Couples particularly appreciate this area, rated 9.4 for a romantic stay, thanks in part to the intimate atmosphere of the Prati district compared to the busier streets of the centre.

The three available options vary mainly in size and extra features: from the compact 18 sqm Junior Suite to the larger Suite with hot tub, which exceeds 27 sqm and can accommodate up to three people with an extra-large double bed and a sofa bed.
Those looking for something extra will find a direct view of St. Peter’s Basilica in the Junior Suite Deluxe, while the Suite stands out for its sitting area and in-room hot tub, ideal for those who want to pamper themselves after a day of sightseeing between the Vatican and the historic centre.

The most compact room type, designed for two people, with 18 air-conditioned sqm and city views. Compared to the Suite, it does without the hot tub and sitting area, but still offers a private patio, access to the shared kitchen and the same essential features such as minibar and coffee machine, in a more intimate format suited to short stays.
Slightly more spacious than the standard Junior Suite, this air-conditioned double room stands out for its view of St. Peter’s Basilica, a detail that makes it the preferred choice for those who want to wake up with the Dome on the horizon.
