Hot to Trot

Hot to Trot: Lazio

This city bolthole, set slap bang in the middle of Rome's central Regola district, has an unbeatable location. But it's the apartment's private sauna and Jacuzzi bath getting us hot under the collar.

After hectic days in the hustle and bustle of Rome city, this home is the ultimate relaxation retreat. Soak travel-weary legs in the bubbly Jacuzzi. Heat things up in the sauna. Or feel anew beneath the rainfall showers.

When it's time to crash out, grab a glass of something crisp from the wine fridge before settling down to marvel at the design features dotted about this home. The statement lighting, including bespoke chandeliers, brings all the ambience.

Away from this luxurious home, you'll find the very best of Rome at your feet. Take your pick from markets, shops, cafes, restaurants, and gelato parlours – you name it, you're near it. While sights like the Piazza Navona and Pantheon are just a short stroll away. And, of course, there's always the River Tiber (two minutes on foot) for an early evening stroll. As dusk falls over the historic rooftops, there's no finer place to be.
