“When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” This home at Piazza San Pietro is the perfect location to savour rich history, culture, and cuisine. The architectural detail of the chestnut-coloured exterior beams Roma charm with iron work, shuttered windows, and archways. Settle in your relaxed apartment equipped with tiled flooring and a kitchenette. Flip through the channels while you unwind from a day of travel. Or get ready to explore the stirring streets. Perched just outside Vatican City, take a short walk to the magnificent historical landmarks like St. Peter’s Basilica or Palazzo San Carlo. Satisfy your taste with a fresh, gourmet sandwich or glass of bubbly from Bono Bottega Nostrana nearby. The day is yours at Piazza San Pietro.
