The property occupies a building with vaulted ceilings and offers contemporary-design rooms and suites, suited to those visiting the capital for cultural tourism or a couples’ getaway, given that the location is rated very positively by guests travelling as a couple.
All rooms are air-conditioned and equipped with a flat-screen TV, parquet flooring, kettle, minibar and safe. The private bathrooms include toiletries and a shower with chromotherapy; some room types offer a whirlpool bath or garden view. The range includes double, family and triple rooms, plus a two-room apartment with its own kitchen, suitable for longer stays or small groups.
Italian breakfast is included in the stay. The surrounding area, close to Ottaviano metro station, offers bars, restaurants and shops typical of the neighbourhood, while still providing quick access to the historic centre and the city’s main religious and artistic attractions.
The rooms at New Design St.Peter share a modern layout with air conditioning, flat-screen TV, kettle and a private bathroom featuring a shower with chromotherapy and toiletries. Parquet flooring and soundproofed walls characterise most room types, designed for couples as well as families or small groups.
The range spans from the compact 15 m² Standard Double Room to the spacious 21 m² Deluxe Room with Whirlpool Bath, along with the Family Room featuring a bunk bed and the Triple Room with an additional single bed. For those seeking more space, the 55 m² Two-Room Apartment offers two separate bedrooms, its own kitchen, balcony and city view, making it the most suitable option for longer stays or groups of four.
The whirlpool bath is the distinctive feature of this suite, the only one in the property to have one. It comes with a separate shower, garden view and inner courtyard, and is designed for those looking for an extra moment of relaxation during their stay in Rome.
Thanks to the bunk bed paired with the extra-large double bed, this is the most suitable room for families with children, accommodating up to 4 people. A private bathroom with toiletries and satellite channels complete the amenities.
This is the most compact room type in the property, with 15 m² designed for a couple. It offers a garden view, minibar and kettle for tea and coffee, while still maintaining all the standard comforts found in the other rooms.
Unlike the Deluxe Room with Whirlpool Bath, this 17 m² version includes a small sitting area separate from the sleeping area, as well as a garden view and minibar, making it a middle ground between the Standard Room and the whirlpool suite.
Designed for three people, it combines an extra-large double bed with a separate single bed, along with a private bathroom and toiletries. It is the most practical choice for those travelling as a trio without needing the space of the apartment.
At 55 m², this is by far the largest option in the property: two separate bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and a balcony with city view. Ideal for families or groups of four looking for independence.

New Design St.Peter is located in the Vaticano Prati district, a residential and commercial area just steps from Vatican City, popular with visitors coming to Rome for the city’s religious and artistic heritage. The building with vaulted ceilings sits in a quiet yet well-connected setting, close to bars and restaurants such as Zia Rilla and Il Colibrì, both about 50 metres from the property.
The Vatican Museums are about 350 metres away, while St. Peter’s Square can be reached with a 750-metre walk. Ottaviano metro station is just 150 metres away, providing a quick connection to the historic centre: Castel Sant’Angelo is 1.2 km away, Piazza Navona is 1.9 km away and the Trevi Fountain is 2.5 km away. Those arriving by air can rely on Fiumicino Airport, 17 km away, and Ciampino Airport, about 15 km away.
The area is well suited to stays focused on art and faith: besides the Vatican Museums, the Vatican Gardens, 850 metres away, and Piazza Risorgimento, 400 metres away, are worth a visit and serve as a starting point for those wanting to walk to the historic centre. In spring and autumn, queues at the Vatican Museums are shorter than during the busy summer season, making it easier to plan visits by booking the entry time slot in advance.
