Immerse yourself in the history of Rome
If you’ve ever fancied soaking up the history in the streets of Rome, this charming hotel located right in the city centre certainly fits the bill. The Relais Santa Maria Maggiore is handily nestled between a range of landmarks and attractions that you’ll be able to tick off with ease.
Perched on top of Esquiline Hill – and just a minute’s walk from the hotel – is the Basilica Papale Di Santa Maria Maggiore. Dating back to 432 AD, this iconic church boasts a golden interior and Baroque architecture. From here, a 15-minute stroll will lead you to the ancient Colosseum – the largest amphitheatre of the Roman Empire, which dates all the way back to 72 AD.
For something even more historical, head to The Pantheon - once a temple to honour the Gods and now a burial ground for kings and famous artists, such as the great renaissance painter Raphael Sanzio. Speaking of famous artists, you can’t really leave Rome without visiting the Sistine Chapel. Known as Michelangelo’s canvas, you’ll find the Sistine Chapel located in Vatican City – just a 30-minute commute from the hotel.
When it comes to traditional Italian cuisine, you’re really spoilt for choice. From pizza, arancini and bruschetta, to every flavour of biscotti imaginable, a stay in the heart of Rome is truly a food lover’s paradise.
