Given the number of former Palazzo’s and historical buildings in Rome, they lend themselves beautifully to smaller, more intimate hotels. They may not have the choice of facilities as some of the larger hotels but what they offer in intimacy, style and independence is second to none. We take a look at some of our favourites, all available to book on our website.
