Vatican Eagle

Twelve rooms occupy a restored 19th-century residential building on Via Vespasiano, tucked into the Prati grid three blocks north of St. Peter's Square. The street's quiet residential character contrasts with the crowds around the Vatican Museums, an eight-minute walk east.

Rooms keep herringbone parquet floors and tall shuttered windows original to the building; several overlook the internal courtyard rather than the street, useful for light sleepers. Ottaviano metro stop sits two minutes away, putting central Rome within a short ride for travelers who prefer Prati's calmer base over historic-centre congestion.
