I recently spent just under a week at La Papessa, which turned out to be a charming and well situated B&B, with equally as charming staff. Overcoming a few minor difficulties with the room- due to my disability, and not the fault of the hotel to be noted - the staff were overly helpful in making my stay an enjoyable... More

The location and value for money is simple unbeatable..step out onto the main street and literally only few mins from all the main attractions...the Vatican would be the furthest at approx twenty mins walk so if you didnt feel like...

We enjoyed our stay at La Papessa - the location really could not be any better. The wonderful Pantheon is just 5 minutes walking distance, the Colisseum 15 mins and Trevi Fountain approx 4 mins (go in the evening - the lighting is great). Our room was pleasant (we were in the triple room above the main street) - ear... More

"La Papessa" is not only a delightful, but also a very nice place. You will be welcomed as friends or family members before, during and after your stay. For we who are lovers of Rome, our stay has been greatly facilitated due to the central position of La Papessa. About rates, I do not think it is possible to find... More

If you want to be int he thick if things, walking distance to nearly everything in Rome, this is the place. On top of that, the B&B is clean and charming. The rooms are nice, though small, but hey, thats nothing new for Europe!! Marcella is a helpful and gracious host. She helped us with directions, local transport and all... More

You can't get much more central than La Papessa. It's a great place to stay if you want to be able to walk anywhere in the city. It's a little on the pricey side for a B&B, but you are paying for the location. The rooms are beautifully done, with very high and painted ceilings and little touches like chocolates... More

3 minutes by foot from the famous Fountain and a few minutes in the other direction towards Piazza Venezia from where you can practically take any bus. The taxi we took from the airport dropped us at the main street, and we had trouble finding the inn (which isn't clearly marked). More

My husband and I stayed @ La Papessa for 5 nights. The hospitality was amazing. It felt like we were staying at someone's home. Breakfast was great, and we could not have asked for better service. The location of this quaint place could not have been better. We walk everywhere, but even for someone who doesn't, it is still right... More
