The Grand Brunetti

Lose yourself among the medieval alleys of the most bohemian ‘village’ in the heart of Rome. Walking through narrow and winding streets, you will discover the Basilica of Santa Cecilia, the church built to honour the patron saint of musicians, and the annexed Benedictine convent where, with our special permission, you will be able to listen to ritual chants of the nuns that have charge of the basilica. An enchanting and mystical experience that will continue by visiting the fascinating baroque church of San Francesco a Ripa and the Bernini Chapel. Naturally, we would never miss taking a delicious break to taste the oven pizza in Vicolo del Cinque, a must for Romans and visitors alike. Afterwards, dive back into the splendours of the Renaissance in Villa Farnesina, amongst the wonders of Raphael and the Botanical Garden.

Would you like to be chauffeured easily and comfortably from the airport to your Grand home? We will send a premium or luxury car according to your preference and to the number of guests arriving, and the chauffeur will take you directly to your home. 

Perhaps few know that Rome’s history is far more unconventional than Greece when it comes to sexuality. This emotional journey will take you inside the sophisticated and eccentric ZouZou, first sensual entertainment boutique in the city. Amongst the beauty and intricate design of the objects on display, which include some of the most exclusive artists in this field (including Shiri Zinn, designer of the collection of Crystal Dildos exhibited at the Museum of Sex in New York), the erotic novelist will share the history of sexuality from the time of Imperial Rome and the passionate execution of Messalina to present days.

The laurel wreath of Apollo, which gave its name to the most famous theater in Rome, today crowns the fabrics and designs of one of the most renowned fashion school in the world.

The same laurel that gives its name to the great complex created by the Piceni, where the Church of Ottaviano Mascherino still shows the statue of the Black Madonna near the works of Umberto Mastroianni. The myth of Rome represented by a graffiti on the walls of Via della Maschera d'Oro leads us to the temple dedicated to rhythm, where Rafaello, Peruzzi and Pietro da Cortona praise the triumph of Della Rovere family. From the theater-square of Pietro da Cortona we will disappear and admire the “vicoli” until we cross the threshold of Bluebeard's castle.
