Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Located on the second floor of an Umbertine period building, this homestay is brimming with character inside and out. The Vatican, Piazza del Popolo, Castel Sant'Angelo, and many more attractions are all within walking distance, not to mention the impressive number of authentic eateries, charming shopping streets, and grand plazas just a stone's throw away. That being said, with its very own private terrace acting as an oasis amid the flurry of a vibrant city, you could just as easily spend your evenings reading under the stars or dining alfresco.

Local guide
About Prati
Prati sits cheek by jowl with Vatican City - not that you would necessarily know from within. The newest of Rome's districts, built between 1873-1921, its road plan was designed so that none of the streets would have St. Peter’s Dome in the background, a reflection of the tension between the new Italian state and the Vatican during its construction.
