A splurge in Rome

 This is from a few days ago, but I didn’t get the chance to put up the photos. We splurged on a suite at the Sofitel Roma Villa Borghese, using ALL our Qantas frequent flyer points from the last few years. It was wonderful to have a soft bed (all the beds on our holiday so far have been very firm) & a deep soaking tub. This gave us a great chance to relax and recharge before moving to Florence. 


We had a very small balcony that overlooked the Villa Borghese Gardens.

The staircase in the hotel was beautiful.

It was such a fancy hottel, the remote control for the TV came in a leather box!

They spoiled Skye with treats, which was a really lovely touch.

Even the door into our room was impressive.

A big soft bed was very welcome.






We took full advantage of the Villa Borghese Gardens for Skye. Whilst we were at the hotel we had delivered a “rollator” to give my neck a rest from the cobblestones and horrendous pavements in Italy. I’ve named it my chariot, because we bought it in Rome.

The rooftop restaurant & bar had an amazing view over Rome.
