Apartment Serena

Apartment Serena Apartment is part of the Inn at the Roman Forum, and located in the ancient centre of Rome, the capital city of Italy, half down its west coast. The apartment is just sixteen kilometres from Rome’s international Ciampino Airport, which can be reached by either a taxi or a direct train ride. The main Roma Termini train station is a kilometre away, and the nearest underground station is Cavour.

There is something for everyone to enjoy when you holiday in Rome, whether its ancient history and culture, renaissance art and architecture, music and opera, food and fashion, or the simply joy of sipping a cappuccino in a street side café and watching people pass by, the Eternal City has got the lot. Apartment Serena Apartment is set in the heart of historic ancient Rome, with iconic sights just a short stroll away. Walk in the steps of the Caesars, poets, and philosophers as you stroll down the stone street of the Via dei Fori Imperiali, and follow the route from the ancient Forum to the amphitheatre of the Colosseum.

Everywhere you go there are ornate churches, rich with decorative icons, don’t miss a visit to the nearby Church of Saints Quirico and Giulitta, with its impressive Romanesque Bell Tower. No visit to Rome is complete without a walk through the Vatican Museum and its magnificent art collection. Look up and admire Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel ceiling, then take the double helix staircase to the glory that is the Basilica of St Peter. For some fine art make sure you don’t miss the Borghese Gallery, set in a gorgeous garden, housing the incredible collection of Canova marble sculptures.

On the stroll back stop at Harry’s Bar for a Bellini, then walk down the Spanish steps and visit the Romantic poet Keat’s house, before sampling English muffins at the famous Babington’s Tea Rooms, established in 1893. Saunter down the iconic Via dei Condotti, and window shop for fabulous fashion designer brand labels, and must-have hand crafted leather handbags. Enjoy the bustling squares of Piazza Barberini and Navona, and marvel at the famous marble Trevi fountain. See the light at the Pantheon, aim for noon for maximum illumination. Go to the outskirts of the city and across the Old Appian Way to discover the hidden treasures of the catacombs, join a guided tour, or make your own way there.

If you fancy a day trip out of Rome, the town of Tivoli is just thirty kilometres away, where you can visit Hadrian’s Villa, and the exquisite Villa D’Este. During the day dine on freshly made pizza and pasta and homemade ice cream, eat alfresco in one of the many squares, sit back and people watch as the world and the beautiful people pass by. In the evening take a trip to the foodie heaven of Trastevere, and taste the delights of traditional Italian cooking, just like nonna used to make, in one of its many restaurants.
