[revised November 2021] In time of Covid-19 we learnt some times you cannot travel and have just to wait and dream.

Posted on Dec 13, 2019 in Foodies & Shopaholics, Planning Support, On your own

[revised August 2022] There is such a wide choice of places and options to eat in Rome: street food? A gelato? A fancy restaurant with a view? A traditional trattoria? A wine-bar for fine tastings?

[revised December 2021] There are thousands of different options for your accommodation in Rome and it is quite impossible to have a full updated list of all the hotels, B&Bs, hostels, religious institutions, campings, apartments… we simply recommend caution in the choice of location, especially if you are visiting Rome for the first time: lodgings’ websites […]

Posted on Apr 13, 2016 in Arts and History, On your own

Rome on own

Posted on Feb 1, 2016 in Planning Support, On your own

[revised December 2021] We believe the guidance of a local expert will make a big difference in your Roman Holiday, of course!
