A little bit about Rome

For those of you who have never visited Rome then you will amazed at how much there is to see and do, while for those who have been here many times, well you know yourselves the reasons you keep coming back. But for us here is just a short list of why Rome is so special:

  • Ancient Roman monuments such as the Coluseum, Forum and Pantheon to name but a few.
  • Renaissance Rome with its many buildings, fountains, piazzza's, sculptures and museums containing priceless works of art.
  • Romantic Rome: watch the sun set over Rome from the Gianicolo, stroll from the Spanish Steps to the Trevi Fountain, an icecream in the shade of the Coluseum or a candle light dinner in Trastevere or Testaccio.
  • The Vatican City and other beautiful Basilicas and churches: All the major Basilicas are easily reached by public transport and even San Paolo Fuori Le Mura is only 2 stops on the metro going out of town.
  • And of course some people just come for the food, shopping and people watching in what is one of the most fashionable cities in the world.

Whatever you do on your stay in Rome we are sure you will have a wonderful time and remember to throw a coin in the Trevi Fountain before you leave to ensure that you will come back again some day!

If you have the time during your stay why not visit one of the many catacombs along the via Appia or perhaps take a trip to the ancient Roman port of Ostia Antica. Both of these wonderful sites are easily reached from the apartment being only about 30 minutes away on public transport.
