Royal House Vaticano is a guest house in Rome, in the Monte Mario area, about 900 metres from Cipro metro station and just over a kilometre from the Vatican Museums. The property offers a terrace, a sun terrace, free WiFi in all areas and private on-site parking, convenient for those arriving by car in a city where finding a spot is never a given.
The rooms, all with private bathroom, air conditioning, flat-screen TV, refrigerator and electric kettle, open onto balconies or terraces overlooking the inner courtyard; some room types also feature a whirlpool bathtub, a detail that sets them apart from the simpler options. Guests also have access to a shared kitchen with coffee machine, refrigerator and toaster, useful for those who want to prepare something on their own during their stay.
The location is especially appreciated by couples who want to stay close to the Vatican without giving up a quiet, residential setting: St. Peter’s Basilica is 2 km away, while Fiumicino Airport is about 32 km away.
Royal House Vaticano offers four room types, all with private bathroom, air conditioning, soundproofed walls, a terrace overlooking the inner courtyard and access to a fully equipped kitchen with refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave and utensils. Each accommodation is designed to give guests a degree of independence, thanks to the option of preparing meals directly in the room or in the property’s shared kitchen.
What sets the various options apart is the size, ranging from 15 sqm for the most compact room to 25 sqm for the one designed for families or small groups, and the presence of a whirlpool bathtub in two of the four room types offered. The Quadruple Room, the only one that can accommodate up to 4 people with a double bed and two single beds, stands out for its larger surface area and extra space, while the double rooms remain the ideal choice for couples travelling together.
The largest of the property’s double rooms, at 22 sqm, with a whirlpool bathtub combined with a jacuzzi-style bath, plus a private bathroom with a walk-in shower. The in-room kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher, refrigerator and microwave, while the terrace overlooks the inner courtyard.
The most compact room in the property, at 15 sqm, designed for those looking for a simple, no-frills option without a whirlpool bathtub. It still features an equipped kitchen with refrigerator and dishwasher, a terrace overlooking the inner courtyard and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower.
The largest room in the property, at 25 sqm, the only one that can accommodate up to 4 people thanks to the double bed combined with two single beds. Suited to families or small groups, it offers a full kitchen, a terrace with courtyard view and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower.
A second variant of the room with a whirlpool bathtub, slightly more compact than the first (20 sqm versus 22), but with the same features: a whirlpool bath, an equipped kitchen, a terrace with courtyard view and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Royal House Vaticano is located in the Della Vittoria district, at the foot of Monte Mario, a residential area north of Rome’s historic centre that offers a quiet setting while remaining a short distance from the Vatican. The neighbourhood is served by local shops, bars and restaurants, such as Teresina and Il Bazar dello Zucchero, both just 50 metres from the property, as well as several cafés a few hundred metres away.
Getting around is made easy by the proximity to two metro stations: Cipro at 800 metres and Ottaviano at 900 metres, both on Line A, useful for reaching the historic centre in just a few minutes. The Vatican Museums are about 900 metres away, St. Peter’s Square 1.4 km, and Castel Sant’Angelo 2 km. For those arriving by plane, Fiumicino Airport is about 17 km away, while Ciampino is 16 km away.
The area is well suited to walks in green surroundings thanks to the nearby Monte Ciocci-Monte Mario Cycle and Pedestrian Linear Park and Monte Ciocci Park, both about 900 m-1.3 km away, ideal for a break outdoors away from city traffic. For those who want to venture further, Piazza del Popolo is 2.2 km away and the Trevi Fountain 3.2 km, both reachable on foot or with a short metro ride. In summer, the proximity to the Vatican Gardens and the green spaces of Monte Mario keeps the area cooler than the city centre, while in winter the closeness to the main museum hubs remains an advantage for indoor visits.
