Residenza Il Duca is a guest house in the historic centre of Rome, a two-minute walk from Piazza Campo de’ Fiori, in one of the liveliest areas of Roman life. Each individually decorated room comes with a flat-screen TV, air conditioning, free WiFi and a private bathroom with hairdryer; many also offer an electric kettle and an espresso machine for tea and coffee whenever you like.
The property is designed for travellers who want to explore the city’s landmarks on foot: Piazza Navona, the Pantheon and the Trastevere district are around ten minutes away, while Largo di Torre Argentina, with its bus and tram stops, is just 200 metres away. Check-in takes place exclusively via app, a useful detail to know before arrival.
It’s a good fit for guests seeking an independent, well-located stay, particularly appreciated by couples, who rated the location 9.5. The area, lined with restaurants, bars and historic shops, stays lively well into the evening.
The rooms at Residenza Il Duca share a common setup: large double bed, air conditioning, flat-screen TV and private bathroom with shower and hairdryer, often complemented by a bidet and toiletries. The décor is individually styled in each unit, with parquet flooring, a wardrobe and, in some cases, a safe and an electric kettle for tea and coffee.
What sets the eight room types apart is mainly the size, ranging from 15 to 20 square metres, and whether or not there is a private balcony overlooking the inner courtyard or a quiet street in the area. Superior rooms offer a few extra square metres or additional amenities such as an espresso machine, while the balcony versions allow guests to enjoy their own outdoor space, ideal for couples staying in the heart of Rome.
The simplest room type in the property, with a view of the inner courtyard and the same basic amenities as the other rooms: air conditioning, flat-screen TV and private bathroom with hairdryer. Unlike most of the other rooms, it does not have a balcony.
Compared to the Economy room, this one adds a furnished private balcony overlooking the inner courtyard and includes extra perks such as free early check-in, free luggage storage and a discount on the airport taxi.
At 20 square metres, this is among the largest rooms in the property, with a private balcony overlooking the inner courtyard and a spacious wardrobe, plus a private bathroom with shower.
The same generous 20 square metres as the previous room, but with a balcony overlooking a quiet street instead of the inner courtyard: a better fit for those who prefer a view of the Roman street below.

Again no balcony here, but the private bathroom comes complete with bidet and toiletries, plus a safe and an electric kettle: a practical option for those wanting extra touches without outdoor space.
A compact 15-square-metre room with a private balcony overlooking the inner courtyard, the smallest option among those with outdoor space.
A 20-square-metre room with a balcony overlooking a quiet street, a wardrobe and a private bathroom with shower: the combination of size and street view makes it one of the most balanced choices in the property.

Residenza Il Duca is located in the Regola district, between Campo de’ Fiori and Piazza Navona, in one of the most historically dense stretches of Rome’s old town. Around the property, narrow lanes, artisan shops and small restaurants such as Pianostrada and Osteria Romana, both just 50 metres away, follow one after another: an area lived in by both Romans and visitors, lively well into the evening yet still pedestrian-friendly.
Campo de’ Fiori is 350 metres away, Piazza Navona around 650 metres, and Largo di Torre Argentina, with its bus and tram stops for getting around the city, 450 metres away. The Pantheon and Trastevere can be reached in about ten minutes on foot, while the Trevi Fountain is 1.3 km away and Castel Sant’Angelo 1.2 km. Roma San Pietro railway station is 1.6 km away, and Ciampino and Fiumicino airports are 13 and 18 km away respectively.
Guests staying here can spend their days strolling through historic squares, visiting the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, just over 1 km away, or enjoying evenings among the venues of Trastevere. In spring and autumn, the neighbourhood is well suited to long evening walks, while in summer the cooler morning hours are ideal for visiting the archaeological sites before the crowds arrive.
