8.6Verified guest“Residence Candia turned out to be a real find. The location right by the Vatican Museum and the metro was perfect. The self-catering apartment had everything we needed, including a kitchen and comfy beds. The staff were friendly and always ready to help.”
8.6Verified guest“The apartment had its own private kitchen. It's about 25 minutes from the airport by car. We tried Pronto pizza, just 300 feet away — loved it.”
8.6Verified guest“The rooms were spacious and the building itself was attractive, which made for a comfortable stay. It's also conveniently close to Bonci Pizzarium restaurant.”
8.6Verified guest“The staff were friendly and helpful — they even let me print my online tickets on their computer. The location is perfect, just north of the Vatican walls. Our room had a bunk bed with a double lower bunk, ideal for a family (we were a couple and only used the lower). The room came with a toaster oven, microwave, stove burner, fridge, and more, plus plates, cups, and utensils. They also offered parking inside the property gates — a lifesaver since we drove into the city at night.”
8.6Verified guest“Nice staff and a superb location, just a couple of blocks from the Vatican. We stayed in a 6-person residence that actually had 3 bedrooms and a lobby. The interior was a bit dated, but the room was clean. We made our own breakfasts, which was actually lovely.”
8.6Verified guest“I loved how cozy the rooms were. It looks small at first, but it's really all you need. It felt peaceful and romantic, and the top floor gave us a beautiful view of the night sky.”
