ItaliaPass Welcome Lounge

You already have people in Rome

The moment you land, someone is expecting you. Not a check-in desk. Not a waiting room. A real person — Giulia, Virginia, Elisa or Francesco — who knows your name, has your welcome gift ready, and has set time aside to get your Roman holiday off to a perfect start.

This is Own Rome: three welcome bases across the city, each with an in-person concierge, included with your ItaliaPass membership.

More than a lounge — it's your first appointment in Rome

Some guests imagine an airport-style lounge: a place to sit if you happen to be passing by. That's not what this is.

When you book your welcome, a private room is prepared for you, your ItaliaPack is packed with your names on it, and your host blocks out that time to be entirely at your service. Here's what a visit actually looks like:

• Drop your bags and exhale. A cool, quiet space that's yours — a coffee in the morning, a spritz or glass of wine later in the day.
• Collect your ItaliaPack. Your welcome gift, handed over in person on Day 1.
• Sit down with your concierge. Trains, tickets, restaurants, what to do first — ask anything. Our hosts have found seats for shows with minutes to spare, bought museums tickets on the spot, and rescued more than one first day.
• Leave with a plan. Before you go, your host lays out three great options for your day: settle in, explore easily, or dive into an experience. Three good choices. You can't go wrong.

Already included in your membership — this isn't an upsell, it's a benefit you own. The only mistake is not using it.

Your ItaliaPack, waiting with your name on it

Every Primo member picks up their welcome kit in person at any of our three bases:

• ItaliaPass t-shirt — adult and kids' sizes (one guest told us it saved the day after a lost bag)
• Water bottle — for long days of walking on Roman cobblestones
• Travel adapter — so your hairdryer and chargers work from night one

Three bases. One is close to you.

Wherever you're staying in Rome, you've got people nearby. Every base offers the same welcome — the refreshments, the ItaliaPack, the concierge time — so choose by location, not by what's included. Not sure which one? Tell us where you're staying when you book and we'll point you to the best fit.

I. Welcome Lounge — Roma Termini Station

Right inside Rome's main station. Step off your Frecciarossa — or the Leonardo Express from Fiumicino Airport — and you've already arrived. A calm, air-conditioned room away from the station crowds.
This is where our hosts work their everyday magic: tracking your onward train, showing you to the right platform through the shortcuts, sorting tickets for your next stop while you finish your coffee.
Perfect for: arrivals by train or airport express, travelers with time between connections, and anyone waiting for hotel check-in.

II. Trastevere Villa & Lounge

Less waiting room, more Roman living room. Guests arrive expecting a lounge and find a home — a leafy, welcoming villa in Rome's most beloved neighborhood, where you can settle in with a cold glass of wine and talk about Italian life with your host.
It's also our experience hub: the natural meeting point before cooking classes, dinners and evening plans in the historic center.
Perfect for: stays in Trastevere or the centro storico, families, and travelers who want to slow down and soak it in.

III. Vatican Lounge

Your anchor on the west side of the river. If you're staying near the Vatican, Prati or Borgo — or spending the day at the basilica and museums — this is your closest landing spot. A quiet place to regroup, refresh, and plan with your host before heading back out.
Perfect for: stays on the Vatican side of the Tiber, and as a base before or after your Vatican tour.

Good to know before you arrive

Why we ask about your arrival when you book. Your flight or train details aren't a formality — they're how your host times your welcome. We prepare your room and your ItaliaPack for the moment you walk in, and if your train runs late, we'll know before you do.

Someone is genuinely waiting for you. When you book, one of our hosts reserves that time for you personally. It's a real appointment — the good kind, with a spritz at the end.

Plans change — no problem, just tell us. Flight delayed, itinerary flipped, jet lag winning? Send us a message and we'll move your welcome to another day or another base, free of course. What we'd hate is for you to skip it: it's already yours, and guests who almost skipped it tell us it was the best decision of their first day.

Traveling as a group? Let us know how many you'll be so we can set up the room — kids' t-shirt sizes included.

Your place in Rome is waiting

1. Book your welcome. Choose the base closest to where you're staying and pick a morning or afternoon slot.

2. Tell us how you're arriving. Share your flight or train details and we'll send simple directions from exactly where you'll land — and have everything ready when you walk in.

3. Walk in and exhale. Drop your bags, enjoy a coffee or spritz, collect your ItaliaPack, and leave with a plan.
