Vatication B&B is a bed & breakfast in Rome, in the Prati district, about a 10-minute walk from St. Peter’s Square and the Vatican Museums.
The property offers two types of accommodation: a double room with private bathroom and air conditioning, and a larger superior suite with a separate living area, sofa bed and kitchenette with microwave. Every morning a continental buffet breakfast is served, with croissants and hot drinks, while free WiFi is available throughout the property.
The location is one of the most appreciated strengths: Ottaviano metro station is just 150 metres away and quickly connects to Piazza di Spagna, the Trevi Fountain and Termini Station. The surrounding neighbourhood offers numerous restaurants and cafés just steps from the entrance, making the area convenient both for first-time visitors to the city and for couples, who rated the location 9.9. The B&B suits those looking for a practical and central base to explore Rome on foot or by public transport.
Vatication B&B offers two accommodation options designed for different needs. The Double Room with Private Bathroom, at 18 sqm, is the more compact choice: fitted with air conditioning, a private bathroom, modern furnishings with tiled floors and a flat-screen TV, it can accommodate up to two people and alternatively offers the option of two single beds instead of the double.
The Superior Suite, at 40 sqm, is designed for those seeking more space and independence: it includes a living area with a sofa bed and microwave, a separate bedroom with a double bed and its own bathroom, plus air conditioning, an LCD TV and LED lighting. It can accommodate up to three people and is ideal for families or small groups who want to stay near the Vatican without giving up the comfort of a larger, more articulated space compared to the standard room.
The most compact room in the property, with 18 air-conditioned sqm and a private bathroom with shower. The modern furnishings and tiled floors create a simple, functional setting, with a flat-screen TV and free WiFi. It is the only room type also available with a twin-bed configuration, suited to two people who don’t want to share the double bed.
At 40 sqm, it is more than double the size of the double room and the only option with a separate living area: it includes a lounge with a sofa bed and microwave, and a self-contained bedroom with a private bathroom. Fitted with an LCD TV and LED lighting, it is the best choice for those travelling in three or seeking more space for longer stays.
