Home Sweet Rome Vatican is a guest house in Rome, in the Prati district, about 550 metres from Lepanto metro station and 400 metres from Ottaviano station, in the heart of the Vatican area.
The property offers express check-in and check-out and free WiFi, features much appreciated by guests staying for just a few days who want flexible scheduling.

Home Sweet Rome Vatican offers two types of double room, both measuring 15 sqm and designed for two people. In both cases, the accommodation includes a private bathroom with shower, bidet and hairdryer, air conditioning, flat-screen TV with streaming services, independent entrance and a patio with city views, plus a tea and coffee set available in every unit.
The main difference between the two concerns the ability to cook: the Queen Room has a kitchenette with oven, hob and refrigerator, useful for those who want to prepare meals independently during their stay.

The property overlooks Piazza dell’Unità, a quiet setting with local shops, bars and restaurants, some just a few metres from the front door.
Walking distances are the strong point of the location: St. Peter’s Square and the Vatican Museums are about 600-650 metres away, Castel Sant’Angelo about 700 metres, and Piazza del Popolo just over a kilometre. Ottaviano and Lepanto metro stations, 300 and 550 metres away respectively, quickly connect to the rest of the city, while the historic centre with Piazza Navona and Campo de’ Fiori can be reached in about 15-20 minutes on foot or a few minutes by metro.

Guests staying here can devote a whole day to visiting the Vatican, starting early to avoid the queues at the Vatican Museums, then continuing towards the Tiber and Castel Sant’Angelo. In the afternoon, it’s easy to head towards the historic centre, between Piazza Navona and the Trevi Fountain, for a walking route through some of the city’s most photographed spots, with tasty stops at the many bars and restaurants in the Prati district.
