An exceptional café, a secret aperitivo, a remarkable roof-top, where to eat the perfect spaghetti carbonara … Sleep beneath Renaissance frescoes in Rome’s most beautiful villa, go for a bike ride on the Via Appia, picnic in a magnificent garden, dine at a fish market, sink your teeth into one of the ten best pizzas in the world …
