ROME HOTEL EDEN Two day itinerary: Romance Italians are considered some of the most romantic people in the world, so where better to celebrate your love than in the Italian capital of Rome? From charming gardens and intimate restaurants to jewellery shopping and jaw-dropping views, there are plenty of opportunities to create lasting memories in the Eternal City. Spend a romantic weekend away in Rome with the help of this two-day itinerary. Day One Start the day with a 20-minute drive to The Orange Garden. THE ORANGE GARDEN Via di Santa Sabina, 00153 Rome While its name suggests that the highlight of The Orange Garden (Giardino degli Aranci or Parco Savello) is its orchard of fruit trees, its views are, in fact, its most captivating attraction. The pocket- sized garden directly overlooks St Peter’s Basilica and its terrace offers unbelievably beautiful views of Rome. Visit with your partner in the morning, when the sun casts an enchanting glow over the city. Take a short five-minute walk to the next garden on the itinerary. ROME ROSE GARDEN T: 006 574 6810 | Via di Valle Murcia 6, 00153 Rome Nothing says romance like a walk through a blossoming rose garden. Rome Rose Garden (Roseto Comunale) at the foot of Aventino Hill is one of the city’s most charming green spaces. Open from May to October each year, the garden is filled with over 1,000 different varieties of botanical roses from all over the world, with some dating back to Roman times. Then, take a 25-minute drive to Keats-Shelley House. KEATS-SHELLEY HOUSE T: 006 678 4235 | Piazza di Spagna 26, 00187 Rome At the foot of the famous Spanish Steps stands another of Rome’s most romantic sites, Keats- Shelley House. A memorial to English Romantic poetry, the museum is located in the former home of John Keats. Inspire the romance within by exploring the works of Keats and other literary talents such as Lord Byron, Mary and Percy Bysshe Shelley and Leigh Hunt. The next location is just a one-minute walk away. The Dorchester, London | 45 Park Lane, London | Coworth Park, Ascot | Le Meurice, Paris | Hôtel Plaza Athénée, Paris Hotel Principe di Savoia, Milan | Hotel Eden, Rome | The Beverly Hills Hotel, Beverly Hills | Hotel Bel-Air, Los Angeles | Dubai (opening 2020) JEWELLERY SHOPPING ON VIA CONDOTTI 00187 Rome When in Rome, treat your loved one to a special piece of jewellery from the city’s glamorous shopping avenue, Via Condotti. The street is filled with the sparkling boutiques of international brands including Bulgari, Tiffany & Co., Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels. If it’s authentic Italian design that appeals, visit Milanese jewellers Buccellati, or local Roman jewellers and watchmakers Hausmann & Co. Take a 15-minute drive of 20-minute walk to Per Me Giulio Terrinoni for dinner. PER ME GIULIO TERRINONI T: 006 6877 365 | Vicolo del Malpasso 9, Via Guilia, Roma Tucked behind a façade twinkling with fairy lights, the Michelin starred Per Me Giulio Terrinoni exudes romance. The eponymous head chef showcases the finest local ingredients in a collection of imaginative dishes, the best of which come together in his 10-course “Between Earth and Sea” tasting menu. On balmy evenings, opt for a table on the cobbles outside. At the end of the evening, hail a taxi and enjoy a 15-minute ride back to the hotel. Day two Rise early and take a 45-minute drive to Villa d’Este. VILLA D’ESTE T: 00774 312070 | Piazza Trento 5, 00019 Tivoli RM Experience Renaissance-style romance with a trip to Villa d’Este, a UNESCO-designated Renaissance palace in Tivoli, on the outskirts of Rome. The noble 16th century Roman estate is particularly famous for is stunning terraced gardens, which feature picturesque landscaping and an impressive pond lined with ornamental fountains. The villa, with its Cardinal apartments and colourful frescos, is also well-worth visiting. Travel back into central Rome with a 45-minute drive to Villa Borghese. BOATING ON THE LAGHETTO DI VILLA BORGHESE T: 006 328 10 | Viale dell’Aranciera, 00197 Rome Stretch your legs after the drive back to Rome with a stroll through the landscaped gardens of Villa Borghese. For the ultimate declaration of romance, visit the lake and hire a boat to charm your loved one as you row across the water in front of the 18th century Temple of Aesculapius. Some poems from yesterday’s Keats-Shelley House trip may come in handy, too. Then, take a 20-minute walk or drive to the Trevi Fountain. The Dorchester, London | 45 Park Lane, London | Coworth Park, Ascot | Le Meurice, Paris | Hôtel Plaza Athénée, Paris Hotel Principe di Savoia, Milan | Hotel Eden, Rome | The Beverly Hills Hotel, Beverly Hills | Hotel Bel-Air, Los Angeles | Dubai (opening 2020) MAKE A WISH AT THE TREVI FOUNTAIN Piazza di Trevi, 00187 Rome The tradition of throwing coins into the Trevi Fountain has been practised for so long, there was even a movie made about it in 1954, Three Coins in the Fountain. Legend says that if you stand with your back to the striking Baroque fountain and toss a coin over your left shoulder into the water, then you’re guaranteed to return to Rome. Next, take a leisurely 15-minute walk or drive to The Library. THE LIBRARY T: 0334 806 12 00 | Vicolo della Cancelleria 36, 00186 Rome Despite its name, The Library is actually a restaurant – one of the cosiest and most romantic in Rome. Dine on Italian dishes and enjoy fine wine and cigars under the glow of candlelight at this intimate Italian trattoria, which is discreetly hidden a few streets away from the Piazza Navona and Campo dei Fiori. After dinner, take a 20-minute drive to Teatro dell’Opera di Roma. TEATRO DELL’OPERA DI ROMA T: 006 481 601 | Piazza Beniamino Gigli 1, 00184 Rome Rome’s grandest opera house, Teatro dell’Opera di Roma makes the perfect setting for an evening of romance in the Eternal City. With opulent interiors and a captivating schedule of opera, orchestral and ballet performances, it’s impossible not to get swept up by the magic of this theatre. For an extra special occasion, book a private box and watch the show from the best seats in the house. To get back to the hotel, choose between a 10-minute taxi ride or a 15-minute walk. All journey times are approximate and subject to variation.

    TOP ROME ATTRACTIONS The Pantheon Constructed to honor all pagan gods, this best preserved temple of ancient Rome was rebuilt in the 2nd century AD by Emperor Hadrian, and to him much of the credit is due for the perfect dimensions: 141 feet high by 141 feet wide, with a vast dome that was the largest ever designed until the 20th century. The Vatican Though its population numbers only in the few hundreds, the Vatican—home base for the Catholic Church and the pope—makes up for them with the millions who visit each year. Embraced by the arms of the colonnades of St. Peter’s Square, they attend Papal Mass, marvel at St. Peter’s Basilica, and savor Michelangelo’s Sistine Ceiling. The Colosseum Legend has it that as long as the Colosseum stands, Rome will stand; and when Rome falls, so will the world. One of the seven wonders of the world, the mammoth amphitheater was begun by Emperor Vespasian and inaugurated by Titus in the year 80. For “the grandeur that was Rome,” this obstinate oval can’t be topped. Piazza Navona You couldn’t concoct a more Roman street scene: caffè and crowded tables at street level, coral- and rust-color houses above, most lined with wrought-iron balconies, street performers and artists and, at the center of this urban “living room,” Bernini’s spectacular Fountain of the Four Rivers and Borromini’s super-theatrical Sant’Agnese. Roman Forum This fabled labyrinth of ruins variously served as a political playground, a commerce mart, and a place where justice was dispensed during the days of the emperors (500 BC to 400 AD).

    Rome Tourist Information

    Rome As capital of the Roman Empire, the Papal States and Italy, Rome truly is the "Eternal City". One of the world's most elegant capitals the layers of history and the city's sheer excess of beauty can prove overwhelming to the unsuspecting visitor. This is a city best explored on foot, with every corner offering an overlooked treasure or unforgettable panorama. Roman columns soar up aimlessly next to medieval basilicas, the sound of water splashing in fountains fills the air in front of Renaissance palaces and exuberant Romans jostle through multi-coloured markets and winding cobbled streets. Breathe the air of the Caesars in the Roman forum, stroll through the menacing Colosseum, marvel at the splendours of the Vatican Palace - and you will wonder if this can be the capital of a modern industrial nation or whether you have stepped back into the pages of history. But around these relics of history Rome is still evolving. It's at the cutting edge of fashion and cuisine and is one of the most popular shopping destinations on Earth. So prepare to soak up history and modernity in equal measure in one of Europe's most fascinating cities. Sightseeing Rome is a work of art in itself and you'll never tire of wandering its streets and plazas, discovering new and ever greater architectural gems with every turn. Seeing the many treasures the city contains would take a lifetime, but there are several highlights that remain essential on a trip to the Eternal City. The Roma Archeologia Card costs EUR20 and is valid for 7-days.

    APRIL IN PARIS, SPRINGTIME IN ROME by Manny Gonzalez, Plantation Bay Resort & Spa Part One: April in Paris [intended to be laid out like a scrapbook, with the pictures askew and the captions written in hand-printed letters, arrows leading into the pictures, and the like] It sounded like a good idea at the time – take three beautiful girls to the Continent. Experience April in Paris. Savor Springtime in Rome. The idea was born during a 2011 visit to Plantation Bay by Grace Glory Go (of the Philippine Star) and her French diplomat friend Thierry Mixa, who waxed eloquent on the glories of Paris in spring. Paris 0 [city and number in red print denotes a picture] Grace, Thierry, and Hannah – one of the three girls. Okay, so Hannah isn’t exactly beautiful. But she has a pleasant personality. Mabait pa. Then many things started going wrong. But, not to bore you with the details, finally, six months later and with the mishaps behind us, there we were, on a Segway tour of Paris. Paris 1 Geli Reyes, Manny Gonzalez, Hannah Patalinjug, and Zuri Almendras. The first thing the girls wanted to see was this prominent erection. However, in Paris’s famous Pere Lachaise cemetery, the girls (having gone shopping instead) missed this other, equally fascinating erection: Paris 2 Victor Noir was a 19th-century journalist who was shot dead one night. But, as the groin area of his death effigy shows, he was thinking happy thoughts when he bought a bullet. Today, women come from all over the world, around the clock, to leave him flowers, and kiss his [ahem].
