Room types

The four room types at Lilla Suites – Musei Vaticani share a functional layout designed for guests who want to move around independently during their Roman stay: every unit has a private kitchen with hob, refrigerator, dishwasher and utensils, plus a private bathroom with walk-in shower, bidet and courtesy set. Air conditioning, minibar and coffee machine are present in all rooms, as is the washing machine, designed for longer stays.

What differentiates the room types is mainly the size and bed configuration: starting from the 15-square-meter rooms, designed for two or three people, up to the 26-square-meter Family Room, which can host four people. Three of the four rooms also offer a balcony, while the combinations of single beds, double beds and sofa beds allow for different occupancy solutions, from couples to small groups.

Location & what to see

Lilla Suites – Musei Vaticani is located in the Prati district, one of Rome’s most elegant and orderly residential areas, just steps from the walls that mark the boundary of Vatican City. The street is characterized by early 20th-century buildings, neighborhood shops and venues frequented mostly by Romans, with a less touristy atmosphere than the historic center but just as convenient for visiting the city’s main landmarks.

The Ottaviano metro station, on line A, is just 450 meters away and allows guests to reach the city center or Termini Station without changing lines. Castel Sant’Angelo is 1.5 km away, Piazza Navona 2.2 km, and the Trevi Fountain 2.8 km, all reachable on foot in a 30-40 minute walk. Fiumicino Airport is about 17 km away, and Ciampino Airport 15 km.

Those staying here can spend mornings visiting the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel, ideally booking entry in advance to avoid the longest lines, and afternoons strolling between Castel Sant’Angelo and the historic center. Nearby are also Monte Ciocci Park and the Monte Ciocci – Monte Mario Linear Cycle and Pedestrian Path, ideal for a green break with views over the city, especially during spring and summer months when longer days allow for scenic evening walks.
