Rome Garden Hotel Short Breaks

Rome is a great attraction for garden historians but has fewer renaissance gardens than one might expect. We therefore recommend following a visit to Rome with visits to gardens outside Rome. Taxi, bus and bicycle are the best ways to travel within Rome but there is much to be said for hiring a car to visit the gardens outside Rome. A bicycle visit to the Appian Way Park is very pleasant and can a include visit to the Baths of Caracalla. Other types of garden to visit in Rome are: archaeological sites (Palatine Hill, Forum), cloister gardens (San Lorenzo, San Giovanni, and San Paolo), piazzas (Piazza Navona, Piazza Spagna, Trevi Fountain), and public parks (Villa Doria Pamphili, Villa Borghese). It is necessary to go book onto a tour but well worth the effort to visit the Vatican Gardens.
