Bocca di Leone consists of three luxury apartments in an exclusive building in the most fashionable neighborhood in central Rome. Leone #2 and Leone #3 are located on the same floor, so they work equally well together or individually. Just a three-minute stroll from the Spanish Steps, the location is in the heart of Rome’s haute couture shopping area and within easy reach of Rome’s major attractions. A short walk brings you to the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, Piazza del Popolo or the Villa Borghese. Transport by bus, taxi, or subway is a moment away, putting all of Rome at your doorstep. The neighborhood is lively but elegant, with many famous restaurants and trattorie. At the end of via Bocca di Leone you will find grocery shops and market stalls, with fresh fruit, vegetables and fish available every morning. Private car and drivers are always available outside the nearby Hotel d’Inghilterra.

All roads lead to Rome...…and when in Rome do as Romans do…..
As they say, a life time is not long enough in Rome ‘Non basta una vita a Roma’.  If you have 5 days in Rome, it is best you choose what is most important for you to see, and see these properly rather than trying to run around madly and see everything.
From the Trevi fountain and the Spanish steps to the colosseum, from the Vatican and the Sistine chapel, to the Basilica, the Foreum to the pantheon, where does one start in Rome?
