This is hands-down the closest accommodation I’ve ever stayed to the Vatican. Exit the gate and in just a few steps you’re at the right colonnades of St. Peter’s Square—literally that close. Within a 10-minute stroll you’ll find countless great shops & restaurants lining charming streets.
Check-in Process: Seamless. Install WhatsApp before arriving in Rome—it’s the easiest way to communicate without an EU phone number. Owner/manager responds instantly with crystal-clear instructions. Early arrival? Leave luggage in the secure common area (cameras cover space and stairwell). Double security: coded gate to courtyard, then separate code for building.
Room: Comfortable, but no slippers, so wear socks or shoes. Walls near floor show scuff marks—clearly from guests putting on/off shoes or dragging luggage. Same wear on floor. Suggestion: add wainscoting or short protective wallpaper to keep it fresh. Bed linens clean but one had a small tear under pillow—needs a quick housekeeping check.
Bathroom: Standout! Shower and toilet area is significantly larger and more comfortable than my previous Vatican stay. Plenty of room. Minor confusion: diverter switch between fixed showerhead and handheld spray isn’t intuitive.
Daily Delight: Every morning at 7am and again ~ 5pm, hundreds of birds fill the air with song from nearby trees and rooftops. Not noise—a joyful, natural alarm clock.
Highly recommend for location
