  1. Pictures are wonderful. Great Article! After reading your blog, I will definitely plan for Rome. I love to travel and explore new things as much as i can do.

    Thanks!

  2. When in Rome … as the old saying goes .. stay in a luxury 17th Century Palazzo.

    I like the idea of the freedom of self-catering.

    The location is good too. Central Road can be very noisy what with whining mopeds, music and dancing plus locals having heated arguments about football. Also Romans often go to bed far later than me.

    A perfect Palazxo.

  3. Accommodation fit for a Roman Emperor. Even Caesar would have been impressed by the mod-cons and level of finish at this place. Beginning to think of a Rome Trip for next Spring, so searched for Rome on ALTB and found this. Prayers answered.

  4. I’ve never been to Rome but I’d want to stay somewhere pretty central so this sounds perfect. Strange that it’s a hidden gem when it sounds so well located with all the mod cons and luxuries you could want. It’s a fascinating structure. Just checked elsewhere and Residence Palazzo al Velabro gets some fantastic reviews. Sounds like the kind of place you’d want if you’re staying for a few weeks as well as a short holiday, a bit of a home away from home.
