Piazza Navona · Rome
Navona Rubens Lodge and Navona Bernini Lodge sit 150 metres apart in the quiet lanes behind Piazza Navona — the kind of location guests score 9.7 and 9.9 out of 10.
Welcome
Most visitors to Rome spend an hour a day getting to the places they came for. Our guests walk out of the door and are already there. The Pantheon is a seven-minute stroll, Campo de' Fiori five, Castel Sant'Angelo eight — and Rome's most photographed square is at the end of the lane.
Both apartments occupy a seventeenth-century building dating from 1650, on cobbled streets that empty out after dinner. You get the whole apartment to yourself: a real kitchen, two separate bedrooms, air conditioning in every room, fast Wi-Fi, and an owner who answers the phone. No reception desk, no queue, no upselling.
We look after just two apartments, and we look after them ourselves. That is the whole idea.
The apartments
Two whole-apartment stays, both sleeping four, both a few minutes from Piazza Navona. Travelling as a group of eight? Take both — they are 150 metres apart.

Vicolo del Governo Vecchio 56
A double-height loft with the original beamed ceiling of the 1650 building, a stone fireplace, and a steel staircase to a mezzanine bedroom. Guests describe it as a cool, quiet retreat to come back to.
8.3 Very good · 86 reviews
Via del Corallo 15
The larger of the two at seventy-five square metres: two bedrooms, a separate living room and a washing machine, on the third floor. One large double bed and two singles — it suits families and two couples equally well.
Book direct
You will find us on the big booking platforms. You will not find a better deal there — every commission we do not pay comes back to you.
01
Booking here costs less than any platform, because no one takes a cut between us.
02
Early luggage drop, a late arrival, a question about the neighbourhood — one message, one person, a fast answer.
03
Groups of up to eight can book Rubens and Bernini together — something no platform lets you do in one go.
04
Self check-in from 15:00 with your phone — land late and let yourself in. Ask about an early luggage drop.
The neighbourhood
Both apartments stand in the Parione district, between Piazza Navona and Campo de' Fiori. Guests routinely tell us they never used a bus, a taxi or a tour bus for the whole stay.
Ciampino airport 16 km · Fiumicino airport 23 km · nearest metro (Spagna / Ottaviano) about 1.8 km.
Hostaria da Baffetto, one of the oldest and best-known pizzerias in Rome, is 30 metres from Rubens Lodge. Ristorante 433 and Al Braciere are on the same block, and Da Francesco — traditional Roman cooking, open from breakfast to late — is around the corner. There is a supermarket within a few minutes for anyone planning to use the kitchen.

Good to know
Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out by 10:30. Both apartments have self check-in: once your online check-in is complete you receive the access instructions, so you can arrive at any time from 15:00. If your flight lands awkwardly, ask — we can usually keep your luggage before check-in or after check-out.
Each apartment sleeps four in two separate bedrooms. Rubens Lodge has two double beds; Bernini Lodge has one large double and two singles. Cots for children under two are free on request. There are no extra beds beyond the ones listed.
No — and you will not want a car. The whole area is a restricted traffic zone (ZTL) with almost no parking, and everything worth seeing is within walking distance. Taxis can drop you at the door, and we will send precise arrival instructions after booking.
Yes, in every room, with heating in winter. Guests staying in August routinely mention that the air conditioning made the difference.
Neither, unfortunately. Both apartments are non-smoking and pets are not allowed.
Bed linen and towels, free Wi-Fi, a fully equipped kitchen, air conditioning and heating. Bernini Lodge also has a washing machine. Rome's tourist tax is collected separately, as required by the city.
No — these are self-catering apartments with their own kitchens. What you get instead is one of Rome's best-fed streets: Hostaria da Baffetto is 30 metres away, and Ristorante 433, Al Braciere and Da Francesco are all within a minute's walk.
