The Grand Pantheum Suite

Villa Torlonia is an architectural jewel in full liberty style, and played a leading role in 20th century history. It was founded as an agricultural estate, and over the centuries became the property of some of the most important families in Rome. Even Benito Mussolini succumbed to its charm, so much that he moved his residence here. Its surprising and mysterious buildings - perfect to enchant children and adults (the Cascina delle Civette, the neoclassical Casino Nobile and the renaissance era Casino dei Principi, as well as Mussolini’s bunker) - will plunge you in a timeless atmosphere that has lived through the history of the city and its nation.

Your private guide will pick you up at home and take you for a walk through picturesque shortcuts to discover the mighty beauty of Piazza Venezia, the ancient charm of the Pantheon and the curious legend that surrounds the Tower of the Monkey and its everlit lantern. You will live the Dolce Vita in Piazza di Spagna and breathe in the arts and crafts of Via Margutta. You will see places that are symbolic of the Eternal City as well as visit the workshops of artisans and taste traditional delicacies at local groceries, ice creams parlors and cafés populated on a daily basis by the people of Rome.

Rome is without a doubt the paradise of designer shopping.

On Via Condotti you will find the major names of Italian fashion and more (Gucci, Ferragamo, Louis Vuitton, Armani, Michael Kors, Jimmy Choo, Tiffany, Cartier, Bulgari, Dior). Via del Babuino and Via Margutta are ideal destinations for art and antique lovers. Your shopping experience will achieve breathtaking heights in Piazza di Spagna, which is why Italian brands like Gucci, Bulgari and Valentino chose to locate their stores near the square.

Koylos. The "womb". And the Mount Celio is the womb. In the intimacy of the Eternal City, in the most secret of the hills. Underground, Nero's "golden house". Above, the Baths of Trajan. Over all, the shadow of the golden Colossus. And the Amphitheater built by the Flavians. Tremendous, huge. The idea of the power of Rome and its "existence" for the people. We leave the window overlooking the Colosseum. We go down, we point with the eye the obelisk of Ozymandias, that from Ramses II was remedied by Sixtus V to the Savior. In the apse of the church of Quattro Coronati, we enter the Gothic Hall, the only complete pictorial cycle of this art in Rome. We climb to Villa Celimontana, entering the Casino of the Villa Mattei di Giove, where Filippo Neri created the tradition of the pilgrimage in Rome. From here, towards the Antiquarium Comunale with the remains of the monuments found during the great demolitions of Fascism, we descend into the valley of the Colosseum, enter the arena, and then look at the Seven Halls of the Baths of Trajan. But then, it's back in the womb. A small door, narrow on the street. A spiral staircase. And we are among the decorations in shells and limestone of the Nymphaeum of the Annibaldi.
