Hotels in Rome – Wave hello to the Pope
Rome’s traffic is totally beserk and you take your life in your hands every time you cross a busy road. They should hand out suits of car-proof armour on the way in. In a startling contrast the inside of Rome’s many museums are silent and echoing, all marble hallways and velvet hangings. We got lost in one once. We nearly died from acute thirst, severe hunger pangs and a surfeit of art. Thankfully the better hotels in Rome have excellent sound proofing. The four star Hotel Cicerone is in an exclusive district, practically on the Spanish steps and close enough for rock ‘n’ roll to Vatican City. Choose hotels in Rome in this area and enjoy waving at the Pope within minutes of wandering out of the lobby.
Rome Hotels – Italians giving each other croggies…!
Rome hotels. There are some beauties. Everyone under eighty rides a scooter in Rome. Sometimes they give each other croggies. What’s a croggie? It’s a tan, of course. What’s a tan? Same as a croggie. It’s a dangerous and illicit ride dangling off the back seat of someone’s bicycle. If we did that here in the UK we’d be in hot water. Ask at any of the hotels in Rome and they’ll point you towards a decent scooter hire place. The 3 star Eurostars Domus Aurea is quiet but central, 100 meters from the Termini railway station and Rome’s Underground system. Cool for the Diocleziano Bath, the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore and the unforgettable Via Veneto.
Hotels in Rome – Climb Rome’s seven hills for astonishing views
