Plume's Address Book in Rome
It’s no coincidence that Rome is nicknamed “the Eternal City.” The Italian capital is so full of wonderful places that it’s sometimes hard to choose. For an unforgettable trip, Plume has selected the best spots in the Bellissima just for you: a list that isn’t exhaustive but has been carefully curated.
Where to Stay
At Six Senses Rome, where timeless elegance meets modern comfort—as envisioned by Patricia Urquiola—just a short walk from the Pantheon and the legendary Trevi Fountain, the interior designer has succeeded in creating bright, comfortable spaces that open onto terraces.
At the Bulgari Roma, for its incredible 20-meter-long pool flanked by six enormous black-and-white marble columns reminiscent of the Baths of Caracalla, and for the Augustinus Bader spa treatments.
At the Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Hotel , as it is the largest luxury hotel in the Italian capital. It impresses with its location and its curved architecture, which envelops the famous Piazza della Repubblica
Gourmet Moments
-The restaurant at the Sofitel Villa Borghese, located on the top floor of the hotel—which is none other than a 19th-century palace—on the green terrace, Le Settimo offers a total immersion in the starry sky during spring and on summer evenings. Chef Giuseppe d’Alessio serves contemporary Roman cuisine, a blend of street food and classic dishes. It’s also the perfect spot for an aperitivo.
– Have a drink on one of the terraces in Trastevere
-When evening falls, before heading out for dinner, sipping a spritz or a house-made martini in the inner courtyard ofthe Hôtel de Russie, near the Plaza de España, isa must. The hotel has been a gathering place for the jet set, influencers visiting the city, and artists ever since Jean Cocteau described it in 1917 as “paradise on earth.”
– Dinner at Pierluigi, the city’s must-visit seafood restaurant
What to Do in Rome Off the Beaten Path?
-Browse the Porta Portese flea market
, Viale di Trastevere
-Stroll through the southern part of the city: Testaccio, Garbatella, and Ostiense.
In these former working-class neighborhoods—now trendy alternative-art hotspots—small houses with tiny gardens built during the Mussolini era stand side by side with graffiti that adds a vibrant touch to the urban landscape.
-Visit the Centrale Montemartini, a museum of Roman antiquities housed in a former power plant that offers a superb visual and cultural perspective.
-Discover Le Macro Future, a cultural hub built on former industrial wasteland at the foot of a mound of amphorae that gives the neighborhood (Testaccio) its name… offering a quirky, almost anti-globalization experience.
Must-Sees
– Be sure to make a wish when you toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain.
– Visit the Villa Borghese again and again, a magical, timeless place that houses one of the world’s largest private art collections—that of Cardinal Scipione Borghese—and discover high-quality exhibitions among the 20 rooms filled with antiquities, stunning sculptures, and Renaissance paintings and works of art, such as Bernini’s statue “Allegory of Truth” and paintings by Leonardo da Vinci.
