Beside the Vatican
Our B&B, called Beside the Vatican, takes its name from its proximity to St. Peter's Square, offering a peaceful stay on a quiet street well connected to the historic centre of Rome. The strategic location allows easy access to attractions such as Piazza Navona, Campo de' Fiori, the Pantheon, Piazza di Spagna, and the Trevi Fountain, all just a few minutes' walk away. The Colosseum is about a 40-minute walk, while just 50 metres away is a bus stop and 100 metres away is the San Pietro train station, linked to the metro, facilitating movement around the city. Our rooms are equipped with a private bathroom, safe, complimentary toiletries, and a professional hairdryer. The beds come with high-quality linen and very comfortable mattresses to ensure optimal rest. All rooms feature free Wi-Fi, LCD TV, heating, and air conditioning. Some rooms have a balcony and minibar, providing additional comfort.

Our B&B BESIDE THE VATICAN warmly welcomes you to the heart of the Vatican and invites you to enjoy a stay filled with comfort and relaxation.
