Habitas Roma Vaticano offers three double room types, all ranging between 14 and 16 square metres and equipped with an extra-large double bed. Each accommodation is air-conditioned and includes a private bathroom, flat-screen TV with streaming services and a balcony overlooking the inner courtyard, as well as a refrigerator, coffee machine and electric kettle for guests’ independence.
The differences between the three rooms mainly concern the size and a few distinctive details: the Deluxe Double Room with Tub, the largest, is the only one to offer a bathtub; the Deluxe Room with Balcony favours balcony space; the Double Room with Balcony, more compact, keeps all the essential comforts in a cosier solution, ideal for a short stay in the city.
The Deluxe Double Room with Tub is the most spacious of the three room types, with 16 m² of floor space, and is the only one to offer a bathtub in addition to the shower. It features an extra-large double bed, a balcony with a view of the inner courtyard, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with streaming services and an in-room coffee machine.
The Deluxe Double Room with Balcony covers 15 m² and stands out for its spacious balcony overlooking the inner courtyard, ideal for relaxing during the day. It is air-conditioned, featuring an extra-large double bed, a private bathroom with shower, a flat-screen TV and a coffee machine, without a bathtub.
More compact than the other two, the Double Room with Balcony measures 14 m² and is designed for those seeking an essential yet complete solution: an extra-large double bed, a balcony with an inner courtyard view, air conditioning, a private bathroom with shower and a flat-screen TV with streaming services.

Habitas Roma Vaticano is located in the Vaticano Prati district, an orderly and well-connected residential area, just steps from the border with the Vatican State. Via Gregorio VII, where the property is located, is lined with bars, small restaurants and neighbourhood shops, with a quieter atmosphere than the historic centre but still within walking distance of the city’s main religious and cultural attractions.
For getting around, Roma San Pietro train station is just 550 metres away, while Valle Aurelia metro station is about 950 metres away and Baldo degli Ubaldi station is 1.3 km away, both on line A. St. Peter’s Square can be reached in about 15 minutes on foot (1.1 km), while the Vatican Museums are 1.4 km away. For those arriving by air, Fiumicino Airport is 16 km away and Ciampino Airport about 15 km away; the property arranges a paid airport shuttle on request.
The district is a good base for visiting the Vatican without the queues found in more central areas: besides St. Peter’s Square and the Vatican Museums, the Vatican Gardens (850 m) and Castel Sant’Angelo, 1.8 km away along the Tiber, are worth a visit. In about 20-25 minutes on foot you can also reach Campo de’ Fiori (2 km) and the historic centre, with its network of squares, markets and trattorias. In spring and autumn, the area is well suited to long walks along the river towards Trastevere, while in summer many guests prefer to visit the Vatican sites early in the morning to avoid crowds and heat.
