Gracchi 278 – The Italian Stay Collection is a bed and breakfast in the Prati district of Rome, about 300 metres from Lepanto Metro Station and less than 2 km from the historic centre. The property caters to those seeking a convenient base for exploring the city on foot or by public transport, without giving up a good level of quiet thanks to the soundproofed walls of the rooms.
The available rooms are essential but functional in style: equipped with air conditioning, flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with courtesy set and hairdryer, they differ mainly in size and type of double bed. There is also a common lounge available to guests.
The location is probably the most appreciated strength: the Vatican Prati district allows guests to reach the Vatican Museums and St. Peter’s Square on foot, while Lepanto and Ottaviano metro stations quickly connect to the rest of the city. For those arriving from or departing to Ciampino Airport, the property arranges a paid shuttle on request.
The rooms at Gracchi 278 – The Italian Stay Collection come in two types, both designed for couples or stays of up to two people. All rooms share air conditioning, soundproofing, a private bathroom with shower and hairdryer, a flat-screen TV and a kettle for tea and coffee: features designed to ensure a practical stay even for short stays in the city.
The main difference between the two types concerns the size and type of double bed. The Double Room, larger, offers a view of the inner courtyard and a large double bed, while the Budget Double Room is more compact and features a French double bed, making it a more economical solution for those looking for the essentials without giving up basic comforts such as air conditioning and soundproofing.
The larger of the two available room types, at 20 m² and with a view of the inner courtyard. Equipped with air conditioning, soundproofed walls and a private bathroom with shower and hairdryer, it features a large double bed, a kettle for tea and coffee, a wardrobe and tiled flooring.
More compact than the Double Room, at 15 m², it is the property’s most economical option. It retains air conditioning and soundproofed walls, with a private bathroom featuring a shower and hairdryer, and a French double bed instead of the large bed.
Gracchi 278 – The Italian Stay Collection offers a common lounge with TV area, daily housekeeping and luggage storage, useful for those moving around the city with flexible schedules. Private check-in and check-out allow for a more discreet arrival, while the paid airport shuttle facilitates connections with Ciampino and Fiumicino.
The property is entirely non-smoking and features marble or tiled floors, heating, soundproofing and a lift. Attention to safety is not lacking, with fire extinguishers, exterior CCTV cameras and controlled key access.
Rooms are equipped with a kettle for tea and coffee, hairdryer, complimentary toiletries and free WiFi throughout the property. Family rooms are also available on request, suitable for those travelling in groups or with children.
The bed and breakfast is located in the Vatican Prati district, an elegant and well-served residential area just steps from the Tiber, characterised by orderly streets, neighbourhood shops and a lively local life that is less chaotic than the historic centre. Via dei Gracchi, where the property is located, is a shopping street with bars and restaurants just a short walk away, such as Grekos just 10 metres away and Don Baguette 20 metres away.
Mobility is a strong point: Lepanto Metro Station is 200 metres away, while Ottaviano Metro Station is 700 metres away, both useful for reaching the centre and other areas of the city in just a few minutes. Flaminio Station is 850 metres away. For those arriving by plane, Ciampino Airport is about 14 km away and Fiumicino Airport is 18 km away; the property arranges a paid shuttle on request.
From a tourist perspective, the location is ideal for visiting the Vatican Museums, 1.1 km away, and St. Peter’s Square, at the same distance, both reachable on foot in about 15 minutes. Castel Sant’Angelo is 700 metres away, while Piazza Navona and the Trevi Fountain are 1.3 and 1.6 km away respectively, easily reachable on foot along the Tiber. Those staying in this area can therefore alternate visits to the great religious and cultural sites of papal Rome with strolls towards the historic centre, without necessarily having to rely on public transport for shorter trips.
