Residenza in Vaticano Roma is a guest house in the Aurelio district, about 1.7 km from St. Peter’s Basilica and 1.8 km from the Vatican Museums. The property has a garden, terrace and free private parking, features not always found in such a central area of the capital.
The rooms, all with air conditioning, a sitting area, flat-screen TV with satellite channels and their own kitchen, share a functional style designed for extended stays or families who want to cook on their own. Some room types offer a view of the city or the garden, while the bathroom is shared for all rooms, with toiletries, a bidet and a hairdryer always available. Breakfast, served with Italian and American options, is included in the stay.
The location, a few steps from Valle Aurelia and Cipro metro stations, makes exploring Rome convenient even without a car, while remaining in a residential and quiet area compared to the more touristy historic centre. A 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, bicycle rental and a shared kitchen complete an offer designed for those seeking a practical stay near the Vatican.

The main differences concern size, capacity and view, while the overall layout remains consistent throughout the property, geared towards a functional and self-sufficient stay thanks to the kitchen in every room.
