When in Rome…. There’s so much to do and see that visiting Rome can feel overwhelming. You could travel to this gem of a city a hundred times and not see all of the ancient culture or breathtaking art, let alone scratch the surface of the excellent culinary scene. The beauty of Time & Place luxury vacation homes is not only the hand-selected properties that make you feel at home, but the complimentary Concierge service that allows you to tailor your trip to your own interests. Until you arrive and we get to know you and where your passions lie, here is an Incredible Rome Itinerary for luxurious activities to get you in the dolce vita spirit.

• Palatine Hill Tour: The centermost of Rome’s Seven Hills has a lengthy and luxe history. A private tour of the most desirable neighborhood of the affluent will give you historical background of the architecture, as well as reality-TV worthy tidbits about the tumultuous relationships that went on. The earliest residents arrived around 1000 BC, and later the splendid spot housed Rome’s wealthiest citizens. Of course, its most famous inhabitants were the emperors, namely Augustus and Tiberius, who built palaces here.

• Wine Tasting: The wines of Italy go beyond Chianti and Sangiovese. With the help of a sommelier, take the daunting task of learning about the vast world of Italian wine and turn it into a delightful afternoon of exploring under-the-radar varietals. A catered meal only adds to the decadence of this luxurious experience.

• The Vatican – After Hours: Why stand in line for hours with thousands of other people if you could have private after-hours access to the Vatican? An elite experience, to say the least, is one you’ll cherish for a lifetime. Explore the art galleries and hidden treasures of the Vatican without the crowds and admire the Sistine Chapel as it was meant to be seen… With silent reverence for Michelangelo’s masterpiece.
