From our room rentals located in the area "Ottaviano" in Rome you can easily reach St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican and Castel Sant'Angelo just going out the door and taking two steps in the most elegant district of the capital.
The area known as Ottaviano takes its name from the homonymous street, which is part of the Prati district, nestled between the Vatican, the Borgo district, the river Tiber and the Natural Reserve of Monte Mario. Between Via Ottaviano and Via Giulio Cesare there is a convenient subway station ("Ottaviano - San Pietro - Vatican Museums").
Staying in one of the room rentals in Via Ottaviano in Rome is the ideal choice for those who love shopping, who will be delighted by the large number of high-fashion shops and refined jeweleries present on this and the adjacent streets and squares, as Via Candia, Via Cola di Rienzo and Piazza del Risorgimento.
A few steps from Via Ottaviano from the Basilica of St. Peter, which needs no introduction: it is enough to mention the Sistine Chapel and the statue of Michelangelo's Pietà, two of the greatest masterpieces that Western art has ever produced, and these are only two examples of the high value that holds the largest of the papal basilicas. St. Peter is the church that is the center of Catholicism, the seat of the main events of the Catholic and papal celebrations, such as Christmas, Easter, the announcement of the new Pope and the canonization of saints.
Do not miss the opportunity to visit the Vatican Museum, where you can admire one of the largest art collections in the world: the Vatican Museums in fact retain all the masterpieces collected by the Popes over the centuries.
In the beautiful Borgo district, overlooking the Tiber, (which was part of the Vatican before the Lateran Treaty of 1929) is also Castel Sant'Angelo, which is one of the most popular monuments in the Capital visited by tourists and inhabitants, who admire the interesting exhibitions it hosts and, in the summer, enjoy the gardens with numerous musical, cultural and gastronomic events.
