St. Peter Area Luxury Suites is a guest house in the Aurelio district of Rome, about 1.9 km from St. Peter’s Basilica and 850 metres from Valle Aurelia station. The property occupies a residential building with a private entrance and offers non-smoking rooms, a common lounge and free WiFi throughout.
The five room types range from 9 to 18 square metres and are designed for different needs, from solo travellers to families with a child. All feature a private bathroom with courtesy toiletries, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and soundproofed walls; several units also add a balcony or terrace overlooking the inner garden, a detail that makes the property particularly popular with those seeking a quiet corner close to the historic centre.
The location in the Aurelio area makes it possible to reach the main Vatican sights on foot or by metro, and within a few minutes by train, the historic centre with Campo de’ Fiori and Piazza Navona. A convenient address for those visiting Rome who want to stay close to the Vatican without giving up connections to the rest of the city.
St. Peter Area Luxury Suites offers five room types, from the 9 sqm single-room solution to the 18 sqm largest one, also designed for families with a child thanks to the extra bed. All rooms feature a private bathroom with shower or bathtub, bidet, hairdryer and courtesy set, as well as air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and soundproofed walls that ensure a good level of privacy despite the central location.
What sets one room type apart from another is above all the outdoor spaces: some rooms open onto balconies and terraces overlooking the inner garden, while the two Deluxe Double/Twin Rooms offer a sitting area and a tea and coffee set. The bed configuration is flexible, with a double option or two single beds in different room types, suitable for both couples and those travelling with company.
This 14 sqm room is the first of the two Deluxe rooms in the property and combines a private bathroom with shower, bidet and courtesy set with a sitting area featuring a tea and coffee set, convenient for those who want to turn their stay into a small temporary apartment. Air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and soundproofed walls complete the amenities, while the windows open onto a view of the inner garden.
Identical to the previous one in size and amenities, this second 14 sqm unit is located in a different part of the building and offers the same flexible bed configuration, double or two single beds. The private bathroom with shower and bidet, the sitting area and the garden view remain unchanged, making it a good alternative for couples booking together or for two groups travelling together.
The most compact room in the property, at 9 sqm, designed for the solo traveller. Despite its limited size, the room has its own balcony with garden views, as well as a private bathroom with shower, air conditioning and soundproofed walls: a good compromise between price, privacy and comfort for short stays.
At 18 sqm, this is the largest room in the entire property and the only one designed to accommodate up to three people, including a child thanks to the extra bed. In addition to the standard private bathroom with shower and air conditioning, it also has a terrace overlooking the garden, ideal for families or small groups looking for more space without giving up privacy.
A 16 sqm room designed for couples, with a balcony and private terrace offering a direct view of the property’s inner garden. The private bathroom with shower, air conditioning and soundproofed walls complete a more intimate setting compared to the room with an extra bed, yet still generous in space compared to the other double room types.
St. Peter Area Luxury Suites offers a good range of services designed to make the stay practical even for those arriving without a car or staying for several days. The property is entirely non-smoking and has a common lounge with a TV area, daily housekeeping, a safe, an elevator and magnetic key access for independent entries and exits.
