Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
A leisurely walk will take you to the Vatican City with its gardens and museums. You’ll find local markets, cafes and restaurants in the neighbourhood too. The apartment is on the fifth floor with no lift. But the reward for climbing all those stairs is that there’s a private terrace with its wonderful views over St. Peter's Basilica. You can enjoy the vistas from this home’s living area too (this room also sleeps guests three and four on a sofa bed). This is a perfect base, offering a blend of comfort and stunning views.

Local guide
About Valle Aurelia
Valle Aurelia is directly behind the Vatican, but you’d never guess from the number of tourists. Perhaps the nickname, Valle dell’Inferno (Valley of Hell) is enough to put them off. Rest assured though, it’s not a comment on the place, rather a reference to the presence of enormous furnaces in the area, which were in use up until the 1920s. It was the heart of metalworking, clay firing and brickmaking in Rome for centuries, and this instilled a vibrant working-class character to the neighbourhood, which endures today.
