Rome: the Meeting point between History and Food for the most demanding Tourist
Rome caput mundi, Italian political capital and center of Christianity in the world, cradle of famous people, favorite city for the film industry thanks to the wide choice of views and monuments and place of enchanting culinary scenarios.
There are those who remember it in the hints of geography and endless pages of history, who would like it to be the starting or arrival point for a journey with an Italian flavor in the name of the discovery of the major cities, who has the dreamy image fixed in the eyes of Audrey Hepburn in Vacanze Romane or the beautiful Anita and her bath in the Trevi Fountain in Fellini’s La Dolce Vita. Many versions of a city that knows how to enchant visitors for the encounter between past and present.
Between one walk and another, different eras alternate in the archaeological Rome: from the Imperial era with the most famous ancient splendors such as Pantheon and Circo Massimo, to the Renaissance by the princely palaces and Michelangelo’s Campidoglio, from the Baroque and Neoclassical period with Bernini, Borromini and Caravaggio and the famous Piazza del Popolo, to the Liberty style of some buildings in Ostia, not to mention the patriarchal basilicas and catacombs of the Vatican.
In every season the eternal city offers surprises to tourists that come thirsty for culture, accompanying art and history to delicious dishes. Along the streets of the capital in fact you can not avoid to linger in typical trattorias and trendy restaurants and enjoy the specialties.
The Roman cuisine is mainly based on genuine and simple dishes with inexpensive cuts of meat such as offal and entrails cooked with aromatic herbs (the so-called “quinto quarto”), abbaccio a scottadito and saltimbocca, accompanied by fresh vegetables such as puntarelle, artichokes “alla giudia” and stuffed pumpkin flowers. The first courses satisfy both eyes and mouth: gnocchi alla romana, pagliata with rigatoni and the famous gricia never disappoint the customers of crowded restaurants. For the conclusion of the meal you can choose a delicate fresh ricotta cake with sugar, lemon and vanilla, candied fruit, pine nuts and raisins.

To act as a trait d’union to culture and delight there are numerous accommodation facilities. Among these there is Colosseum Palace Star, which welcomes its guests in the refined atmosphere.
Federica Ponti, Guest Relations of Colosseum Palace Star, always linked to the world of tourism first at an airline company, then in tourist villages and as Quality Advisor, told us about the project, born 4 years ago proposing a new type of accommodation that could emphasize the wonder of the archaeological and historical aspect offering assistance and attention to hotel details alongside a friendly style of the B&B.
From the 4 rooms (short 6), with attention to detail with the refined Liberty style, it seems to touch the Colosseo with a finger, but you can at the same time enjoy an intimate and independent atmosphere overlooking the terrace, maybe sipping a glass of wine in company.
Renting a bike or a vespa you can start discovering the most unusual views or the staff of Colosseum Palace Star will be happy to organize small tours such as walks in the most famous places and guided tours more structured with gastronomic tastings and dinners with typical products. In summer it is also proposed the opportunity to visit the neighboring village of Bracciano and the coast Lido di Ostia.
Breakfast, strictly served in your room as a moment of relaxation and pampering in the morning, offers coffee and Italian cakes and à la carte choice with cheese and typical Lazio prosciutto and salami served with honey and enriched with dried fruit or berries.
Federica will be happy to recommend some restaurants away from the classic tourist flow and appreciated by the real Romans near the Jewish Ghetto, Campo dei Fiori and Trastevere.
Colosseum Palace Star will soon be present in other charming areas of Rome, always with an elegant and refined style and the same desire to satisfy the customer.
