San Silverio B&B is a bed and breakfast in the Aurelio district of Rome, about one kilometre from St. Peter’s Square and the Vatican Museums. The property occupies a residential building in the area and is designed for those seeking a practical stay close to the Vatican attractions, with a 24-hour front desk and the option of private or express check-in and check-out.
The available rooms are double/twin types with single beds, all featuring a balcony, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with toiletries. There are also a few extra comforts such as a minibar, coffee machine and electric kettle, useful for guests who want to manage small moments of the day independently without going down to the on-site bar.
In the morning, guests can enjoy an Italian breakfast, praised in reviews along with the kindness of the staff. The location in the Aurelio district, served by the nearby Roma San Pietro railway station and the Valle Aurelia metro stop, makes the property convenient both for those arriving by train and for those who want to walk to the historic centre.
The rooms at San Silverio B&B are double/twin types with single beds, all around 21 square metres and designed to accommodate up to two people.

The constant presence of a minibar and coffee machine in every room allows guests to organise their day with greater independence, without always having to go down to the property’s bar.
The main difference between the two room types offered concerns the bed configuration: one version offers two large double beds, more suited to those travelling in company and wanting greater freedom of movement, while the other offers just one, making it more suitable for a couple. Both share the same basic layout and the same balcony view, ensuring a good level of natural light and the chance to get some fresh air during the stay.
This version of the room offers two large double beds, making it the most suitable choice for those travelling as two couples or with friends and wanting more space in bed. It features a balcony, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with cable channels and a private bathroom with toiletries.
With just one large double bed, this room type is designed mainly for couples, keeping the same 21 sqm size and the same amenities as the other rooms, from the balcony and air conditioning to the private bathroom with bathrobe.
San Silverio B&B offers guests an on-site bar with a coffee corner and snack bar, convenient for a break without leaving the property, as well as an in-room minibar and kettle for tea and coffee.

Every room has a private bathroom with bidet, complimentary toiletries and a bathrobe, as well as a wardrobe, desk and bed linen. General facilities include a safe, heating, a lift and soundproofed rooms, as well as family rooms and accommodation suitable for guests with hearing disabilities.
The property is entirely non-smoking and offers free WiFi throughout, as well as a flat-screen TV with cable channels in every room. The combination of these services makes the B&B suitable both for short stays linked to religious and cultural visits and for longer stays.
San Silverio B&B is located in the Aurelio district, a residential area close to the border with Vatican City, quiet yet well connected to the rest of the city. The street is lined with residential buildings, small bars and neighbourhood restaurants, ideal for those seeking an authentic base without giving up proximity to Rome’s main religious and cultural attractions.
The property is about 450 metres from Roma San Pietro railway station and just over a kilometre from the Valle Aurelia metro station on line A, convenient for reaching the historic centre in a few minutes. St. Peter’s Square and the Vatican Museums are about 1.1-1.4 km away, while Castel Sant’Angelo is 1.7 km away. The centre with Campo de’ Fiori is 1.9 km away and Piazza Navona about 2 km, distances that can be covered on foot in half an hour or in a few minutes by public transport. Rome Fiumicino Airport is 16 km away, and Ciampino Airport is about 15 km away.
Those staying here can spend their days visiting St. Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican Museums, perhaps walking as far as the Vatican Gardens or Monte Ciocci Park for a green break with views over the city. Nearby are also the Gianicolo Belvedere and Villa Lante, panoramic spots especially appreciated in the evening. For evenings, the neighbourhood’s restaurants and bars, such as Jasmine just steps from the property, offer a more authentic alternative to the more touristy areas of the centre.
