Rome, Gran Melia Villa Agrippina

This stylish new property offers great facilities, especially for the warm summer months and is well located just five minutes’ walk from the Vatican and close to the atmospheric streets of Trastevere.

A ten minute walk across the river takes you to Campo dei Fiori. Although dating back many centuries, the building has been completely restored in cool, contemporary style. There is a wonderful heated outdoor swimming pool and a spa with outdoor Jacuzzi. We had the opportunity to stay recently and were very impressed with the relaxed atmosphere, attentive service and excellent cuisine – there are several dining options, both formal and informal.

Milan, Baglioni Hotel Carlton

Located between the pedestrianised via della Spiga and via Senato, Milan’s two principal fashion streets, this classical mansion is perfectly situated for exploring the city.

The Duomo, Pinacoteca di Brera and La Scala are only 10 minutes’ walk away. Unlike many of the new, designer hotels that have opened in Milan recently, the Carlton Baglioni retains an intimate atmosphere where contemporary design perfectly mixes with the classic style, with original artworks, rich brocade fabrics and antique furnishings that decorate the 88 comfortable bedrooms. The famous ‘Baretto’ gastronomic restaurant features an English style and the ‘Terrazza’ and ‘Caffè Baglioni’ which overlooks the interior garden are decorated in a contemporary Art Deco style. The Spiga 8 Spa offers a comprehensive range of restorative treatments.
