Le Scalette Al Vaticano B&B is a bed and breakfast in the Trionfale district of Rome, about 550 metres from the Vatican Museums.
The property offers four room types, all with private bathroom, air conditioning and flat-screen TV: from the compact Double Room to the larger Deluxe Triple Room, designed for those travelling in three. Several units feature a balcony or terrace with city views, a detail that makes the stay particularly pleasant on Roman evenings. It suits couples and families who want to walk to the Vatican, but also those who prefer the metro: Cipro station is just 100 metres away.
In the morning a continental, Italian or buffet breakfast is served, while general services include an elevator, luggage storage and airport shuttle on request. The area, quiet but well connected, combines proximity to landmarks of Christianity with a residential atmosphere away from the historic centre’s traffic.
The B&B’s four rooms share practical amenities such as private bathroom, air conditioning, flat-screen TV and soundproofing, designed to ensure a peaceful rest even in a lively city like Rome. Sizes range from 12 to 17 square metres, with the Deluxe Triple Room offering the most space and the most flexible bed arrangement, suitable for small groups or families with one child.
Many units feature a balcony or terrace overlooking the city, a feature that sets this B&B apart from other options in the Trionfale area. The Double Room with Twin Beds allows guests to choose between a double bed or two single beds, useful for those booking before knowing the group composition. Every room is equipped with a coffee machine for breakfast at your own pace.
The most compact of the available rooms, with 12 well-organised square metres for a couple. It has a balcony with city views, perfect for a morning coffee outdoors, and a small shared terrace. Air conditioning and soundproofing ensure a good rest despite the proximity to the centre.
Larger than the standard Double Room, this 14-square-metre option stands out for its adjustable bed configuration: double bed or two single beds, ideal for friends or families booking without knowing the group’s preferences in advance. Here too there is a balcony with city views.
The most spacious room type in the property, with 17 square metres and capacity for three people thanks to the combination of a double bed and a single bed. Here too a balcony and terrace offer city views, making it the most suitable choice for small groups or families with one child.
Sharing its name with the first Double Room but larger, at 14 square metres. Unlike the other room types, it does not have its own balcony or terrace, but keeps the city view from the window and offers the same level of soundproofing and air conditioning as the upper rooms.

General services include an elevator, luggage storage, daily housekeeping and airport shuttle on request, useful for those arriving from Fiumicino or Ciampino with heavy luggage.
