Restful stay in a former monastery
How about exploring the Holy City from the comfort of a converted 19th-century monastery? The four-star Residenza Paolo VI is the only hotel located on Saint Peter’s Square, meaning you’re a short walk from the Vatican City Museum, Sistine Chapel, and Basilica of St Peter. Offering a boutique vibe and warm service, it’s a charming place to stay.
The hotel’s 35 rooms are classically furnished and feature wooden or tiled floors and stylish rugs. As well as being air-conditioned, each room has WiFi, an LCD TV, and a private bathroom, while the daily housekeeping and laundry services keep your stay fresh and tidy. Love some local travel tips? The friendly staff at the 24/7 front desk will be happy to help.
Savoury and sweet, the daily breakfast is full of treats. Served in the restaurant or your room, it includes everything from scrambled eggs and cheeses to cereals and yoghurts. Later in the day, sundowners and snacks can be enjoyed on the hotel’s elegant terrace, which offers beautiful views over the Apostolic Palace.
Longing for the perfect Rome stay? Your prayers have been answered.

Find out more about Vatican Prati
Over on the west side of the Tiber River, the Vatican and Prati neighbourhood is a vibrant and elegant area in Rome, bursting with history, culture, and charm. Home to the Vatican City, this district offers immediate access to world-famous landmarks like St. Peter’s Basilica, the Sistine Chapel, and the Vatican Museums – perfect if you’re fascinated by Rome’s art and history scene.
Prati’s wide, tree-lined streets and stylish boutiques make it a delight to explore. Via Cola di Rienzo is a shopping haven, offering everything from Italian fashion to artisanal goods. Nearby, Castel Sant’Angelo provides superb views and a glimpse into Rome’s imperial past. Often ignored by Rome’s visitors altogether, this area is a haven of under-the-radar treasures – it’s also within easy walking distance of the Vatican, so you can’t go wrong.
Dining here is a feast for the senses. Enjoy Roman classics at local trattorias or opt for modern Italian cuisine at chic restaurants. Get to know the piazzas, the coffee shops, and the gelato shops off the main tourist paths, like Piazza Cavour, Gianfornaio, and Neve di Latte. Close to the historic centre yet quieter, this charming area – that often gets overlooked by tourists – offers a perfect balance of culture and relaxation in the Eternal City.
