A Private Tour to Rome
The vast, sprawling Palazzo Colonna, the seat of this ancient Roman family, is filled with treasures: the apartments of Princess Isabelle, and the famous Galleria, the most splendid Baroque room in Rome, with frescoes glorifying Marcantonio Colonna, victor of the battle of Lepanto.
The Capitoline museums, housed in the Campidoglio designed by Michelangelo’s, contain a magnificent collection of classical sculpture, including the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius and the Dying Gaul. The tabularium affords a breathtaking view over the Forum, the historic heart of ancient Rome.
Hotel: The Hotel d’Inghilterra is Rome’s most charming Five Star hotel. In a wonderful central location, just near the Piazza di Spagna and Via Condotti, it offers a perfect blend of modern comfort and elegant interiors with antique furniture.
