Rome wasn’t built in a day and it shows. Turn any corner in the eternal city and marvel at the Italian capital’s movie set allure with its millennia-old architecture. Stroll through its ancient cobbled streets and stare in awe at the Colosseum, gazing up at the domed ceiling of the Pantheon, ascending to new spiritual heights or the Vatican City, or making a wish and snapping an Instagram selfie in front of the Trevi Fountain.

One of the things we all love most about travelling to Rome is the simple pleasure of wondering aimlessly through its cobbled streets and stumbling upon hidden treasures. Especially when those finds include a picturesque trattoria set in one of Rome's many magnificent backdrops, where you dine alfresco and enjoy delicious food and great wine. It is this dream of spending time in such a historic place and taking part in 'la dolce vita' that has so many of us dreaming of renting a home for a few months and just allowing each day to lead us where it may.
