The latest addition to Rocco Forte’s Italian hotel collection strives to transform its 18th century palazzo setting into Rome’s most vibrant hotel. Situated at the top of the Spanish Steps, the 5* Hotel de la Ville re-opened in 2019 and combines rich tradition and history with modern luxury. Rooms are both elegant and extremely spacious, designed in collaboration by Olga Polizzi and Tommaso Ziffer. They are bedecked with contemporary furnishings and fabrics which are influenced by the era of the Grand Tour, merging perfectly with the traditional wooden floors and providing excellent views over Via Sistina and Rome’s rooftops. The hotel’s main Mosaico restaurant, run by Michelin-starred chef Fulvio Pierangelini, serves dishes crafted from local, seasonal produce and inspired by the many cultures which made up the Roman Empire, bringing together flavours from Africa, the Middle East and across Europe. The experience is completed by the perfect accompanying wine from the extensive collection of world-leading labels. For a more laid-back atmosphere, Da Sistina serves classic Italian cuisine in a space inspired by traditional Roman trattoria. One of the most striking features of the hotel is its rooftop terrace, where it is possible to enjoy breakfast and lunch during warmer weather whilst enjoying the panoramic views over Rome. At the end of a long day of exploring you may want to make the most of the De la Ville Spa, set across two floors and featuring 6 treatment rooms, hydro pool, steam room and sauna.

The journey and how you get there
For a holiday to the Rocco Forte Hotel de la Ville in Rome, our clients usually fly to Rome Fiumicino airport or arrive by train at Rome Termini railway station. From the airport, we recommend a private car transfer which we would include in our holiday price. It is an 8-minute taxi journey from the train station to the hotel. If you are visiting Rome as part of a tailor-made touring holiday, we recommend returning your hire-car upon arrival in Rome, and then if you need a car to continue the itinerary, collecting another one when you leave.

About Rome
An Expressions tailor-made holiday to Rome is a trip to the capital city of Italy and, as the capital city of the Roman Empire, a place which was widely regarded as the birth place of western civilisation. The city has a unique atmosphere of any in Italy, due to its huge wealth of sites to see, dating back not just from the Roman era, but from mediaeval and Renaissance periods as well and you could spend a lifetime visiting all the historical and architectural sites the city has to offer. Most visitors come to Rome to see the foundations of the Roman Empire in the form of the Colosseum, The Forum Romanum and the Circus Maximus, to name but a few. However, visitors nearly always allow time for a visit to the Vatican Museum and the Basilica of St Peter, even if they choose not to visit any other non-Roman historical sites! The variety of places to visit in Rome can be over whelming and it is best to plan in advance what you wish to see within the time you have and stick to it, rather than planning whilst you are there. The historic centre is perfectly manageable on foot as it is in fact quite compact. However, there is a comprehensive metro system that runs around the historic centre, rather than through it (for obvious reasons), with its intersection at the main Rome Termini station. The two lines of the metro are easy to navigate and can be a swift and inexpensive way of reaching monuments or museums which are further away from each other.
Highlights of Rome
If the monuments, museums and historical sites become too overwhelming then Rome is also the perfect place for a spot of retail therapy, particularly shoes and clothes. The Apian way just outside the city is where a large proportion of the Roman catacombs are, as well as the baths of Caracalla. There are also numerous famous gardens in and around Rome namely the Borghese Gardens, The Gardens of Villa Doria Pamphili, Villa Torlonia, Villa Ada and the Park of Aqueducts.
Cultural highlights of Rome
The Colosseum, The Forum, The Pantheon, Circus Maximus, Domus Aurea, Trajan’s Market, The Vatican Museum, The Basilica of St Peter, The Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, The Capitoline Museum, The Borghese Gallery.
Festivals in Rome
The Estate Romana is a festival which lasts throughout the summer months and encompasses many cultural activities including concerts and street performances. The Noantri Festival is at the beginning of July and has its roots in early Christianity. The statue of the Vergine del Carmine is carried through the streets of the Trastevere district of Rome and there is much feasting and merriment. There are numerous arts and antiques fairs which take place in the autumn in Rome and the city attracts a wide range of musicians and art collections throughout the year.
Gastronomy in Rome
The gastronomy of Rome is hearty but simple, based on numerous ways of cooking fresh vegetables, particularly artichokes and courgettes (zucchini), salt cod, hearty soups and meat sauces and various pasta shapes and tomato sauces, particularly using garlic and chilli. The most famous wines of the area are the Frascati wines, however the area to the south also produces excellent Cesanese wines.
