| Thermal Hot Springs outside Rome Posted 28 Apr 2009 by Emma Jamieson  Head to Viterbo about 100 km North of Rome on the Cassia SS-2 road, or take the train to Viterbo from Termini Station. VIterbo is a small, medieval walled town with attractive spacious piazzas, historica Papal offices in ancient roman buildings and a pretty interesting arts and culture nightlife with a great Comics festival in OCtober.Just outside the city are a whole host of thermal hot sprin...more... |
| Holiday accommodation Roma – Piazza Navona - Pantheon - Campo dè Fiori Posted 26 Jul 2009 by Marco Lucarelli  I spent 7 unforgettable days in Rome. Usually, when I travel, I stay in Hotel but this time I followed a suggestion of friend of mine and I rent a comfortable and practical apartment located just 50 meters from the Piazza Navona and Pantheon and Campo dè Fiori (see the web portal http://www.leonholidayapartments.com). The stay has been cheaper and more comfortable than in the Hotel. I suggest ever...more... |
| Palazzo Massimo Alle Terme Posted 26 Jul 2009 by Sarah May Palazzo Massimo Alle Terme By Sarah May Grunwald One of my favorite places to visit in Rome is the not to be missed Palazzo Massimo alle terme. It houses the world's most important collection of Roman antiquities, and it is one of the least trafficked museums of its caliber. Yet, another way to avoid the nightmare of the Vatican. It is also in a convenient location, just steps away from...more... |
| Holiday home in Rome Posted 18 Jul 2009 by Marco Lucarelli  Leon Holiday Apartments is a company that offers apartments to rent in the centre of Rome. Their website is http://www.leonholidayapartments.com. I took an apartment in the Rione Monti area of the city near their office, which is right next to the Colosseum. The flat was excellent, accommodating four people easily. The staff all spoke English and were very friendly. The cost worked out to be almos...more... |
| Travel and Food Posted 13 Jul 2009 by Marco Lucarelli  When I travel I like to know the local cuisine. Last June I was in Rome ......... And I had a wonderful holiday with monuments, museums and the most beautiful and good restaurants in Rome Rome is full of restaurants of every genre and the quality of food is always good. The Roman cuisine offers at the same time fine dining restaurants with set menu and unformal trattorias or pizzerias of typica...more... |
| Villa Doria Pamphilli, Rome Posted 30 Jun 2009 by Emma Jamieson  Viall Doria Pamphilli has the most stunning gardens and its a great place to come for a picnic in the summer as there's a large pond for paddling and hundreds of ROme's characteristic maritime pines in whose shade to bask. The Villa itself is enormous and has a "secret" landscaped garden to the rear and an amphitheatre designed for summer musical concerts back in the 18th century. Stroll ou...more... |
| Holiday apartments instead of hotel Posted 28 Jun 2009 by Marco Lucarelli  I spent 7 unforgettable days in Rome. Usually, when I travel, I stay in Hotel but this time I followed a suggestion of friend of mine and I rent a comfortable and practical apartment located just 50 meters from the Piazza Navona and Pantheon and Campo dè Fiori (see the web portal http://www.leonholidayapartments.com or write tu info@leonholidayapartments.com ).

| Festa de l'Unita - food, music, peace and love in Italy! Posted 13 May 2009 by Emma Jamieson  The festa de l'Unita (Unity Festival) is an old hangover from the era of mega communism in Italy when it used to be a public festival sponsored by the Communist Party. Now its mostly an excuse for the Democratic Party to billboard entire cities, but politics aside, its a great way to enjoy a free festival, the balmy summer evenings and some real local Italian entertainment.My local Festa de l'...more... |
| Aperitivo in Italy Posted 23 Apr 2009 by Emma Jamieson  If you order a drink in a bar in Italy between 7.30 and about 9.30 p.m you generally get brought something to eat with it for free. This is aperitivo hour and in most cities in Italy, especially in the bigger bars or pubs, its a grand affair and definitely a great way to get a cheap meal and enjoy excellent tipples. So yes, if you see plates of food on the bar, help yourself, its free.The comm...more... |
| First time in Rome... Posted 23 Apr 2009 by Amelia  I have a few recommendations for things in Rome. This list will probably read a bit like any list from any guide book but what the heck, these are some of the unmissable sites in Rome that simply took my breath away. Before I went to Rome Paris was up there as one of my favourite cities of the world but I have to say that the podium is now shared with Roma-it's stunning! And I am sure there are hu...more... |
| Lake-swimming near Rome - Lago di Martingnano Posted 08 Apr 2009 by Emma Jamieson  Anyone who has decided to hit Rome between July and August, will no doubt welcome a brief beach respite from the unbearable heatwaves that the inner city often suffers.Rather than joining the 100,000 who will be flocking to Ostia, which is neither a clean, nor particularly pleasant beach, head to the cool hills north of Rome to this beautiful volcanic lake Martignano in an idyllic setting. Her...more... |
| 5 gourmet Italian sandwiches... Part One: Porchetta di Ariccia Posted 12 Mar 2009 by Emma Jamieson On a budget holiday and want to sample great local produce without breaking the bank, resorting to a tourist-'trap'toria or munching that ubiquitous backpacker’s nightmare the train station ham and cheese baguette? Here’s how to go about it, a regional guide to great “panini” using authentic, local, regional Italian produce… Panino One: Porchetta di Ariccia, Rome: Head out to Ariccia on a ...more... |
| Calcata mountain village - Another day trip from Rome Posted 10 Mar 2009 by Emma Jamieson  This stub of volcanic rock, jutting out of the green forests surrounding it and topped with a tiny city carved out of the stone itself is a retreat for artists who have come from all over to claim Calcata as their own, open up their workshops or simply escape the modern city to get back to nature. 45 minutes from Rome, in the province of Viterbo, it was repopulated by artists, bohemians and hippie...more... |
| Farfa Abbey - Gorgeous Day Trip from Rome Posted 10 Mar 2009 by Emma Jamieson  If the idea of visiting a Name of the Rose-style medieval abbey in perfect condition, with a library of 47,000 handwritten manuscripts many dating from 600-800 A.D and a Tolkien-style village of taverns and artisan's workshops contained within its walls gets you as excited as it does me, you need to visit Farfa Abbey. Preferably in a long cape with a gnarly wooden walking stick and pointy hat. F...more... |
| Cheap, Delightful Bed and Breakfast Posted 08 Feb 2009 by Emma Jamieson I Gatti di Roma is about ten minutes from the hustle and bustle of Rome's rather unattractive Termini station and yet sits down a quiet side alley in a traditional Roman gated palazzo with windows backing onto a leafy courtyard. 'I Gatti di Roma' bed and breakfast is little more than two traditional and tastefully decorated double bedrooms in the apartment of a prim and genteel Signora. It's no...more... |
| Le Bon Bock - Neeps and Tatties Roman style Posted 08 Feb 2009 by Emma Jamieson Feeling homesick or in need of a place that understands serious ale and whiskey? Feeling the urge for real Haggis and Neeps at 10 in the evening? CAn't imagine anything more apt to finish your Italian holiday than a plate of delicious mature stilton, nutty creamy cheddar and welsh Caerfilly cheese with oatcakes and a smoky Lagavulin? Me neither. THis cosy, vibrant little pub is one step up fro...more... |
| Bartaruga - le chic c'est not cheap! Posted 08 Feb 2009 by Emma Jamieson Bartaruga - Pub/Wine bar This is the kind of hip and quirky little bar you'd find anywhere from London, via Berlin to Reykjavik. It's not quite pub, not yet poncey wine bar and has enough style behind it to merit an insert in a super chic travel magazine. The only difference being that here, in the heart of one the world's greatest wine producing countries, in a city that by rights should have ...more... |
| Beyond the Colosseum: Rione Celio, Rome Posted 02 Feb 2009 by Emma Jamieson A Right Roman Frolic in Rione Celio. Mid-afternoon in May, the sun beats off the cobblestones. A stone’s throw away from the sweat and bustle of the Colosseum metro stop, heaving with its bus tour umbrella-followers and hormonal teenage school trippers, I sit, basking in the shade of a maritime pine, gazing out onto acres of luscious green grass dotted with lovers, students and the occasional c...more... |
| The Devil's Fondue in Rome Posted 02 Feb 2009 by Emma Jamieson Fonduteria Lucifero Via dei Capellari, 28 00186 Rome This tavern-like restaurant offers every type of fondue imaginable, from swiss, to chocolate, via bourguignonne, including the mouth-watering Piemontese special: A Tomino cheese fondue laced with the highly prized White truffle of Alba, which, in the week we dined there, was checking in at a cool 6 euros per gram. ?This is not a place to...more... |
