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.

La Vineria

This tiny wine bar has long-time regulars lounging at the outside tables.
La Vineria

This historic wine bar is an established favourite with the locals. Smoky and definitely cosy during the winter, but spilling out onto the Campo de’ Fiori in the summer. Prices for wine and beer are low, especially if you stand at the bar, and there are a few well-chosen snacks.
Lacrima Christi

“Tears of Christ”, a white wine from the slopes of the infamous Mount Vesuvius near Pompeii.
Largo di Torre Argentina

Discovered in the 1920s, four Republican temples stand out distinctly, with the columns of a portico at the north end. The drainage gutters of an Imperial public latrine are behind one temple, and behind others stands the tufa-block platform of the Curia of the Theatre of Pompey. Caesar was killed here on 15 March 44 BC.
Largo di Torre Argentina

The important ruins of four Republican temples (one dating back to the 4th century BC) were uncovered here in 1925. On the northwest side is the pleasing façade of the 18th-century Teatro Argentina, with its inscription to the Muses. Many operas received their debuts here in the 19th century, including Rossini’s Barber of Seville . It was a crashing flop on its first night, but only because his enemy, Pauline Bonaparte, had paid a gaggle of hecklers.
Laura Biagiotti

Designer who has made stylish fashions for women since 1972. In menswear, she uses the soft wool that has earned her the moniker “Queen of Cashmere”.
Leon Holiday Apartments

Leon Holiday Apartments is a company that offers apartments to rent in the centre of Rome. Their website is http://www.leonholidayapartments.com. The staff all spoke English and were very friendly. The cost worked out to be almost as much as it would be to stay in a hostel. Being so central, all the sights are within easy walking distance. It really made the trip.

Our apartments are all elegantly furnished, fully equipped with every comfort and well serviced. All our properties are carefully selected, controlled and managed exclusively by us directly. We guarantee that the proposed flats meet our standards of quality in terms of location and services.

Moreover you can take advantage of all our additional services (booking museums, restaurants, guided tours, where to eat in rome, and information regarding major events and best places to visit in Rome in the period requested) for a pleasant stay in complete freedom. In addition we are used to, upon request, prepare a mini Rome Travel Guide with all the information needed to live the city and the specific area chosen.

Leon Holiday Apartments suggest to their guest a list the best restaurants in Rome, in the vicinity of our holiday apartments. Each of the central areas of the city where we are present is characterized by its own traditions and typical restaurants / pizzerias. Make sure to try these restaurants and trattorias during your visit in Rome...I think good food makes traveling even more enjoyable!

To more information see the web portal http://www.leonholidayapartments.com The stay has been cheaper and more comfortable than in the Hotel. I suggest everyone who is planning a trip to Rome to rent their apartment.
Leonardo da Vinci’s St Jerome

Barely sketched out, yet compelling for its anatomical precision and compositional experimentation. Jerome forms a spiral that starts in the mountains, runs across the cave entrance and lion’s curve, up the saint’s outstretched right arm, then wraps along his left arm and hand into the centre.
