Manderley Vatican is located in the Prati district, an elegant and orderly residential area north of the Vatican, characterised by wide tree-lined avenues and a dense network of local shops, bars and restaurants. It’s an area frequented by both Romans and tourists who want to stay close to St. Peter’s without staying amid the chaos of the more touristy historic centre.
The property is 300 metres from Ottaviano metro station and about 500 metres from Lepanto station, both on line A, which connects directly to the city centre and Termini station. The Vatican Museums are about 600 metres on foot, St. Peter’s Square 750 metres and Castel Sant’Angelo 850 metres. Piazza Navona can be reached with a walk of about 900 metres, while Piazza del Popolo is 1.3 km away. Rome’s two airports can both be reached by train or shuttle: Fiumicino is about 17 km away and Ciampino 15 km.
Guests staying here can dedicate their mornings to visiting the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel, booking entry in advance to avoid the longest queues, before continuing on to St. Peter’s Basilica and its gardens. In the afternoon or evening, the Prati district offers a pleasant walk along Via Cola di Rienzo, among shops and cafés, before crossing the Tiber towards Castel Sant’Angelo or heading to the historic centre to reach Piazza Navona and Campo de’ Fiori, lively especially in the evening hours.
