Zoe Vatican rooms is a family-run guest house in the Aurelio-Prati district of Rome, 700 metres from St. Peter’s Square and 900 metres from St. Peter’s Basilica.
The property offers a few units furnished with their own kitchen, air conditioning, flat-screen TV with cable channels and a private bathroom with courtesy set, bidet and shower. The soundproofed walls ensure a good rest despite the central area, and each room has a coffee machine, bed linen and towels provided by the property. Some units offer a view of the inner garden, a detail that makes the stay quieter than the average for b&bs in the area.
Common facilities include a shared kitchen and a lounge with a TV area, useful for those travelling with more people or staying in Rome for several days. The location, just steps from the Roma San Pietro railway station and about a kilometre from Ottaviano metro station, makes getting around to the historic centre convenient. It is a suitable option for couples and families who want to visit the Vatican Museums and Rome’s city centre without giving up a cosy, private space.
Zoe Vatican rooms offers two room types, both designed for those seeking the independence of a small apartment in the heart of Prati. Each unit is equipped with a private kitchen complete with hob, fridge, utensils and toaster, as well as a private bathroom with shower, bidet and complimentary courtesy set. Air conditioning, soundproofed walls and a flat-screen TV with cable channels are present in both room types, as are the coffee machine and bed linen provided by the property.
The Deluxe Room, at 18 square metres, stands out for its view of a quiet street and its larger dining area, ideal for those who cook often on their own. The Large Double Room, at 14 square metres, instead offers a view of the garden and inner courtyard, a strong point for those seeking more natural light and a green outlook. Both rooms accommodate up to three people thanks to the extra sofa bed.
The Deluxe Room is the larger of the two room types, at 18 square metres, overlooking a quiet street in the Prati district. It features a fully equipped private kitchen, dining area, air conditioning and soundproofed walls, as well as a private bathroom with shower, bidet and courtesy set. The sofa bed also makes it suitable for small families or groups of three.
More compact than the Deluxe Room at 14 square metres, this room is the only one with a view of the garden and the property’s inner courtyard, a detail that provides more natural light and a green outlook rare in Rome’s city centre. It is equipped with a private kitchen, air conditioning, soundproofed walls and a private bathroom with shower and bidet.
Zoe Vatican rooms provides guests with a shared kitchen and a lounge with a TV area, useful spaces for those staying several days or travelling in groups.
