About

Da Augusto

Da Augusto is a bed and breakfast on Via Ottaviano, placing you in the heart of Rome’s Prati district. The Vatican is about a 10-minute walk away, and Ottaviano metro station is just 450 metres from the door, making it easy to reach the rest of the city. The property is set in a building with a lift and offers free Wi-Fi throughout.

The B&B keeps things straightforward: air-conditioned rooms with flat-screen TVs, private bathrooms (some with balconies and city views), and a shared lounge for relaxing. Breakfast is cooked to order by the host, often with fresh eggs and sausages, and coffee is served with a side of local advice. The atmosphere is more like staying with a knowledgeable friend than at a standard hotel.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Breakfast worth waking up for — Guests consistently praise the cooked-to-order breakfast — fresh eggs, sausages, and good coffee — often tailored to personal preferences.
  • Exceptional location — A short walk to the Vatican, St Peter's Square, and the Ottaviano metro, with restaurants, cafes, and a supermarket nearby.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 20:00, which may be inconvenient if your flight or train arrives late.
  • Some bathrooms may be shared — One guest noted that the bathroom was not en suite, though it was private and just a few steps from the room.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, this B&B isn't an option.
  • No on-site parking — There is no parking listed, so you'll need to rely on public transport or nearby garages.
