The rooms, all with private bathroom, free WiFi and air conditioning, include double and triple options; some feature a terrace with city or inner courtyard views and a flat-screen TV with cable channels. This variety makes the B&B suitable for both couples and small groups or families visiting the capital.

Thanks to its proximity to landmarks such as Campo de’ Fiori and the Pantheon, Relais Calamatta is a practical base for exploring Rome without relying on a car.
Relais Calamatta offers seven room types, all with a private bathroom and designed to suit different stay needs, from couples to small groups. The Double Room, at 15 sqm, and the Triple Room, at 18 sqm, are the only ones with a stated size and both offer air conditioning and a flat-screen TV; the Triple stands out for its terrace with courtyard views, ideal for those wanting a small outdoor space even in the city centre.
Alongside these are the Superior and Deluxe variants of the Double Room, and the Superior Triple, all furnished with a large double bed or, in the case of the Triple, a single bed alongside an extra-large double bed. Choosing between the different types lets guests prioritise space, view or capacity according to their stay needs, while maintaining the same standard of cleanliness and functionality throughout every room in the property.
A 15 sqm double room, the most compact in the property, with free WiFi, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with toiletries, shower and hairdryer. An essential and functional option, ideal for two people.
At 18 sqm, this is the largest among the rooms with a stated size, suitable for three people thanks to the combination of a single bed and an extra-large double bed. Air-conditioned and equipped with a flat-screen TV with cable channels, it stands out for its private terrace with courtyard views.
The Superior version of the double room, designed for two guests with a single large double bed. Compared to the standard Double Room, it offers a higher level of finish while keeping a compact and practical layout.
A second unit of the Superior type, identical in layout to the previous one with a large double bed for two people, but located in a different part of the property, useful for ensuring greater availability in case of multiple bookings.
The Deluxe type represents the most refined level among the double rooms at Relais Calamatta, with a large double bed for two guests and a layout designed for those seeking the highest standard available in the property.
A Superior version of the Triple Room, with capacity for up to three people around a large double bed. Unlike the standard Triple, it does not have a terrace, but offers a higher level of finish for those travelling in groups.
