Among the shared facilities are a communal kitchen, a lounge with TV area and free WiFi throughout the property, while the shuttle service makes it easier to get to the city center. The location, rated 9.8 by guests, puts Roma San Pietro railway station within easy reach, just 350 meters away, and allows Castel Sant’Angelo, Piazza Navona and Campo de’ Fiori to be reached on foot or with a few minutes by metro. A practical solution for families and small groups who want to stay in the heart of the Vatican district.
The four rooms at Il Perugino Guest House share the same basic features: private bathroom with bidet and hairdryer, air conditioning, soundproofing, flat-screen TV with satellite channels and a kitchenette with fridge, microwave and kitchen utensils, handy for those staying a few extra days. The main differences concern size and capacity: from the 19 sqm Double Room, designed for two people, to the 36 sqm Quadruple Room, the most spacious, with a single bed, a sofa bed and a double bed to accommodate families or small groups.
The two Triple Rooms, at 24 and 25 sqm, offer the combination of a single bed and a large double bed, while the Double Room stands out for its view of the inner courtyard, a quieter choice compared to the street-facing rooms. All rooms are provided with bed linen and towels by the property.

This is the most compact room and the only one designed for two people, with a large double bed and a view of the inner courtyard, more secluded and quieter than the street-facing rooms. A private bathroom with shower and bidet, kitchenette and air conditioning complete the amenities.
Twin to the first triple room in terms of bed configuration, but with one square meter less and its own view of the quiet street. A private bathroom with shower and bidet, kitchenette, air conditioning and soundproofing complete the amenities.
