We are staying at the Blue Inn Luxury Suites and need to get to the Vatican at 7:15 for our Pristine Sistine tour. We had planned to take the Barberini metro to Ottaviano but Barberini is one of the three stops which have been closed and my hope that it would be reopened by the end of the month is not looking good. I'm thinking we will need to walk to Termini and metro to Ottaviano from there? Is there a better option?
Thanks everyone!

I was thinking taxi but wasn’t sure how to arrange the pick up. It’s a bed and breakfast type place so there is no front desk who could assist with that.

You can use the mytaxi app to call a cab. It's a lot like Uber but uses taxis instead of independent drivers. If you need some reassurance that it works, search "rome mytaxi" in the search bar above.

You should also be able to get an Uber there. Very easy if you have the app.

According to Google Maps, there is a taxi stand on Piazza Barberini right near the Metro station. That's a short walk from your accommodation. Buon viaggio!
