DK Travel : Rome

Although functioning as a vibrant, modern capital akin to any in Europe, the unique appeal of Rome is that the entire city is a vast, 3,000-year-old, indoor-outdoor museum. In every quarter you’ll find ancient monuments, art treasures and timeless architecture in churches, galleries and protected ruins. Home to the world’s smallest city, the Vatican, Rome has religion at its heart and history in its soul – a city that dazzles and inspires visitors time and time again.

Hotel Genio

Via Zanardelli n° 28. Hotel Genio Rome is a five stories neo-renassaince building, completely renewed with a wonderful terrace on the top where you can have an overlook of the whole center of Rome and its monuments.
Hotel Lancelot

This is a small family run hotel situated beside the Collosseum and within walking distance of the Domus Aurea, the Forum and the Palatine. It's convenience is matched by it's relaxed yet efficient atmosphere and it's friendly staff, who are directed by the owner, Mrs.Khan in person. I have to go back!
Hotel Mercure Delta Colosseo

It may look a bit modern but the surroundings could hardly be more ancient. You can see the colosseum as soon as you step out of the door and its only a short walk in the other direction to St John Lateran, the parish church of Rome. The ideal place to be if you don't fancy playing sardines on the city's public transport.
Hotel Ottaviano

Private hotel/hostel, just outside the Vatican walls. Friendly, English-speaking staff and no curfew. Satellite TV, internet access, lockers, tourist information and maps, but no breakfast served. Run by the same people as Hotel Sandy.
I Giganti della Notte

A newcomer to the Campo scene, but already a favourite with a young, good-looking crowd. Great outsize hi-tech decor and modern rock music inside; lots of tables and standing room outside.
II Goccetto

Considered by connoisseurs to be Rome’s premier wine shop, more than 500 labels are available to try by the glass. The proprietor’s expertise is at your disposal when selecting which bottles to take home.
Il Bacaro

Booking is essential at this tiny osteria . Though contemporary inside, it feels like old Rome when sitting at an outdoor table against the ivy-covered walls. The cuisine is unusual traditional dishes from across Italy.
Il Brillo Parlante

Popular basement eatery packed with locals enjoying huge plates of salad and delicious pizzas.
Il Ciak

Excellent game dishes are among the offerings served in this typical Tuscan trattoria .
Il Convivio

For a special night out. One of the historic centre’s best restaurants, with strictly seasonal cuisine based on Italian traditions and an excellent wine list.
