner at one of the neighborhood restaurants, some just steps from the property’s entrance.
