Luxury bespoke holidays and tours to Hotel d'Inghilterra, Rome
The Hotel d'Inghilterra enjoys a superlative position in the pedestrianised heart of the old town of Rome a couple of hundred yards from the famous Spanish Steps. The street it occupies lies between the Via Condotti and the Via Borgognona, two of the most famous shopping streets in the world and certainly two that must contain the highest concentration of designer clothes, shoes, bags and other accessories (Valentino, Gucci, Fendi etc., etc.). The whole quarter is a sheer delight in its own right, with numerous restaurants and cafes as well, although most of the rest of the famous monuments of Rome are also within walking distance from the d'Inghilterra, including the Roman Forum and Colosseum, Piazza Navona and St Peter's Square. The Hotel d'Inghilterra occupies an historic palace and today is a 5-star hotel with 88 rooms. The hotel has a tremendous Roman feel to it, with its bar and luncheon room full with local business people during the week. The Hotel d'Inghilterra prides itself on being comfortable and discreet in an unpretentious way; it has very much the comfort and style of its sister hotel, the Helvetia and Bristol in Florence, and we have been extremely impressed with the atmosphere in the public rooms, the quality of the service and the high levels of comfort and decoration in the bedrooms. The rooms are on a total of six floors reached by lift, and are all air-conditioned. The public areas of lounges, comfortable panelled bar and luncheon/tea room ooze charm and cosiness with their decoration, art (there is for example an original collection of 16th Century Neapolitan gouaches in one of the lounges) and exquisite displays of fresh flowers. There is also a restaurant boasting a beautiful al fresco dining area. One note: due to the location of the Hotel d'Inghilterra it is not advisable to drive to the hotel; we recommend that you allow for either picking up your hire car after your stay in Rome or dropping it off beforehand.

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.
