Rome city breaksHoliday rentals - villas & apartments to rent in Rome
Rome is one of Italy's special cities packed full of incredible historic buildings and with so much to see and do, a short city break will just wet your appetite to come back.
Rome is probably the biggest museum in the world and the best way to explore it is on foot - through the winding cobbled streets where you will stumble across gillaterias, cafes, bars and restaurants off the beaten track. A magical city, Rome attracts visitors from all over the world throughout the year. The best times to visit are spring and early Autumn where the temperatures are more tolerable than the peak summer months and certainly less crowded.

There are plenty of options when choosing where to stay in Rome from excellent 5 star hotels to private holiday rentals - villas on the ouskirts or apartments to rent in the city centre.
