Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Nestled just outside of Vatican City, this lovingly decorated home has a certain vintage feel that really is warm and welcoming, with a home away from home kind of feel. Boasting light and airy open spaces, comfortable furnishings and convenient locations, this home really is an ideal rest stop for intrepid adventures aching to get out and experience this beautiful city. We highly recommend making the most of the local Metro stations to get the most out of your stay. Check out other neighbourhoods and see more of Rome by hopping on a train at either Ottaviano, San Pietro, Musei Vaticani Station, a short three-minute walk away, or Lepanto Station, which can be found nine minutes away from the home. Fill your days with adventures and excitement, whether that's shopping for souveniers in Via Del Governo Vecchio, perusing antiques in L’Archivio Di Monserrato, or checking out the art galleries of Via Margutta, as well as magnificent historic sights such as the Trevi Fountain, the Vatican, St. Peter's Basilica, or the mighty Colosseum, we are sure you will never run out of things to do and see.
