La Vite Vaticana

In the shadow of St. Peter’s Dome, this compact guesthouse sits in Rome’s Vatican quarter — about 200 metres from the Vatican Museums and a short walk to St. Peter’s Square and the Sistine Chapel. Perfect for travelers who want a central Vatican-area base in the heart of Rome.

Housed in a 1900 building and refreshed in 2017, the property feels small and friendly with just a handful of rooms and warm, simply decorated interiors. Rooms are air-conditioned and feature minibars, flat-screen TVs, private bathrooms with showers and bidets, safes and desks; housekeeping is provided daily. Lift access, a sunny terrace (and a garden area), multilingual staff and a concierge add tidy conveniences.

Soak up the Roman sun on the terrace or relax in the on-site bar. Complimentary wireless internet runs throughout the property, and practical touches include air conditioning, lift access, parking for guests, a safe-deposit box, key collection and optional transfer service — plus a doctor available on request and a hair salon on site.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout and desks in rooms help you stay connected. Front-desk services include luggage storage, express check-out and a safe-deposit box.

A complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily from 7:00–10:00 AM to get your Roman mornings started. An on-site bar offers evening drinks and a casual spot to unwind after sightseeing.
