Our Relais guest house has just opened and we're delighted to welcome travellers and pilgrims alike to the Eternal City of Rome and to the Holy City of the Vatican. With just six intimate, cosy and delicately fashioned guest rooms, we hope to offer accommodation like no other in Rome - a unique blend of top quality surroundings in a perfect location at the greatest value for money possible.

We offer a range of modern conveniences such as WIFI and international Satellite TV, while at the same time affording even the most discerning guests the highest luxury and southern Italian hospitality as can only be found in rare niches of the Eternal City.

Having only recently opened you'll find that our six private and secluded guest rooms offer among the finest value for money options in the city for refined accommodation thanks to the fact we're still relatively unknown, but it's still worth booking well in advance in order to not be disappointed, as the exclusive boutique Guest House Relais Papa Vista will not be unknown for much longer!

Relais Papa Vista by the Vatican Museums in the Eternal City of Rome offer six private, secluded, intimate and cosy guest rooms decorated to the highest aesthetic standards and offering a delightful range of mod cons not usually found in refined accommodation in Rome.

Our exclusive Rome Guest House is just moments from the Vatican Museums entrance and five of our six exquisite rooms face onto the front, so you can check on the queue at any time! This vibrant quarter of town offers all that you need by day or night but a tranquil night's sleep is ensured by our soundproofed windows.

All of our beautifully designed boutique guest rooms with classical wooden flooring are brightly lit and adorned with fixtures and fittings worthy of city centre accommodations of a higher star rating. The Luxury rooms Rome in the Papa Vista Relais all come with private en suite with showers and courtesy kit, Satellite TV with Sky Hotel - an international package that caters for various languages - all on brand new 32 inch plasma TVs. Air-conditioning in summer and central heating in winter allow you to be in full control of your ambiance.

Guests with laptops or Mac books may enjoy the convenience of complimentary WIFI throughout the property and direct-dial telephones. A small fridge stocked with light refreshments completes the package.

To enquire about availability go to our real-time Papa Vista Bookings Engine - our rates change seasonally and according to availability and of course, events at nearby St Peter's Cathedral Basilica, where His Holiness the Pope regularly addresses the masses.

Begin planning your trip to Italy with a visit to our Useful Links page, where you'll find all of the services and organisations necessary to make the most out of your trip. By letting us know in advance when you book, we can arrange a transfer from either of the city's airports on your arrival.

When you arrive, our multilingual staff will advise and recommend and assist with any bookings or reservations you wish to make in the city of Rome. The local area is home to some fine restaurants and trattorias but watch out for the tourist traps! You may wish to simply relax on your first evening and take advantage of the free WIFI throughout the property - and what better opportunity to take advantage of our unique Italian hair and beauty treatment service, available by advance booking.

Alternatively, if you wish to make a real night of it, we'll be happy to organise a babysitter service. Italian buffet breakfast is served from 7.30 till 9.30 and during the day you're also welcome to take advantage of our laundry service, private shopper service for those forgotten essentials, and fax and photocopier service for those in need of business facilities.

Staff are on hand until 9pm every day to take care of any issues or queries you may have, but if you expect to arrive later than that to check in simply let us know by leaving a note in the Additional Comments box when you book online and we'll wait up for you.

The Refined Relais Papa Vista Rome enjoys a fantastic location visible from the Vatican Museums entrance. We're also just a few minutes from the Metro network which will transport you to virtually any other part of the city. Alternatively, a leisurely stroll around the Vatican wall and along Via Conciliazione takes you to the River Tiber, across which you'll find the myriad of cobbled streets that make up the centre of the ancient and beautiful city of Rome - the Colosseum, the Imperial Roman Forums, the Spanish Steps, and countless other world famous landmarks.

The Vatican Museums, including Michelangelo's masterpiece, the Sistine Chapel, are the largest and probably the most comprehensive in the world. They say that if you looked at every artefact in the museums for 30 seconds, you'd be there for two weeks, so bear in mind the sheer wealth of treasures that this amazing city has to offer when you plan the duration of your trip, and consult the Relais Papa Vista Booking Engine for special discounts on longer stays.
