The Pope At The Window is a holiday home in Rome, in the Aurelio district, just steps from Valle Aurelia Metro Station and about 1.5 km from St. Peter’s Square.
The property offers seven types of accommodation, from one-bedroom homes of 40-45 m² to more compact double rooms of 20-30 m², all with an equipped kitchenette, air conditioning and a private bathroom with toiletries. Several units have a terrace, some with a view of the inner garden, plus a coffee machine and an independent entrance separate from the other units.
It’s a practical solution for families and small groups who want to cook on their own and easily get around to the Vatican, while still staying close to neighbourhood restaurants like Ivan Marilena and Pizza Shop 341, just a few metres from the entrance. Garage parking and WiFi are free, and pets can be accommodated on request at no extra cost.
The seven available room types share some basic features: a kitchenette with fridge, hob and utensils, air conditioning, a private bathroom with shower and bidet, a flat-screen TV and an entrance independent from the other units. Sizes vary considerably, from a minimum of 20 m² in the most compact Double Room up to 45 m² in the one-bedroom homes, designed to accommodate up to four people thanks to the sofa bed in the living room.
What sets the individual units apart is mainly the presence of a terrace, sometimes with a garden view, the minibar in some double rooms, and small details such as a dining area, a wardrobe or tiled floors. Those looking for more space will find the holiday homes the best fit, while the double rooms remain the ideal choice for couples or solo travellers.
One of the largest units in the property, this 45 m² holiday home separates the living room from the bedroom, with an en-suite bathroom featuring a shower and bidet. The terrace and coffee machine complete accommodation designed for up to four people.
Same 45 m² size as the first holiday home, but with a distinctive feature: the terrace opens onto the property’s inner garden, offering a greener spot for outdoor breakfasts. Here too, the bedroom is separate from the living room, with a full kitchenette.
Slightly smaller than the other holiday homes (40 m²), this unit focuses on functional details: tiled floors, a separate dining area and a spacious wardrobe. It is the only one-bedroom home without a terrace.
A spacious 30 m² double room, the only one among the double rooms to offer a sofa bed in addition to the double bed, with a terrace overlooking the garden and a minibar. Suitable for those travelling as three.
The most compact room type in the whole property, at 20 m², designed for two people. It has no terrace or balcony, but makes up for it with a minibar and a view of the inner garden, plus a full set of toiletries in the bathroom.
The only holiday home to combine two different types of double bed in the same room, this 25 m² unit has a terrace with a garden view and a spacious wardrobe, making it the most flexible for arranging guests.
The Pope At The Window offers free parking in a private garage, no small advantage in a central district like Aurelio, along with an airport shuttle on request for those arriving from or departing to Fiumicino or Ciampino. The property is entirely non-smoking and offers daily housekeeping, laundry and ironing service, plus an on-site convenience store useful for everyday shopping.
In every unit, the kitchenette allows guests to manage meals independently, while the bathroom includes complimentary toiletries along with a hairdryer and provided linen. On request, guests can order fruit, wine or champagne, or have breakfast served directly in the room. The independent entrance of each unit ensures greater privacy compared to the other units in the property, while air conditioning and heating guarantee good comfort in every season.
The Pope At The Window is located in the Aurelio district, a residential area north-west of Rome’s historic centre, just steps from the hill of Monte Ciocci and Villa Carpegna, two urban parks useful for a green break away from traffic. The character of the neighbourhood is that of a lived-in Rome, with local bars and restaurants such as Ivan Marilena and Pizza Shop 341, both about 50 metres from the entrance.
Getting around is made easier by the proximity of two transport lines: Valle Aurelia Metro Station, 750 metres away, and the train station of the same name, 800 metres away, both useful for reaching the centre in a few minutes. St. Peter’s Square and the Vatican Museums are 1.5 and 1.6 km away respectively, walkable in about 20 minutes. Fiumicino and Ciampino airports are both about 15 km away, also connected by a paid airport shuttle offered by the property.
Guests staying here can spend a day visiting the Vatican Museums and St. Peter’s Basilica, then continue on to Castel Sant’Angelo, 2.3 km away, crossing the Tiber. In the warmer months, Villa Doria Pamphilj, less than 2 km away, offers plenty of shaded space for a walk, while in winter the district remains lively thanks to markets and local businesses open all year round. The historic centre with Piazza Navona and Campo de’ Fiori can be reached in a few minutes by public transport or by car.
