About
Da Fede
Da Fede is a small bed and breakfast on the fourth floor of a building on Via Ottaviano, one of the main streets leading to the Vatican. The location is the headline: St. Peter's Basilica is roughly a five-minute walk away, and the Ottaviano metro station is even closer, making the rest of Rome easy to reach.
The rooms are newly remodeled, with a clean, modern feel. Many have balconies, and the interior courtyard keeps things quiet despite the busy neighbourhood. The owners are known for warm, responsive hospitality, and the hall has free coffee and snacks. A paid airport shuttle can be arranged, and there is a discounted car park nearby.

–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Value rating slightly lower — While overall scores are strong, value scores a touch below the other categories at 8.3.
- Limited room types — The only listed room type is a Triple Room, which may not suit solo travellers or couples looking for a double.
- High floor, no mention of lift — The B&B is on the 4th floor, and while a lift is listed, it's not confirmed whether it stops at the right level or is always working.
- Check-in window ends at 22:00 — Late arrivals after 10 pm may need to arrange a different check-in time, which could be a hassle for some.
