Hey from Barbara

Member since August 2007 | 53,773 hits

My name is Barbara and I manage Barbara Vaticano (formerly Rome Vatican B&B and before AGV 2001 B&B) - together with my husband - since March 2003. In these years I have cultivated my passion for travel by helping my guests to enjoy our beautiful city. I speak English and Spanish, Polish and Russian, so as to be able to communicate more easily with the majority of our guests.

Area Vaticano

Barbara Vaticano is located 150 metres away from Vatican Museums entrance. From the street Vatican City walls and St. Peter's dome are both visible. By a pleasant stroll (10 minutes) you can get to St. Peter's Plaza (in front of the Basilica) and to Castel S. Angelo. Crossing the river in front of it you will get very easily to Piazza Navona, Campo de' Fiori, the Pantheon, via Giulia and Ara Pacis. It is located also 150 metres away from Metro stop, A Line, "Cipro", to reach all the other parts of Rome Historical City Center. Cipro Metro Station is also a hub for Bus Terminals. The whole area is characterized by lots of restaurants, the streets surrounding the B&B teem with shops for all needs and, furthermore, the biggest Local Market Place is located just on the parallel street. AGV 2001 B&B is also located in a side street, which means it is peaceful and quiet.

I am very pleased with the weekly stay here. The hosts are very hospitable. It is very close to the Vatican Museums and the Vatican. It's calm and quiet here. If I come to Rome again, I will definitely come back here. I recommend accommodation to every visitor to Rome.

Let's just call it a bed, which is better. Moka coffee, long-life milk, brandless brioche without batch and expiration date, single-use slices and packaged bread. No juices, no brioche, no biscuits, no fresh brioche as stated on the website. Located in a strategic position but they would do better to offer only overnight stays. Having children, we had to go buy breakfast for them every morning.

We had a great time, Mr. Ruggero immediately advised us on what to visit and provided us with information to move around. A very kind person who made himself available for any further information. Everything necessary for breakfast was always available with rusks and brioches from a well-known brand.

We had a great time. The managers were super kind and available for any information we asked for. Everything in the room was perfectly functional, from the air conditioner to the hot water in the bathroom. The sheets were fragrant. A structure to be chosen with confidence by those with special needs for breakfast (they provided gluten-free breakfast products upon request with great attention to the products). I recommend it.

We highly recommend staying here while in Rome! Great location - right next to the Vatican, close to public transportation, both buses and metro. Rooms very neat, and the terrace added to the enjoyment of morning breakfasts. The hosts were very helpful and friendly! They gave us many tips on sightseeing and recommended many places. Definitely worth taking advantage of this place while in Rome!

The cleanliness of the room does not meet what was declared. Breakfast was decent but the kitchen and the terrace were quite dirty. The owner only reached out to ask me to leave the accommodation by 10:00. Lastly, there wasn't even a POS available. In conclusion, I do not feel like recommending it.

Very, very good. The owner is super friendly and almost a tour guide. He speaks Spanish perfectly, so you can take advantage of it;) \nEverything was very clean, there was everything and a cat visits the terrace. There is no elevator BUT it's like six steps from the street, so no problem. \nThe place is very close to the entrance of the Vatican Museums and to a metro that goes to the important parts of the center (Piazza del Popolo, Spoaña, the Trevi Fountain and also to Termini, so you can go and come back in a day without much hassle).

Unfortunately, I must absolutely communicate that there was no cleaning of the Room and, furthermore, there were only 2 rolls of toilet paper, they seem a bit few for 2 adults and a 6-year-old child. Complete absence of the owner and/or those acting on his behalf. In conclusion, managing a B&B in this way is easy.

Perfect location, a stone's throw from the Vatican and halfway between the Cipro and Ottaviano metro stations. The Rome Vatican B&B is very quiet and on the back terrace you can even work in peace. The room is spacious and clean. Maurizio and his wife are very kind and friendly. We will definitely come back!

Beautiful, clean and spacious room (we were 4, 2 adults and 2 children and we had a double bed and two single beds and despite the beds we were comfortable to undress and leave the suitcases). The bathroom clean and functional. The area is quiet and very close to both the metro and bus stops. Also, a stone's throw away is St. Peter's! The manager is kind and helpful. The space with the kitchen for breakfast is small but well equipped. The breakfast is simple, consisting of snacks and rusks with jams with the possibility of making coffee, tea and herbal teas. The most particular thing is the small outdoor veranda with sofas and armchairs where you can relax or have a snack. In conclusion highly recommended! I will definitely return!

Structure close to the metro and St. Peter's Square, the managers are kind and helpful in providing information, clean and welcoming. The only flaw was the breakfast; having children with us, it would have been appreciated to have some more juice available, or iced tea and water, but I'm sure that asking would have been enough. In any case, we will consider it for another possible visit to Rome.

I stayed 5 days with my family at Rome Vatican B&B in September 2019. Everything went well, the owner is very kind and friendly, personally taking care of the property, maintaining order and cleanliness especially in the entrance-kitchen area where guests have at their disposal, if they want, also the stove and refrigerator. Furthermore, the owner also suggested some sightseeing itineraries that we had not thought of, complete with indications of public transport to use. Upon arrival, he also provided us with a map of the most touristic area of Rome. The property is in a quiet area, but really close to the Vatican and just a few hundred meters from the metro station.

Hosts and room were wonderful. Great location though hard to find the first time. Coffee was great but otherwise food was prepackaged. Nothing fresh. A few oranges or apples and some hard boiled eggs would go a long way.

We spent a 4-day weekend in this establishment, very clean, 5 minutes from the Vatican and restaurants. Family-friendly establishment where all nationalities mix, making the stay richer. And the icing on the cake is the owner "Ruggero" who guides us through Rome maps to show us the places not to be missed. We visited beautiful places thanks to him.

Rugerro is a most gracious host and he goes out of his way to make everything understandable for you. The B&B is conveniently located, minutes' walk from the Vatican as well as the Metro which will take you to other points of interest; such as the Colosseum. The B&B is very clean and well-kept. It offers a variety of breakfast choices, coffee & tea as well as a beautiful terrace! We loved our stay and Rugerro was an incredible host. We would definitely stay again on our next trip to Rome!

marinella

We stayed in Rome for a nice 4-day vacation and we had a great time at this B&B. Spacious and very clean room, quiet and well-served area both for its proximity to the Cipro metro station and various means of transport that take you everywhere in the city, and for the many shops, including an excellent local market, and various restaurants and trattorias. The structure includes a kitchenette for a very practical and functional breakfast, and a terrace where you can eat in peace. But above all, a high rating for the friendly hospitality of the manager, Ruggero, who made us feel truly at home, providing us with useful tourist information and tips to visit the whole city and also discover corners of Rome outside the usual tourist schemes. We will return there on our next vacation in Rome.

stayed from 05/11/2018 to 05/14/2018

The answer from the host:
Grazie mille Marinella. Un caro saluto da Roma e speriamo di potervi riospitarvi presto. Ruggero / Rome Vatican B&B
