Ideally situated just off the main street & only a few blocks from the Vatican, Castel Sant Angelo etc. Friendly, helpful staff. Lovely clean rooms. Small bathroom, tiny shower but adequate. Would stay there again if we return to Rome. Visit the Leonardo Da Vinci museum just off the Piazza de Popolo & do the crypt & catacombs tour.

The place is lovely, we had a very warm welcome and we felt like home. If you wonder how to make the best out of a small room and you need tips & ideas this is the place to be and take notes! Maximum of comfort on minimum of space!

The breakfast room is very small but comfy. The only minus was the lack of real cappuccino (the coffee at the machine is not so strong) but I guess this is compensated by variety of plates (continental breakfast) having in mind the Italian style of breakfast.

The building itself gives you a Roman taste and the surroundings are safe and very elegant. I stayed in Rome before, inTermini area and I can see a huge difference! The walking distance to sites is a bit relative -according to everybody's endurance..we were walking for 20 mins to Vatican Museums and S.Pietro. There is also the advantage of METRO station -5 minutes walking - at the end of the street.

The personnel is very helpful, check with them about restaurants around!
Beware of Taberna dei Gracchi -round teh corner-they have very spicy prices and hidden costs, they bring you things that look like "from the house" e.g mini bread basket (2 small toast slices=6EUR) glass of champagne, etc. You'd rather order your Lunch/Dinner at a restaurant in Piazza Navona at least you know what you pay for.

The Residenza Vaticana is a charming B&B located near the Vatican. It is still within walking distance to all the major attractions but there are less tourists in this area which is a nice break. It is nicely decorated and it's walls are covered in rich red wallpaper. With the low price, I was a bit surprised on how spacious the rooms are and the wonderful breakfast that is delivered to your room every morning. We had a nice bathroom in our room, complete with all the basics that you will need - shampoo, lotion, soap and even a hair dryer. I would definitely stay here again.

My wife and I stayed here for three nights after a one week Mediterranean cruise. We arrived around 1pm and were greeted by the owner. This B&B has a small reception and breakfast area. It has five rooms off the main hallway and 3-4 more rooms down an opposite hallway. Our room was at the end of the main hallway. We had a private bathroom. Our room was ready upon our arrival. We were promptly checked-in by Vincenzo at the front desk. He was very kind and helpful. He gave us a map and took his time explaining the highlights of Rome. Later, when we asked him to recommend a restaurant for lunch, he personally escorted us to his favorite restaurant a few blocks down the street—San Marcos. We enjoyed it so much we returned for dinner the next day. We also found a nice Gelateria on the corner of Via Ezio and Via Cola de Rienzo. This is a local’s place with lots of outdoor seating. You can get a decent serving for 2 Euro. You’ll pay much more anyplace that’s close to a tourist attraction. I was impressed by the cleanliness of the B&B and the décor. The breakfast area is very small so we elected to have breakfast served in our room. There is no extra charge for this service. We enjoyed our stay and the B&B’s proximity to the Lepanto subway station and the Vatican. We walked or used the subway/bus the entire time we were in Rome. The only complaint I had is the size of the shower. I’m 6’0” and weigh 210lbs. I found it to be a tight squeeze. One last piece of advice—don’t take pictures with the Roman soldiers outside the Coliseum. They will harass you for as much money as they can possibly get!
