Guest House Vanvitelli is a family-run guest house located in the centre of Civitavecchia, 700 metres from Il Pirgo Beach and just 250 metres from the train station. The property is aimed at those looking for a practical base to explore the Lazio coastline or to board ferries to Sardinia and Corsica, without giving up independent and comfortable spaces.
The six available rooms, all with private bathroom, air conditioning and kitchenette, differ in size and view: from the more compact doubles of 14 square metres to the quadruple rooms of 21 square metres with bunk bed, including a version with a balcony overlooking the garden. Each room is soundproofed and equipped with a flat-screen TV, dining area and coffee machine, designed for both short and extended stays.
The shared garden and free WiFi throughout the property complete an offering that favours guests’ independence. The central location makes it possible to reach bars, restaurants and the city’s main historic sites on foot, while Fiumicino Airport remains less than an hour away by car.
The six room types at Guest House Vanvitelli share the same basic layout and amenities: private bathroom with shower, air conditioning, kitchenette complete with hob, fridge, kettle and microwave, plus a flat-screen TV and soundproofed walls. They are designed for those who want to manage their own schedule without relying on bars or restaurants, thanks to the indoor dining area and coffee machine present in every unit.
The range varies in size and configuration: from the more compact doubles of 14 square metres to the quadruple rooms of 21 square metres with bunk bed, up to the Deluxe Double Room with Balcony, the only one with a direct view over the inner garden. Most rooms offer a view of the city or a nearby landmark, a detail that still gives a sense of openness even in the smaller spaces.
The largest of the double rooms, at 17 square metres and able to accommodate three people thanks to the extra single bed. It has a private bathroom with bidet, a full kitchenette and views of the city, inner courtyard and nearby landmarks, a mix of views not found in the other units.
A compact double room of 14 square metres, designed for two people, with a private bathroom featuring a shower and hairdryer. The full kitchenette and city view make it suitable for short, fully independent stays, without the extra space of the larger rooms.
At 21 square metres, this is the largest room in the property, suitable for families or small groups thanks to the bunk bed paired with the double bed. The private bathroom includes a bidet, and the view takes in both the city and the surrounding landmarks.
The only room type with a private balcony, overlooking the property’s inner garden: a detail that clearly sets it apart from the other 14-square-metre doubles. Private bathroom, kitchenette and flat-screen TV complete a room designed for those seeking a small personal outdoor space.
A second 14-square-metre double room, twin to the standard Deluxe but with a separate private entrance: a useful option for those seeking more privacy during their stay. Private bathroom with shower, kitchenette and city view complete the amenities.
A second 21-square-metre quadruple room, with the same combination of bunk bed and double bed as its twin, but with a private bathroom without a bidet and an entrance separate from the rest of the property. It remains the most suitable room for families with children or groups of friends.
Guest House Vanvitelli provides a shared garden with outdoor furniture, ideal for a moment of relaxation away from the traffic of the town centre. The entire property is non-smoking, equipped with heating, air conditioning and soundproofing, with a private entrance for guests and rooms also designed for families.
Each unit includes a private bathroom with shower, free toiletries, hairdryer and bed linen, as well as a kitchenette with hob, fridge, electric kettle and microwave oven: a setup that allows guests to prepare meals independently. Free internet access is also available throughout the property, along with a flat-screen TV with streaming services and satellite channels.
For those arriving without a car, the proximity to Civitavecchia train station also makes the property convenient for those travelling along the coast by public transport.
Guest House Vanvitelli is located in the heart of Civitavecchia, a port city on the northern Lazio coast known primarily as a departure point for ferries to Sardinia, Corsica and Sicily. The neighbourhood around the property is residential and lively, with bars, restaurants and local shops just a few steps away: Kokusai restaurant is only 30 metres away, while Bar Breezy is about 50 metres away.
Civitavecchia train station is just 250 metres away, a convenient connection for those wishing to travel along the Tyrrhenian coast or reach Rome in about an hour by train. Il Pirgo Beach, the closest one, is 200 metres from the property, while the commercial port and ferry terminals can be reached on foot in a few minutes. Rome Fiumicino Airport is 46 km away, a practical option for those arriving or departing by plane without having to cross the entire capital.
In summer, the proximity to the sea makes the area ideal for those who want to alternate swimming with exploring the historic centre, with sites such as Porta Livorno, 650 metres away, and the Fortino del Lazzaretto, about 850 metres away, testimonies to the city’s fortifications. Il Bosco Incantato, an urban park 750 metres away, is a green alternative for a walk even outside the summer season. In the cooler months, Civitavecchia remains a busy transit point thanks to its port, while the beaches of Grotta Aurelia and Valdaliga, slightly further away, offer additional stretches of coastline to explore in the low season, when the shore is less crowded.
