The rooms are designed for comfortable stays even of several days: all feature a private bathroom with bidet and toiletries, a flat-screen TV, air conditioning and a desk, with bed linen and towels included. One of the two room types also includes a full kitchen, ideal for families or extended stays.
The Prati area is appreciated for its proximity to the Vatican Museums and for its fast connections to the historic center via Lepanto metro station, just 350 meters away.

Il Giardino di Proserpina offers two room types, both featuring a private bathroom with bidet and toiletries, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a desk. In both cases the bed is a large double, and bed linen and towels are always included in the stay, with no need for additional requests.
What sets the two options apart is mainly the space and the internal fittings: the Family Double Room covers 47 square meters and is the only one with a full kitchen with a washing machine, designed for those staying longer or traveling with a child. The Double Room, more compact at 30 square meters, is designed for two people and includes a kettle for tea and coffee, a wardrobe and a view of the inner courtyard, with a more essential yet equally functional layout.
