Relais Colonna is a guest house in the Prati district of Rome, 350 metres from Castel Sant’Angelo and about a 15-minute walk from St. Peter’s Square. The property stands out for its attention to detail and for some rooms fitted with a hot tub, a rare feature for this type of accommodation in the historic centre of the capital.
The rooms, all with private bathroom, are designed for couples: they feature air conditioning, a flat-screen satellite TV, minibar and a tea and coffee making set, with bathrooms equipped with a hairdryer, slippers and free toiletries. Breakfast, served in a nearby café, offers a continental or American option on request.
Among the services offered, luggage storage, a ticket service and the option to request massages on site stand out. The location is particularly appreciated by couples, thanks to the proximity of historic squares such as Piazza Navona and Piazza di Spagna, both reachable in a few minutes on foot, making Relais Colonna a practical base for exploring central Rome without needing a car.
Relais Colonna offers three types of accommodation designed for couples, all with private bathroom, air conditioning, flat-screen satellite TV and a tea and coffee making set. Sizes range from 20 to 30 square metres, offering different solutions depending on space needs, while soundproofing ensures a good level of peace and quiet despite the central location.
What makes the difference are the two suites, both featuring a separate bedroom and a large double bed: the Suite with Hot Tub, the largest at 27 sqm, also includes a hot tub in the bathroom, while the standard Suite, the biggest in the range at 30 sqm, focuses on even more generous space. The Double Room, more compact at 20 sqm, remains the most essential choice but still complete with all the basic comforts.
