Luciano Licia Guest House is a guest house located on the fourth floor of a building in the San Giovanni district in Rome, about 1 km from San Giovanni Metro Station and just over a kilometre from the Colosseum. The property is entirely non-smoking and offers free WiFi throughout, along with city views from several rooms.
The rooms, all with private bathrooms fitted with a bidet and toiletries, are designed for comfortable stays with family or friends: they feature air conditioning, soundproofed walls, flat-screen TV and a desk, with some room types also adding a balcony overlooking the city. Room sizes range from 19 to 36 m², suiting groups from two to six people.
The San Giovanni area retains an authentic atmosphere, away from mass tourism yet very close to the great monuments of ancient Rome: Domus Aurea, the Baths of Caracalla and the Arch of Constantine are all reachable within a few minutes on foot. The combination of a central location and affordable prices makes this guest house a practical choice for those wanting to visit the capital without giving up essential comfort.
The rooms at Luciano Licia Guest House share some basic features: private bathroom with shower, bidet and toiletries, air conditioning, soundproofed walls and flat-screen TV. All offer city views, a feature that characterises the entire property given its elevated position on a building in the San Giovanni district. The bed configuration always combines a single bed and a large double bed, with additional single beds in the larger room types.
The range includes seven options from 19 to 36 m², designed for groups from two to six guests. The more compact rooms are ideal for couples or small groups, while the King types with balcony offer more space and a direct view over the city, particularly appreciated by those staying with family or friends. The 36 m² King Room, the largest in the property, is designed for larger groups of up to six people.
One of the two most compact rooms in the property, at 19 m² and accommodating 3 people. It has a private bathroom with shower and bidet, air conditioning, flat-screen TV and city views, plus an electric kettle in the room.
Identical to the previous room in size and capacity, this 19 m² room offers the same essential features: private bathroom, air conditioning and city views, in a compact space suited to two or three people.
Larger than the standard double rooms, this 27 m² King Room introduces a balcony overlooking the city, which the smaller room types lack. It accommodates up to 4 people with a private bathroom fitted with a shower.
Identical in size and features to the previous King Room with Balcony, this second unit of 27 m² offers the same panoramic balcony and capacity for 4 guests, with a private bathroom fitted with a shower.
At 30 m² and accommodating 5 people, this is the third King Room with Balcony variant, more spacious than the previous 27 m² ones thanks to an extra single bed, suited to larger groups or families.
The largest room in the property, at 36 m² and accommodating up to 6 people: the only King Room without a balcony, it compensates with more floor space and a private bathroom with shower and bidet.
This 26 m² King Room with Balcony stands apart from the other variants due to its smaller capacity, up to 3 people, and the presence of a sofa in the room, ideal for those seeking more space without large groups.
