The rooms at The Colours Of Rome cover a wide range of options, from the small 12 sqm double room designed for two people to spacious multi-bedroom apartments able to accommodate large families or small groups. All room types share a private bathroom, air conditioning, a tea and coffee making set and a flat-screen TV, while several rooms stand out for their balcony overlooking the city or with a view of St. Peter’s Basilica.
Among the most distinctive options are the Quadruple Room with Balcony and View, the 2-Bedroom Apartment with a full kitchen, and the large three-bedroom, two-bathroom unit designed for stays of up to eight people. Each room features a different combination of single and large double beds, suiting both couples and families with different space needs.
At 26 sqm, this is one of the largest rooms among the doubles/quadruples, featuring a private balcony with a view of St. Peter’s Basilica and satellite TV: the ideal choice for those who want to enjoy the view of the Vatican from their own room.
The largest apartment with two separate bedrooms, a full kitchen with hob and oven, washing machine and balcony: perfect for families or groups who want the independence of a real kitchen during their stay in Rome.
A room designed for couples, more compact than the Quadruple but with the same panoramic outlook: a small balcony offers a view of the city and the Basilica, along with a flat-screen satellite TV.
A suite with two connecting rooms and two private bathrooms, the only configuration in the property designed for two households who want to share the same space while maintaining privacy: balcony overlooking the city and tea/coffee set included.
Designed for three people, it combines the panoramic balcony typical of the view rooms with a private bathroom with shower, offering more space than the Small Double without giving up the view over the city.
The smallest room in the property, with a balcony overlooking the inner courtyard rather than the city: a compact and quiet solution, ideal for those looking for an essential base just steps from the Vatican.
Unlike the other triples, here the view is of the inner courtyard rather than the city, with the option to choose between a double bed plus a single or three single beds: a unique flexibility for groups of friends or families with children.
The largest of the non-apartment rooms, furnished with a sofa and wardrobe: the only one among the triples/quadruples to offer a separate seating area, ideal for those who want more space to relax beyond the bed.
The Colours Of Rome offers a range of services designed to make your stay comfortable even independently: from shuttle and airport shuttle service to luggage storage, from laundry service to an iron available on request. The terrace and common room with a TV area provide shared spaces to relax, while the lift makes moving between floors easier.
Rooms feature a private bathroom with shower or tub, hairdryer, free toiletries and a wardrobe or closet; some units also have a shared kitchen and a refrigerator. Dining options include an on-site café, in-room breakfast availability, a snack bar and an in-house restaurant, with special diet menus available on request.
Internet connection is guaranteed throughout the property, which is entirely non-smoking and equipped with a smoke alarm and fire extinguishers. Room service and the availability of family rooms complete an offering designed for both couples’ stays and larger families.
The Colours Of Rome is located in the Aurelio district, a residential area close to the Vatican that combines quiet buildings with small bars and neighbourhood trattorias, away from the tourist bustle but just steps from the symbolic sites of Christianity. The proximity to Piazza Santa Marta and the Vatican Gardens, both less than 800 metres away, makes the area particularly convenient for those visiting Vatican City.
Roma San Pietro railway station is just 350 metres away, while Valle Aurelia Metro Station is about 1 km away: two options that allow quick access to both the historic centre and Termini station. St. Peter’s Square is 950 metres on foot, the Vatican Museums 1.2 km, and Castel Sant’Angelo about 1.6 km. For those arriving by plane, Fiumicino Airport is 16 km away and Ciampino Airport about 15 km.

Piazza Navona and Campo de’ Fiori, reachable with a 20-25 minute walk or a short bus ride, offer the evening life of the historic centre, while in the summer months the riverside and surrounding neighbourhoods host markets and open-air venues for Roman evenings.
