La Casa Di Iulia

Hotel Description

So I stumbled across La Casa Di Iulia during one of those “let’s just walk around and see what we find” afternoons in Rome, and honestly? I’m kind of mad I didn’t know about this place sooner. It’s tucked away on Via Fabio Massimo in the Prati district – you know, that area where actual Romans live and work instead of just posing for tourist photos. The building itself has this understated elegance that immediately made me think “okay, someone here actually cares about details.” The lobby smells faintly of that good Italian coffee mixed with something floral, maybe jasmine? And the woman at reception greeted me in three languages within the first thirty seconds, which I mean, that’s just Rome for you.

What really got me was how they’ve managed to feel both polished and lived-in at the same time. The rooms have these beautiful hardwood floors that creak just slightly when you walk – not enough to be annoying, but enough to remind you you’re in a real building with some history. The bathroom tiles are this gorgeous deep green marble that probably costs more than my rent, but then there’s also a little handwritten note about the best nearby bakery for morning cornetti. It’s that kind of place where you can tell the staff actually knows the neighborhood. They sent me to this tiny wine bar three blocks away that doesn’t even have a sign, just a wooden door that opens into heaven.

Location-wise, you’re about a fifteen-minute walk to the Vatican if you’re into that scene, but honestly the real magic is being in Prati itself. Via Cola di Rienzo is right there with all the shopping you could want, and the morning market on Via Andrea Doria – well, let’s just say I may have bought enough pecorino to last me through winter. The metro stop at Ottaviano is close enough when you need it, but far enough that you don’t hear the rumble at night. Speaking of nights, this area gets properly quiet after about 10 PM, which was perfect for someone like me who actually wants to sleep in a city that never seems to rest. The only real downside? Parking is absolutely brutal if you’re driving, but honestly, why would you drive in Rome anyway? The hotel’s 8.6 rating makes total sense to me – it’s not trying to be the fanciest place in the city, but everything they do, they do really well. You’ll pay a bit more than some of the tourist traps near the Colosseum, but you’ll also wake up feeling like you actually experienced Rome instead of just surviving it.

  Conveniently located near the Vatican Museum and St. Peter’s square. Albert & Ohnness were very helpful and responsive. Even proactive as to our arrival ETA. And our checkout. We locked our phone in the room and Ohness came just in time and even called us a cab. So helpful and we are so grateful. Thank you Casa di Iulia!

  As mentioned above, La Casa Di Iulia exceeded our expectations in every sense and has really been our home away from home for this visit to Rome in the best sense possible. Great communication with the hosts, easy access, top-level state of the property/facilities/services, cleanliness and availability for requested additional maintenance, superb location and ideal conditions for rest after long tours in very hot weather have played a significant part in our most memorable birthday trip to Rome. We heartily recommend this property and its hosts, knowing that we shall surely be back (soon).
