St. Peter Central Rooms B&B

This hidden gem is located in a perfect location for those wanting to tour the Vatican City and not break the bank! The room is relatively small (European), but was just what we wanted/needed—security, a great place to sleep, store our luggage, and shower/clean up each day. And, the air conditioned room was welcomed at the end of a June day of touring in 80+ degrees Fahrenheit weather. We LOVED going to the bakery each morning for fresh pastry, just outside the front door, and being able to go across the street (literally) for fresh fruit daily from the local fruit market. The communication with the owner was great via text—we never met/saw him—and the check-in and check-out process was seamless. There are a few things that will be extremely helpful to you: 1. Take a good look at the photo of the front door before you arrive & the address—as many of the doors look similar. 2. Note the arrival process: enter through huge wooden outside door; proceed through glass doors and go up the short staircase immediately on your left to the small elevator. 3. Get in with luggage, close doors, press 3rd floor…as it opens, you will see the door of the B & B—St Peter’s B & B—on a brass plaque on the door. 4. To the right of the door is a lock box for the key to get into the apartment area where there are four individual locked rooms (A, B, C, D). You will receive the code from the owner. Open the door and immediately place the key back into the lock box. We got into the city early and our rooms were not ready, but they allowed us to put our luggage inside the hallway, so we could go out and tour. They notified us when our rooms were ready and we met someone back at the rooms, received our instructions, rooms, etc. Note: B&B may stand for Bedroom & Bathroom—there is no breakfast😎. The room was extremely clean and the bathroom was perfect! Each room has their own bathroom. Final note: we had to catch an early taxi (3:30am) to the airport and we’re nervous about securing one and where to meet them. Our host arranged for the driver/taxi as per our schedule and everything went perfect. A taxi ride was about 80 Euros and took about thirty minutes that time of day—no traffic. Taxis prefer cash. We would stay here again!
