Not just the location was great (it's near the Vatican St. Peter's Square, Roma San Pietro train station and several bus stations), but the hosts (Danilo and Giulia) are great: warm, welcoming, fluent in multiple languages and full of great tips. The bathroom is a little bit on the small side, but clean, well organized, well lit and enough to take a relaxing shower when you want to. Breakfast is very good, consistent and really comes in handy if you want to spend your day exploring Rome (which you definitely should) Being near the Vatican means not only can you get a head start in the morning with the mandatory queue to St Peter's Cathedral if you wake up early enough, but it's also considered THE SAFEST area in all of Rome. Also, if you're out exploring at night, it makes it easy to return to home base. St Peter's dome is well lit and visible from many parts of the city. So just follow it like a lighthouse and you're home (or take bus 46 to the Aurelio station and you're 2 minutes away from the B&B) There would be many things to say about what we liked about Al Ponte del Papa and about Giulia and Danilo, our hosts. But it would turn into a novel. Just come here, stay for a couple of days, explore the rich culture and beauty of the Vatican and Rome, and you'll understand why we wholeheartedly recommend this B&B as your homebase.

You cannot ask for better hosts, both Giulia and Danilo make you feel very welcomed and they are very responsive to requests and always willing to help. Breakfast was optimal and property is very clean too.

I wouldn't mind a pool, but nobody's perfect.

You know that feeling when you bump into a high school classmate after 10 years and instantly click like it was yesterday and nothing really changed? That’s exactly how it felt moving into this “auberge”. Danillo and Giullia were excellent hosts, they always went above and beyond to help and make your stay even better than it already was, which is quite the feat to accomplish when Rome is such a treat in itself. The location is a stone’s throw away from St Peter’s square and the Vatican museums and most of central Rome is at a walking distance. Furthermore, St Peter’s train station is also round the corner which makes the commute to the airport all the more pleasant (trust me, you will be leaving Rome with two heavy suitcases full of new clothes). Breakfast was on point and Danillo’s French toast was subject to numerous experiments and modifications which made me long for more. As for the room, the bed was very comfortable, the room spick and span and toiletries were replaced on a daily basis. As for the interior design, I would think of a sophisticated combination of a suave townhouse in Normandy mixed with a touch a of minimalist 1930’s Bauhaus; pretty much the visualisation of a perfect refuge for any itinerant intellectual trying to escape the mundane mainstream of AirBnBnized accommodation. I spent the last day of my stay at the Vatican (very convenient as you can leave your luggage at the reception before an evening flight) and we have been told by the guide that the Pope has a secret villa/mancave on the Vatican grounds where he occasionally evades to decompress and enjoy some quality time like other mortals do. I think that’s a big mistake, he should check into Danillo & Giullia’s for a change and see what a blessing it is to stay with them.

Al Ponte del Papa is one of the best accommodations I have ever stayed at. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I could need. It was also well decorated and thoughtfully arranged. The attached bathroom was a big bonus. I really appreciated that Danilo had the room cleaned everyday, and offered to help out with my city exploration plans. He has incredibly helpful advice and offered recs of local places to eat, routes to take, and transportation choices, etc. I should also mention the amazing breakfast that Danilo provides, which is a generous and delicious spread. My first day I had a very early morning tour and had to leave at 7 am and because the breakfast is from 8/830 onwards, Danilo had packed a breakfast for me to take the night before, which I thought was very kind of him, but also indicative of the kind of care you'll get at this place. I would stay here everytime I visited Rome henceforth.

All was nice. The staff was very nice. There was cleaning every day. Excellent breakfasts. Our family enjoyed it very much.

It didn’t bother us, but noting that there are a number of steps as soon as you open the main door to the building.

Ownership/staff, location-across the street from the Vatican and close to convenience stores and restaurants.

The only change would be a different mattress. I would not change anything else. It was perfect!

The host, Danilo was outstanding! He was accommodating with every aspect of our stay! We loved the breakfast he made each morning.

Stayed in July 2023

This property was well beyond our expectations. Danilo was super responsive to all of our inquiries during the planning phase and his help was indispensable while we were there. I truly don't think we could have visited Rome for the first time without his help. The B&B was in a great location and so close to the Vatican area. Our beds were comfortable and clean and we had everything we needed in the room. The breakfast was outstanding! It was hearty and delicious and filled us up to start our day. To top it off, Danilo was just very warm and kind. You can't beat this place!

Just minor thing; The location is near the Vatican museum, so it's not that close from the rest of the landmarks.

10 out of 10! Excellent breakfast, spacious and clean room, kind service...everything was perfect. Definitely come back when I came to Rome next time.

Nothing to dislike

The most outstanding feature of this B&B is the host Danilo who went out of his way to make sure we were cared for, from directions, booking transfers, advice on the best places to visit and best of all the breakfasts in the gorgeous courtyard. A highlight of our trip. Thank you for your warm welcome Danilo 🙏

Everything about this little gem of B&B is perfect: clean and comfy rooms, breakfast and the location. And the hosts, Danilo and Giulia, add that extra magic. They genuinely go an extra mile to make you feel welcome and comfortable. I am so glad to have found this special B&B.

Amazing location, just 3 minutes by foot to Vatican. All the amazing places of Rome can be reached by foot. But if you are tired to walk, just take a bus ( the bus station in front of the hotel). The train station St Pietro is also 3 minutes by foot. But the special thing of this hotel are the hosts: beautiful Italian couple Danilo and Guilia. They are incredible nice and helpful. And the breakfasts prepared by Guilia are super cute. The hotel has a small cute terrace where you can chill out drinking coffee or wine. So, if you see the free room, book it immediately, it will be a good choice. If next time I travel to Rome again, I will stay in this hotel again definitely (in case I am lucky to book the room 😀❤️).

Nothing. What can you possibly expect more?

The hosts are more than amazing, the best I have ever met. Warm, hospitable but professional. Beautiful room with a clean bathroom. Great location especially when you like to visit Vatican and Sant'angelo. Saint Peter's square is right next to it. Safe and peaceful neighborhood, as it is located across the river.

We can warmly recommend this B&B! You will not be disappointed!It is super clean, has a good location(really close to restaurants,minimarkets and a bank), there is a direct busline to the trainstation for example and you are in the Vatican within 2 minutes! And the best: the hosts.Giulia and Danilo will take such good care of you that you dont want to leave in the end( great breaky, quick in communication and giving advice - just very friendly)!

As I said to Danilo: "It is best hotel ever that I have visited in Rome. And it is because you feel yourself like at home". I had a long anough trip but I really glad that the last point was B&B. Thank you Danilo & Giulia. P.S. Danilo your breakfast was amazing and I know Giulia is the key of it :). Good Luck and till next time.

Giulia and Danilo place was super clean and comfortable. Every breakfast was also very nice. The location was perfect to reach attractions on foot. In addition, they spontaneously helped me when I needed like a family. Thank you Giulia and Danilo for everything. I will stay again in your place when I visit Rome.

A lovely place, super clean, nice decorated and perfectly located. Bus and train are close by. We felt home, also because of the warm welcome by Danilo & Giulia. The breakfast gives you a perfect start into your day. GRAZIE MILLE!
