Room types

Luxury Vatican Rooms offers two types of double room, both with private bathroom equipped with courtesy set, shower, bidet and hairdryer. Each accommodation is air-conditioned, soundproofed and features an independent entrance, flat-screen TV and city view, elements that keep the stay private even in a shared building in the heart of Prati.

The main difference between the two rooms concerns the size and bed configuration: the larger one, at 20 sqm, can accommodate up to three people thanks to a single bed combined with a sofa bed, while the second, at 18 sqm, is designed for two guests with an extra-large double bed. Both include a tea and coffee making set, handy for breakfast on your own, and soundproofed walls that favour rest despite the central location.

Location & what to see

Luxury Vatican Rooms is located on Via Crescenzio, in the Prati district, an elegant residential area a few steps from the Vatican walls, known for its orderly streets, neighbourhood shops and a café and trattoria life frequented more by Romans than by mass tourism. The property sits in a calm yet very central urban setting, just steps from Piazza Risorgimento.

St. Peter’s Square is about 350 metres away on foot, while the Vatican Museums are just 500 metres away. Ottaviano Metro Station, on line A, is 400 metres away and quickly connects to the historic centre and Termini Station; Lepanto Metro Station is 800 metres away. For those arriving by plane, Fiumicino Airport is about 17 km away and Ciampino Airport is 14 km away. Castel Sant’Angelo is 700 metres away, while Piazza Navona is just over a kilometre away.

The area is ideal for those wanting to visit the Vatican Museums and St. Peter’s Basilica without endless queues, perhaps by booking entry in the morning hours. Nearby there are several family-run restaurants, such as La Bottega al 105 and Roof – Trattoria sul Tetto, both less than 50 metres away. In summer, the riverside walk towards Castel Sant’Angelo offers cool evening strolls, while in winter the Vatican museums remain the main destination, helped by the milder climate compared to other Italian cities.

St. Peter's Square — The large square in front of the Basilica, the symbolic heart of Vatican City 350 m

Vatican Museums — Among the most visited art collections in the world, including the Sistine Chapel 500 m

Castel Sant'Angelo — Cylindrical fortress on the Tiber with a museum and panoramic city views 700 m
