It wasn’t built in a day, nor can Rome be seen in a weekend – unless you want to charge around like a headless gladiator. Limit your choices by focussing on an area of the city such as the Centro Storico around Piazza Navona with its Renaissance palaces and Baroque fountains. For a retail fix, the stylish Via Condotti is nearby.

Sardatur Holidays says
In addition to its jaw-dropping ancient monuments, medieval churches, fountains, museums, and Renaissance palaces, modern Rome is a bustling and lively city with excellent restaurants and nightlife.
Where better to stay during your visit than some decidedly stylish apartments and studios, perfectly located off the Via Condotti and just a few steps from Piazza di Spagna and the famous Spanish Steps. The Portrait Suites are part of the fashion designer Salvatore Ferragamo’s empire and the great man himself has designed the stylish interiors, with luxurious materials and a contemporary twist.
Each is named after the photographs of film and fashion stars which line their walls. Stretched across the top floors of a luxurious Italian town house, there are some great views from the roof terrace where breakfast is served each morning.
During your short break, enjoy a rare insight into Rome and the Vatican with a personalised half-day private walk led by travel specialist James Hill. Orientation walks for the first-time visitor naturally visit all the most important piazzas, churches, Roman temples and archaeological sites, whilst more thematic walks - such as those tracing Rome’s Baroque architecture or Renaissance painting - aim to get ‘under the skin’ of the city’s history.
