However, for visitors with mobility challenges, Rome is also, at times, a genuinely difficult destination. This post is not here to sugarcoat that. It is here to give you an honest picture of what to expect if you […]

Nighttime activities in Rome aren’t limited to the summer season. Now that fall is here, clear skies and moderate (mostly!) temperatures still provide a perfect opportunity for tour operators and creatives to plan events after regular business (or leisure , if you’re visiting!) hours.

Over the past few years many attractions in Rome have relied on new technologies to increase their appeal to a younger – or more curious – generation of tourists. The section of the Circus Maximus that has been turned into a museum is one of them (we talked about this here) but now a new project […]
The first time we entered Ibernesi 32 we couldn’t believe our eyes. The view alone was not only stunning but… comforting. In our job at From Home to Rome, we are used to handle luxury apartments in exclusive parts of the Eternal City, but we weren’t expecting a Piccolomini effect all to ourselves! (See below […]
