Gardoce’s Guest House is a bed and breakfast in Rome, in the Prati district, just 50 metres from Ottaviano Metro Station and about 400 metres from the Vatican Museums.
The rooms, all with private bathroom, air conditioning, flat-screen TV and minibar, offer city views and differ in size and capacity, ranging from more compact options for two people to solutions with a sofa bed designed for families or small groups. The independent entrance and daily housekeeping service make the stay practical even for those travelling independently.
The area, between Piazza Risorgimento and the Vatican walls, is lively with bars and restaurants just steps away, as shown by the presence of venues just metres from the entrance. St. Peter’s Square, Castel Sant’Angelo and the Vatican Gardens can be reached on foot, while the metro network quickly connects to the rest of the city. The property is designed mainly for couples, who especially value its location, but it also suits families well thanks to the availability of larger rooms.
The three room types offered by Gardoce’s Guest House share the same basic features: private bathroom with bathtub or shower and bidet, air conditioning, flat-screen TV with streaming services, minibar and city views, plus an independent entrance that ensures guests’ autonomy during their stay.
What sets the options apart is mainly size and capacity: starting with a more compact 21 sqm room designed for two people, moving to a 22 sqm version with an extra bed for three guests, up to the King Deluxe Room at 25 sqm, the most spacious, which with the sofa bed can accommodate up to four people. A range designed to suit both couples’ stays and small groups or families visiting the Vatican districts.
This is the most compact room type in the property, 21 sqm designed for two people with a French double bed. The private bathroom, although accessed from outside the room, features a bathtub, shower and bidet, plus complimentary toiletries. It is equipped with a minibar, flat-screen TV and air conditioning, with city views from the window.
Slightly larger than the previous room, with 22 sqm available, this room adds a single bed to the French double bed, bringing capacity to three guests: the most suitable choice for those travelling in three. Here too, the private bathroom with bathtub and bidet is just steps from the room, while air conditioning and minibar remain the same as in the other options.
The King Deluxe Room is the most spacious in the property, with 25 sqm and a bed configuration designed for families or small groups: the French double bed and single bed are joined by a sofa bed, for a maximum capacity of four people. The private bathroom with bathtub and bidet, the minibar and the city views complete the room’s features.
Gardoce’s Guest House offers non-smoking rooms with air conditioning, daily housekeeping and an independent entrance, as well as family rooms for those travelling in groups. Free WiFi is available throughout the property, while guests arriving or departing by air can rely on an airport shuttle organised directly by the property.
Each room has a private bathroom with bathtub or shower, bidet, hairdryer and complimentary toiletries, as well as bed linen, a wardrobe or closet and a small dining table or desk. There is also an electric kettle for those who wish to prepare a hot drink independently.
For entertainment, the rooms are equipped with flat-screen TVs and access to streaming services such as Netflix, as well as a minibar always available. The property is entirely non-smoking and guarantees quiet hours from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM.
