Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This comfortable apartment is a superb base for a family or group of friends wanting a fuss-free base in Rome. The main appeal here is the location – you’ll be perfectly placed for visiting the Vatican, with St Peter’s Basilica just a short stroll away. Castel Sant’Angelo is also within walking distance. The apartment only has two bedrooms, so at full occupancy, two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the living space – if privacy is important to you, a guest count of four might be better.
