Domus Livia is a guest house set in a nineteenth-century building in the centre of Rome, just 50 metres from Repubblica metro station on line A.
The building retains a period charm, with classic furnishings, warm colours and bathrooms matching the rooms. The four accommodation types, from the Single to the Quadruple, are designed for different needs: solo travellers, couples, families or small groups will find a tailored solution here, with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels and free WiFi in every room. Continental breakfast is served directly in the room every day.
The staff offer assistance with tourist information and booking museum tickets, a service much appreciated by first-time visitors to the capital. The central location makes it possible to reach the Trevi Fountain, the Colosseum and Piazza della Repubblica on foot, while Termini station is just a few minutes away. Smoking is not permitted indoors and pets are not accepted.
Domus Livia offers four room types spread across a period building, from the Single designed for solo travellers to the Quadruple suited to small groups or larger families. All rooms have a private bathroom with shower, toiletries, bidet and hairdryer, as well as air conditioning, soundproofed walls, a minibar, wardrobe and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels.
The main differences concern the floor area, ranging from 12 sqm for the Single to 25 sqm for the Quadruple, and the bed configuration, with single-bed layouts for groups and one double room designed for couples. The Triple retains period furniture that recalls the building’s historic character, while the Quadruple offers two alternative bed configurations to better suit the number of guests.
At 25 sqm, this is the largest room in the property, ideal for groups or larger families. Soundproofed windows ensure peace and quiet, while the classic design with warm colours and a matching bathroom recalls the style of the nineteenth-century building. Two single-bed configurations are available to suit the number of guests.
The second largest room after the Quadruple, this 23 sqm room stands out for its period furniture that preserves the building’s historic character. It accommodates up to three people with three single beds, a practical solution for those travelling together without sacrificing space.
This is the most compact accommodation in the property, designed for solo travellers. It has a private bathroom with shower, toiletries, bidet and hairdryer, as well as air conditioning and soundproofed walls. Despite its smaller size, it offers the same level of amenities as the larger rooms.

Domus Livia is located on Via Nazionale, in the district surrounding Piazza della Repubblica, one of the most central areas of Rome. The street connects the Esquilino district to the historic centre and is lined with nineteenth-century buildings, shops and venues open late, with a lively atmosphere typical of the heart of the capital.
Repubblica metro station, on line A, is just 50 metres from the property, while Termini station is a few minutes’ walk away, around 650 metres. Those arriving by air can rely on Fiumicino Airport, about 19 km away, or Ciampino Airport, 12 km away, both connected to the centre by train and bus. Piazza della Repubblica is just 250 metres away, while the National Roman Museum is about 400 metres away.
The location makes it possible to visit many of the city’s most famous attractions on foot: the Trevi Fountain is 800 metres away, the Colosseum and the Imperial Forums just over a kilometre away, as are Piazza Venezia and the Spanish Steps. The Palazzo delle Esposizioni, 300 metres away, hosts contemporary art exhibitions throughout the year. In spring and autumn, walks towards the Palatine Hill or Villa Borghese, about 1.4 km away, are particularly pleasant, while in summer the many bars and gelaterias in the area, such as those just steps from the entrance, offer a refuge from the city heat.
