The property, found in scala B3, interno 1, occupies a traditional Roman residential building, offering guests a taste of authentic local living while enjoying the comforts of quality accommodation. Its position in the northern part of Rome places you near the beautiful Parco delle Sabine and within reach of the historic Monte Sacro area, allowing you to experience a side of Rome that many travelers miss while remaining connected to the eternal city’s classic attractions.

The exceptional 9.1 rating of B&B Birba speaks volumes about the quality and care that defines this establishment. Previous guests consistently praise the attentive service, immaculate cleanliness, and thoughtful amenities that elevate the stay experience. The bed and breakfast format creates an intimate atmosphere where personalized attention is the norm rather than the exception.

With easy access to public transportation including nearby bus routes and the proximity of FR1 railway connections, B&B Birba serves as an ideal base for exploring Rome’s magnificent historical center, with the Vatican, Colosseum, and Spanish Steps all accessible within 30-40 minutes.

Its position on a street named after the famous Italian silent film star Rudolph Valentino adds a touch of vintage glamour to your Roman holiday, connecting you to the city’s rich cultural heritage from the moment you arrive.

Whether you’re a first-time visitor to Rome or a seasoned traveler seeking a more authentic experience of the Italian capital, B&B Birba offers a warm welcome and exceptional value. The property’s smaller scale allows for a more personalized approach to hospitality that larger hotels simply cannot match, reflected in its outstanding rating. Each room has been carefully designed to provide comfort and functionality, with attention to detail evident in every aspect of the accommodation. The neighborhood offers the chance to shop, dine, and interact with locals at neighborhood cafés, markets, and restaurants where you’ll find prices more reasonable than in tourist zones and experiences more genuine.

B&B Birba’s high rating testifies to its success in creating not just a place to stay, but a gateway to experiencing Rome as both a historic treasure and a living, breathing modern city where tradition and contemporary life blend seamlessly.

Reviews

• Leona from Croatia (10/10)

  Mr. Franco is an extremely helpful and good host. We felt like we were at home. Everything is neat and clean with great coffee 🙂

• Daniel from Romania (9/10)

  I stayed at Mr. Franco's property for 5 days.
  I had previously agreed with him an estimated time at which I would arrive by public transport and I was pleasantly surprised to find that he was waiting for me nearby and we recognized each other at first glance.
  The property is very close to the 38 and 338 bus stops, which can very quickly take you to the Jonio metro station, from where you can easily reach any point in Rome.
  Right from the moment I arrived, Mr. Franco showed me and explained on a suggestive map, all the points I was interested in.
  The room I stayed in and the entire property are very clean, located in a block of flats on the 1st floor. Very easy access.
  The area is typical of residential neighborhoods, with garbage collection points that are not very clean, a situation that has nothing to do with the property or the owner, but characterizes the entire city, rather related to the city management.
  I didn't come by car but I found that finding a parking space can be problematic. I'm sure that by talking to Mr. Franco, you will find a reasonable solution.
  Breakfast was included in the price, however, keep in mind that it is Italian-style, with mini cakes, biscuits, coffee, tea, milk, etc. The property does have a fully equipped kitchen where you can prepare, obviously within reasonable limits, pretty much whatever you want.
  In conclusion, to not prolong the discussion too much, I was very satisfied.
  
  Thank you Franco!

  The apartment was very clean and comfortable. As description said there was tovels, haid dryer, shampoo, kitchen tools (to prepare own meal), washing machine (can be added to offer description) and nice Italian breakfast (coffee, tea, toasts, jam, sweetsnack). In top of evething owner Franco was very polite, funny and helpful. He explained everything, where is the transport, what to see in Rome, where to eat and how to use devices in apartment. Every question was answered in details.

• Magdalena from Poland (10/10)

  The room was clean and cosy with an extremely comfortable bed, the bathroom and the kitchen equipped with all necessary facilities.
  Located a few min walk from a bus station or around 25 min walk from a metro station.

• Shen from Malaysia (10/10)

  Host was very welcoming and helpful. Room was clean, spotless and comfortable. There's a breakfast bar equipped with food, snacks and coffee! Very accessible to bus stop to get to the city centre and cafes & convenient stores are within walking distance.

• Alexandru from Romania (10/10)

  The host is very friendly, helpful and detail-oriented! As soon as we arrived he gave us 2 maps and he offered to show us the surrounding supermarkets and good restaurants, the options to travel to the city center and some walking routes to visit main attractions.
  The room was very clean, equipped with hairdryer, basket with shower gel, non-slip shower mat, shower dry mat and plenty of cloth hangers. The host thoroughly cleans the room and the mats after every guest (I have seen him in action!)
  The kitchen is fully functional. The breakfast is italian style, not continental!
  The B&B Birba is located at about 20 minutes walking from the metro station Jonio (one of B1's endings). Metro is the most reliable form of transportation in Rome!
