Vatican Town is a family-run bed & breakfast located in Rome, about 500 meters from St. Peter’s Square, in the Prati district near the Vatican.
The rooms, furnished in classic style, all feature a private bathroom, air conditioning, a safe, an LCD TV, a tea and coffee set, and free WiFi. Breakfast is not served on-site but at a partner bar just 100 meters from the property, a convenient solution for those who still want to start the day at ease before visiting the Vatican Museums, reachable on foot in about 7 minutes.
The location is one of the most appreciated strengths: both Lepanto and Ottaviano metro stations are just a few minutes’ walk away, making it easy to get to the historic center and the city’s main attractions. Staff also organize food and wine tours and guided trips to the Amalfi Coast, Tivoli and Piombino, a useful service for those who want to combine a visit to Rome with some excursions out of town. Bicycle rental is also available for those who prefer to get around independently on two wheels.
Vatican Town offers two room types, both designed for a practical stay in the heart of Prati. All rooms are furnished in classic style and feature a private bathroom, safe, LCD TV and a tea and coffee set, with free WiFi throughout.
The Double/Twin Room is the largest option, at about 19 square meters, with air conditioning and the possibility to choose between an extra-large double bed or two single beds at the time of booking, ideal for families with a child or small groups. The Small Double Room is a more compact option, designed for two people, with a fixed extra-large double bed and the same essential amenities. Both room types allow you to choose based on the space you need without giving up basic comforts.
