Rome & Lazio holiday apartments, homes and villas

Why choose a holiday home in Rome & Lazio?

Lazio contains the beating heart of Italy. You can travel the Province of Rome across the flat lands of the Tiber Valley, visit the sea, or explore the mountains of Tolfa and Monti Sabatini. You may become infatuated with the people and countryside but it is nothing compared to Rome.

Over half the population of this region lives in and around Rome. Here you will learn the meaning of "love at first sight" over and over again. Contemporary life swirls around the world's greatest monuments. Cigar smoking priests, backpacking students, tour groups, and locals add to the cacophony of culture that assaults all your senses.

There is a reverence that clings to the ancient architectural masterpieces. The uniqueness of the Vatican, the grandeur of St. Peter's Basilica, and the Pantheon are standing realities created from visions long vanished.

Think about a luxurious 2-3 hour meal enjoyed on a square outside of a wonderful restaurant. Try to digest the presence of Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. Imagine the city gathering to cheer the gladiators in the Colosseum. The speeches that vibrated in the Roman Senate and stirred the hearts of politicians and people hang in the air.

The Sistine Chapel by day and cutting edge entertainment at night would astound the citizens of early Rome. Today's Italy embraces the past and the present with enthusiasm.

There is an ultra modern nightlife that is a magnet for the outlandishly dressed to the hip elite. There is a musical palette that ranges from classic to contemporary. There is something for everyone after a day of museums and monuments waiting in Rome after dark.

Tradition says that if you toss a coin over your shoulder in the Trevi Fountain, you will return to Rome. Reality tells us that your heart will always lead you back to Rome.
