Medaglie d'Oro Vaticano – Guest House in Rome

Medaglie d’Oro Vaticano

Medaglie d’Oro Vaticano is a 4-star guest house in the Trionfale district of Rome, about 1.1 km from the Vatican Museums and 2 km from St. Peter’s Square. The property occupies an entirely non-smoking building and offers a common lounge, free WiFi and a car rental service in addition to airport transfers on request.

The rooms, all air-conditioned and soundproofed, are designed for guests seeking practical comforts rather than large spaces: a desk, coffee machine, microwave, minibar, safe and flat-screen TV with streaming services are available in every room, along with a private bathroom with bidet, towels and bed linen included. The Deluxe Room, the most spacious at 30 sqm with garden view, stands out from the two 20 sqm Superior Double Rooms with city view.

The area, served by Appiano railway station 400 metres away and Cipro metro station 500 metres away, allows easy access to the historic centre: Castel Sant’Angelo is 2.1 km away, while Fiumicino Airport is about 23 km away. Couples particularly appreciate the property’s location, rated 8.2 for a stay for two.

Room types

The three room types offered by Medaglie d’Oro Vaticano share a set of features designed for practical stays in a residential area well connected to the Vatican: air conditioning, soundproofing, private bathroom with shower, bidet and courtesy set, flat-screen TV with streaming services, minibar and tea and coffee-making facilities. Each room accommodates up to two people in a large double bed and includes bed linen and towels in the stay.

What sets the three room types apart are mainly the size and the view: the Deluxe Room measures 30 sqm, the largest in the property, and overlooks the inner garden, while the two Superior Double Rooms, both 20 sqm, look out over the surrounding city. The choice between the room types therefore mainly depends on the desired space and preferred view, while the basic comforts remain the same in every room of the guest house.
