Loved by Deseo Home Guest House guests
"As their website suggests, this place is for those who find a B&B too basic but a hotel too impersonal."
"Our room was extremely quiet, we had a perfect rest every day sleeping as well as in our own home."
"Couldn't find anything to complain about! Great service, good location, refrigerator with cold water in the room, clean and comfortable, elevator, tea and coffee available 24h, 12min walk distance to the main train station, good price, very nice breakfast!"

Location & Transportation
Deseo Home is on Via Palestro 3, in Rome's Central Station area, surrounded by embassies, consulates, and ministries. It is a 12-minute walk from Via Nazionale shopping, 2 km from Piazza Venezia and Trevi Fountain, and 1 km from the Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels. Rome Termini Station is 15 minutes on foot or a 3-stop bus ride (lines 16, 66, 82). Private transfers from Fiumicino Airport start at €55; from Ciampino Airport, €40.
Services & Amenities
The staff speaks Italian, English, French, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, and Portuguese. They provide maps and itinerary recommendations. Secure parking is available at Castro Pretorio garage for €25 per day (medium car) or €30 (SUV). Safety features include fire extinguishers, a security system, and a first aid kit.
Unique Features
The property occupies the highest point in central Rome-all roads from the building lead downhill. The building houses local Italian families, creating a community atmosphere. Room designs mix classic and contemporary elements, with each category offering distinct personalities and layouts.
“Deseo Home is a clean and quiet guest house in a secure area of Rome, placing guests within a short walk of Termini station and the Via Nazionale shopping area. The multilingual staff aims to provide warm, personalized service, and discounted parking is available; however, keep in mind that the location of the nearest police station isn't readily known by all staff. Overall, it's a solid choice, especially for couples looking for intimacy and a central location.”
