Rome Cavalieri Introduces Exclusive Tour Revealing Secret Rome
Led by the hotel's resident art historian, Alexandra Massini, the full-day excursion engages guests with a morning filled with visits to the Fontana dell'Acqua Paola on the Janiculum Hill and Donato Bramante's Tempietto within the courtyard at San Pietro in Montorio. Participants are then driven to Trastevere and walk across the Ponte Sisto, what some consider the most beautiful bridge in the city. From there, guests can walk to and marvel at the Palazzo Spada, Piazza Farnese and along the cobblestones of the historic Via Giulia lined with Renaissance palaces and hidden courtyards.

Only through Rome Cavalieri's “Great Beauty” tour can guests visit the private apartments of the palace of the Marquis Sacchetti and enjoy a private reception at the home of Marchioness Violante Guerrieri Gonzaga on the rooftop terrace of Palazzo Taverna with stunning 360º views of the historic city center.

After an optional lunch (ranging from aperitifs to a seated feast), guests will discover the Piazza Navona, Villa Medici with an exclusive tour of the gardens, drive along the Via Veneto and stop on a terrace overlooking the Colosseum. The evening concludes with a visit to the grand baths of an ancient Caracalla, and a drive up the Aventine Hill to discover a surprise view from a keyhole.

The tour for a family of five begins at €1,345 EUR ($1,858 USD). For individuals and groups smaller than five, pricing varies based upon customization of tour elements, mode of transportation and lunch options. Given the exclusivity of the tour, guests must book 10-14 days in advance. If lunch is desired, guests should allow three weeks advance booking.
