About this property

Your R (h) ome on Vatican's Edge! Minimal design and quiet next to the Vatican

Unique, for lovers of art, the house is opposite the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel, a few steps from Castel Sant'Angelo, in the oldest part of central Rome. A study of Roman architects oversaw the redesign in 2016, playing in its own way the "genius loci" Capitoline.
The house is designed for 4/6 people. E 'consists of two large double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen and large living room with 2 sofa beds. A wide, panoramic terrace allows you to lunch or dinner overlooking the city.
The house is on the second floor, with elevator, has an area of ​​90 square meters plus 25 square meters of terrace. The spacious lounge has two comfortable sofas and an ancient "refectory" of 2.9 meters on which to dine, the characteristic solid walnut table where the brothers used their meals in silence.
The house is equipped with air conditioning, tv, dvd player, hi-fi, wi-fi and a fully equipped kitchen, from the washing machine to dishwasher.
Vatican's edge ... we are at the gates of St. Peter! From Piazza Navona to the Pantheon, Campo de 'Fiori at the Colosseum, the Roman Forum Castel Sant'Angelo is all accessible by walking.
The area provides important shopping streets, excellent restaurants and trendy bars. The house is within walking distance to metro and bus stops that will easily connect with all the major tourist destinations of Rome. Besides supermarket and shops, the neighborhood offers a nice local market with fresh products of all kinds.
The municipality of Rome asks for the payment of a tourist tax of 3.5 euros per person per day, for guests over 10 years, to be paid directly to the owner at check in, in addition to the sum of 50 euros for cleaning.

Great views!

Wonderful views over Rome, with spacious balconies, apartment as described. Great communicative host Adriano. Bus route outside door and short walk to another, 10 minute walk to Metro. Great place if you don’t mind being out a bit, which we didn't.

Trip of a lifetime

We ended out two week trip at this beautiful property. They met us at the property, welcomed us with wine and homemade chocolate cake. The property was actually better than it is pictured. We all would recommend it at anyone staying in Rome.

Perfect Area, but a busy street is close by

The appartment is nicely located, right around Vatican City, in walking distance to bus and metro. The area is lively with lits of fine places for breakfast and dinner. The only downside is that it is at a vrey busy through-street with lots of traffic. So we had to buy oropax to cancel the noise from the street. With this tweak the stay was a pleasure.

Vatican walls

Space was pretty accurate. Owner was great- very welcoming and kind. In the back of the Vatican City walls so you do need to taxi a lot if you don’t want to walk 8-12 miles a day to explore. We had no problem walking though. Our WiFi didn’t work the entire 7 nights we were there, bummer for when we wanted to have downtime. Made it Hard for planning a lot of our adventures. He refunded me some money for it. Nearest cafe about 6 minute walk, nothing is right outside the apartment. A few changes I’d make is adding more pillows (we only had 1 per person) and more toiletries (we had to shop for toilet paper). All in all- great vacation!!

Wonderful apartment and hosts

The Vatican Edge is ideal for those who want to be close to the city of Rome but far enough way to enjoy the quiet and calmness that the Vatican Edge offers. We loved our accommodations, the amazing homemade cake, and bottle of wine. Truly amazing hosts that make you feel welcome. We would certainly stay here again!

Robinson/Frank - Rome July 2024

The location was definitely close to the Vatican, steps away. The accommodation was beautiful, with a beautiful lanai to escape the sun and enjoy the view. The host made our stay by leaving a tasty treat, upon arrival. I highly recommend this place. Did wish they had a microwave and bigger ironing board. The heat wave caused us to not want to venture out sometimes.

Great place to stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Rome. The apartment was clean, plenty of room and very well located. Close to the Vatican and only 15 min walk to the subway station to take you to the other sites. The host was great, giving good advise and the cake that Cristina made was delicious. We recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Rome/Vatican.

Great little property, in a nice quiet part of the city

Adriano and Christine are very accommodating and welcoming, they even baked us cake and left a bottle of wine for our arrival. The apartment was clean and comfortable. All you will need for your stay is there and lovely large balcony for you sit, relax, eat and catch some Sun.

Vrbo in Rome

Great location next to Vatican City, easy to get to from train station, the only thing I would recommend to people is to Uber/cab from metro train to vrbo the steps mentioned are tough in the heat while towing your luggage. The amenities were great (e.g. AC), Adriano who met us at the VRBO was great and helpful.

Great Apartment

Really enjoyed our stay at the Vatican's Edge apartment. There is a really good balcony to have breakfast and relax before and after a long day in Rome. It is spacious and we liked the minimalist decor. It is handy for buses and the metro. Would stay here again when in Rome.

Nice place

We enjoyed being able to open all the windows and doors. I didn’t realize we were on the backside of the Vatican but it was still and easy walk there. The master shower is very small but we were able to make it work. Overall we had a good stay.
