Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
While at first glance, Orologio can seem a little stern, as you look a little closer, the details that add warmth become clear. The bedrooms, in particular, are quite charming, with little touches like the distressed metal lights, or the parquet floors. And you can’t forget that this is about a hundred metres from Vatican City. The flat has the space for six people to sleep there, but the single bathroom means that four is probably the most we’d recommend.

About Vatican
It's not always clear when places become popular tourist destinations. However, with the Vatican City, we know the exact date – 67AD when the apostle St Peter was martyred at the foot of the Vatican Hill and buried nearby. Over the next 2000 years, his modest tomb would evolve into St Peter's Basilica, the centre of the Catholic Church and one of the most visited spots in Rome. The Vatican...

Host
This home is managed by Misael
This home is managed by a business on behalf of its owner. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Although Peruvian by birth, Misael has lived in Italy since he was a child. He studied economics, but travelling was always his calling, so eventually he decided to dip his toes in the water of holiday rentals. He’s also big on design, something that comes through in the interior of the flat.
