Extremely proud to hit a 10/10 score on Booking for the second year in a row! Reaching this incredible goal was no easy feat, and I couldn't be happier with this achievement. We are shifting our focus away from Booking due to its monopolistic nature and excessive fees. We are moving to new platforms and, most importantly, enhancing our own website. I invite you to check it regularly for my latest suggestions on how to enjoy a truly captivating stay in Rome.

🌿 Rome Off the Beaten Path 🌿
Have you ever heard of the Porticus Aemilia?

An enormous Roman warehouse built in 193 BC, hidden in plain sight in the heart of Testaccio—and yet, almost no one knows it exists.

Massive ancient arches, early Roman concrete, trade routes, and amphora fragments piled onto Monte Testaccio… It’s a fascinating slice of ancient logistics and daily life.

📍 We just published a brand new article exploring this forgotten marvel:
