The four room types at Relais della Torre share a similar setup: independent entrance, air conditioning, soundproofed walls, flat-screen TV and minibar, plus a private bathroom with shower, bidet and toiletries. The rooms range from 14 to 18 square metres and are designed for two people, with the option of adding a third bed on request.
The two Junior Suites differ in outlook: the Deluxe version looks over the city, while the Balcony version adds a private terrace from which to admire Rome’s rooftops.

In all cases, bed linen and towels are provided by the property.
Air-conditioned suite with an independent entrance, overlooking the city. Consisting of a bedroom and a bathroom with shower and bidet, it offers a flat-screen TV, soundproofed walls, minibar and tea and coffee set. It is the largest room together with the balcony version, but here the view is enjoyed from the windows without private outdoor space.
Identical in size to the Junior Suite Deluxe, this suite stands out for its private terrace with city views, ideal for enjoying a coffee outdoors. Independent entrance, soundproofed walls and a bathroom with shower and bidet complete an accommodation designed for those seeking their own outdoor space.
More compact than the two suites, this room overlooks the inner garden and offers a private bathroom with shower, bidet, hairdryer and bathrobes. The independent entrance and soundproofed walls ensure privacy, while the furnishings remain more basic compared to the suites with a terrace.
The smallest room type in the property, at 14 square metres, still includes a private bathroom with shower, bidet and bathrobes, as well as an independent entrance and garden view. A compact option for those staying mainly to visit the city.

Relais della Torre is located in the Prati district, one of Rome’s most elegant residential areas, just a short walk from the Vatican. The square onto which the property faces, Piazza dell’Unità, is surrounded by shops, historic bars and typical Roman restaurants, in a lively urban setting yet far from the chaos of the busiest tourist centre.
Ottaviano metro station is just 300 metres away, while Lepanto metro station is 600 metres away: from here the historic centre can be reached in just a few minutes. St Peter’s Square is about 550 metres away and the Vatican Museums 600 metres, distances that can be comfortably covered on foot. Rome Ciampino Airport is 15 km away and Fiumicino Airport around 17.5 km away, both connected via a paid shuttle offered by the property.
Guests staying here can spend their days visiting the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel, then cross the Tiber towards Castel Sant’Angelo, about 700 metres away, and continue on to Piazza Navona, reachable with a fifteen-minute walk. On warmer evenings, the Vatican Gardens and the streets of the Prati district offer a quieter alternative to the historic centre, while in winter the many bars and restaurants in the area, such as those overlooking Piazza Risorgimento, remain a reliable option for lunches and dinners without straying too far from the accommodation.
