The Couper Bocca di Leone is a guest house in Rome’s Centro district, 300 metres from Piazza di Spagna, with a private bathroom in every room. The property occupies a historic building on Via Bocca di Leone, one of the city’s most elegant streets, famous for its high-fashion boutiques and proximity to the capital’s landmark sights.
The three room types available, from the Deluxe Double to the Standard Quadruple, are designed to meet different needs, from couples on a romantic visit to small groups of friends or families. All rooms have a private bathroom, and most offer air conditioning and a flat-screen TV, ensuring a comfortable stay even in the hottest months.
The location is probably the property’s most obvious strength: the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain and Piazza del Popolo can be reached in a few minutes on foot, while the Spagna and Barberini metro stations allow quick access to the rest of the city, making The Couper Bocca di Leone a practical base for those who want to visit Rome without giving up the charm of the historic centre.
The Couper Bocca di Leone offers three room types, all equipped with a private bathroom with shower, bidet, hairdryer and toiletries, designed to accommodate two to four people. Air conditioning, present in most rooms, and the flat-screen TV ensure a comfortable stay throughout the year, while the tea and coffee making facilities allow guests to organise their own breaks independently.
The Deluxe Double Room, the most compact at 16 sqm, is ideal for two people seeking privacy. The Comfort Triple Room, at 19 sqm, adds a single bed for those travelling as three. The Standard Quadruple Room, the largest at 24 sqm, combines two double beds and is the most suitable choice for families or small groups sharing the same space in the heart of Rome.

The Couper Bocca di Leone is located on Via Bocca di Leone, in Rome’s Centro district, one of the city’s most elegant and exclusive areas, known for its high-fashion boutiques and immediate proximity to the main baroque monuments.
