Celestina House - VATICAN - updated 2026

the property was adorable and in a great location a little away from the crowds

It was perfectly located and and had a lot of sunlight! the mornings were wonderful to just sit by the window.

It was a four flight walk-up - with my luggage. I didn’t mind on a daily basis. The challenge was on my last day getting my luggage down. It was still worth it though. It was a small thing but - I felt annoyed that the property did not provide additional toilet paper and paper towels (past the one provided of each). I’ve stayed many different places over the past 15 years in Europe and didn’t experience that. I purchased additional rolls and left them there for others. I also purchased coffee. With that said I do not regret my decision. I wound rent again.

Nice decoration. Comfortable mattress (only on the double bed). Nice area next to the Vatican and the castel sant’ angelo.

Three floors with a lot of narrow stairs. No elevator. Difficult to ascent with baggage. The extra bed that is provided for children is extremely uncomfortable even for children. There is a faint bad smell all over the apartment. Kitchen chairs not in good condition. One was broken. Only one blanket available. Had to ask for extra (they gave us). No duvet provided. Only one big towel per person provided. Had to ask for extra (they gave us).

Excellent location within walking distance to all ancient Rome attractions and Vatican. Dozens of places to eat within 300 meters, at least three convenience stores and the whole area is a shopping paradise. The apartment is big, clean, stylish, very cozy and fully equipped.

Third floor, no elevator!!! And the floors are really, really high. Great exercise, but not for the weak of heart. Kitchen chairs are stylish but flimsy. One needs to be careful not to break them. Kettle is stylish too but misses the cap and does not turn off automatically.
