Villa Borghese (only english speaking guide)
A" must" in Rome - apart from the usualtours - is Villa Borghese, in itself worth a trip to Italy. The Borghese Gallery, was renowned for centuries as "the sovereign of all private art collections" and is nowadays open to the selective tourist (without the usual crowds and endless waiting in line). Our Tour starts at the Gallery, with an expert and brilliantguide which is imperative to fully enjoy the masterpieces that the Borgheses (Pope Paul V belonged to that family)have amassed in their tasteful summer residence since 1600. Bernini as a sculptor, Raphael, Caravaggio, Tiziano,Domenichino, Correggio , are just some of the highlights of an incredible wealth of art,ranging from ancient Rome up to the Neoclassicalstyle, the latter epitomized by Canova's famous nude of Paolina Bonaparte .The second part of the guided Tour will be outdoors, through the delightful Borghese Park , the Pincio Terrazza with its breath-taking view, the panoramic Pincio promenade , the Spanish Steps down to Piazza di Spagna , the heart of a paradise for fashion conscious shoppers and selectivegourmets. From this central point most of the hotels are at walking distance or easily reachable. Our guide will be at disposal for directions or any advice. We recommended to book at least one day in advance.
