Accommodation

Charming boutique hotels, convents and farmhouse - style accommodation have been carefully selected for their special character and to offer you varied settings and atmosphere; rural, town, coast, or inland hilltop.

We try to stay in a particular location for a few days at a time reducing travel time between and around to a minimum, enabling you to have as much time as possible to best sample the delights of each region.

In Rome you will stay in a quiet, well appointed hotel located in a quiet corner of Flaminio just outside the historical centre and within walking distance to Piazza del Popolo, via di Corso and the Spanish Steps. This is an ideal place to be based should you want to acquaint or reacquaint yourselves with the charms of historical Rome.

Actual hotels are subject to availability at the time of final booking of each tour.

Hotels are typically four star or equivalent if they do not fit the criteria for a star rating. Converted convents typically fall into this category.
