San Pietro Boutique Rooms

San Pietro Boutique Rooms

10/10 Excellent
"I was a little nervous about staying here as it's not a hotel, but a boutique guesthouse. When we arrived we were overwhelmed by both the charm of the place and the welcome we got from the owners. The owners waited for us to arrive on our train so that they could greet us, acclimate us to the rooms, etc. They were amazing. There are only 6 rooms in this guesthouse. My friends and I had 4 of them. We all LOVED this place. Very unique, very comfortable - rooms are large and have very high ceilings that make you feel like you have even more space. The bathrooms were fantastic. The beds were really comfortable. Everything about this place was amazing. The location is also terrific - just a few blocks from Vatican City and lots of restaurants. I will be telling everyone I know about this place. Thank you Francesa & Diego! God willing, I will be back!!"

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay here! The room was very spacious with a very large bed. Breakfast was plentiful and with a good selection of meat, cheese and various cereals and pastries!! Of course the usual juices, teas and coffee. The staff were friendly and very helpful. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor bar/patio. Location wise the hotel is about a 15 minute walk from the Trevi fountain. There are also a few good bars and restaurants nearby. Whilst it is outside the busiest areas this makes it a quieter location despite the usual police and ambulance sirens, but then that’s just Rome !"
