Testa Gioacchino B&B is a family-run bed and breakfast in the Tiburtino district of Rome, just a few metres from Monti Tiburtini Metro Station.
The property stands out for its panoramic terrace with city views, a detail that makes the stay special even in a residential setting far from the historic centre. The rooms, four different types varying in size and privacy, range from the single with shared bathroom at 10 sqm to the double with private bathroom at 16 sqm, up to the larger basic double room at 22 sqm. Several units offer a balcony, city view or garden view, air conditioning and a coffee machine.
Every morning an Italian breakfast is served, appreciated by guests along with the staff’s helpfulness, rated very highly. The location, although outside the historic centre, is well connected: Monti Tiburtini metro station is 100 metres away and Tiburtina station is about 1.5 km away, convenient for those arriving by train or needing to move quickly towards the centre of Rome and its main monuments.
Testa Gioacchino B&B offers four room types designed for different needs, from the solo traveller to a small group of three people. The options vary in size, from 10 to 22 square metres, and in level of privacy: some have a private bathroom, while others share facilities with other rooms in the bed and breakfast. In common, many units offer a flat-screen TV, coffee machine and free WiFi connection, features that make the stay practical even for longer periods.
Those seeking more privacy can choose the rooms with private bathroom and air conditioning, while the options with shared bathroom are more affordable and suited to those travelling on a tighter budget. Several rooms enjoy a balcony or city view, an added value in a residential neighbourhood like Tiburtino, and the bed arrangement, between single and large or extra-large double beds, allows the choice to be adapted to the number of guests and everyone’s preferences.
Private room of 16 sqm with en-suite bathroom, among the most versatile in the property thanks to the flexible bed configuration between two singles or one large double bed. Equipped with air conditioning, flat-screen TV and views over the garden, city and inner courtyard, plus a private balcony that sets it apart from rooms without an outdoor view.
The smallest and most affordable of the four room types, designed for the solo traveller. Unlike the other rooms it does not have a private bathroom, but makes up for it with its own balcony and city view, plus an electric kettle for making tea or coffee independently.
This is the largest room in the bed and breakfast, at 22 sqm, with a bed arrangement designed to accommodate up to three people thanks to the combination of a single bed and an extra-large double bed. The bathroom is shared, but the room offers garden view, city view and views over the inner courtyard, plus a mini fridge and hairdryer.
Identical in size and features to the first double room with private bathroom, with the same 16 sqm and the same flexibility in bed choice. It differs in its view, limited to the city view without garden or courtyard view, and in having a mini fridge in addition to the electric kettle.
Testa Gioacchino B&B offers guests a panoramic terrace, one of the property’s highlights, along with daily housekeeping and free WiFi connection in all areas. The building is entirely non-smoking, has a lift and heating, and is equipped with safety features such as fire extinguishers, a smoke alarm and a carbon monoxide detector.
The rooms are equipped with toiletries, a hairdryer, bed linen and, in several cases, a coffee machine or electric kettle for making tea and coffee independently. There is also a desk area, useful for those travelling for work.
Completing the offer, a small on-site minimarket allows guests to purchase essential items without leaving the property, while an iron and ironing board are available on request for those who need to freshen up their clothes during their stay.
Testa Gioacchino B&B is located in the Tiburtino district, a residential area of eastern Rome far from the large tourist flows of the historic centre, but well served and lively thanks to the presence of bars, pizzerias and neighbourhood businesses. The setting is typically peripheral Roman, with residential buildings and a local everyday life that allows visitors to experience Rome at a more authentic pace compared to the central areas.
The property is just 100 metres from Monti Tiburtini Metro Station and about 550 metres from Pietralata Metro Station, ensuring quick connections to the centre.

Within a radius of a few hundred metres there are also several places for a quick meal, such as Pizzeria Boccione at 150 metres.
For those who want to move between greenery and culture, Filippo Meda Park is about 300 metres away, while Villa Torlonia, with its historic park and house-museums, can be reached in about 3.2 km. The Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome is about 3.7 km away, offering a contemporary cultural alternative to the large archaeological sites. For a trip to the great classics, the Colosseum and the Domus Aurea are about 5 km away, as are the Trevi Fountain and Piazza di Spagna, easily reachable by metro in about 20-25 minutes.
