Putting the romance back into
Rome
Guest blog
What’s this all about?
Rome, Romance. How could the two not go together?
Daunting traffic may make you think twice about zipping
around the city on a Vespa like Audrey Hepburn and Cary
Grant in Roman Holiday. But nothing can detract you from
the sheer emotion of sharing a multi-hued sunset behind the
dome of St. Peter’s, a walk in the footsteps of romantic
poets or an ice cream at a pavement café table as the
theatrical scene that is Rome rushes by.
Aventine Hill and the Giardino degli
Aranci
Tranquil, beautiful and atmospheric, there’s no doubt that the
Aventine Hill is for lovers. Don’t miss the medival churches, like
Basilica of Santa Sabina, or the Giardino degli Aranci, a garden said
to have been started when St. Dominic planted Rome’s first
orange tree in the 13th century.
It’s the little surprises the Aventine Hill hides through that makes
the stroll especially charming. The headquarters of the Priory of
Knights of Malta, the only private organisation in the world to also
be a sovereign state, are located – of all places – here. Peek
through the headquarters’ keyhole and you see the dome of St.
Peter’s, perfectly framed.
Roseto – Rose garden
For an unusual and headily romantic evening out, take your
beloved on to the Roseto, Rome’s public rose garden. In the
evenings you can dine, drink, wander through the roses,
enjoy views over the ruined Palatinem or enjoy food tastings
and talks. Alternatively, in the day time, entrance is free and
there are great romantic photo opportunities alongside
dreamy pink roses or by heart shaped topiary.
Campo de’ Fioro
A romantic refuge at the heart of the centro storico, this 23
room boutique hotel exudes charm from its ivy covered
façade to its plush theatrical bedrooms and secret roof
terrace. Elements of Venice and Paris, as well as the Eternal
City are thrown into the hotel’s warm, extrovert design mix.
Del Senato
Del Senato is popular with travellers who are
looking for romance and atmosphe4re but with all
the comforts and services of a traditional three star
hotel thrown in. It’s the classic antique filled
traditional Roman hotel, except that the Del Senato
is elegant, highly polished and full of fresh flowers.
