Spring in Rome –
The Eternal City
Italy is Gustav’s second home, and Bella Roma is the city he returns to most often. Few places have shaped our culture and history more than this enduring beauty. Walking through the remains of antiquity – after the pace of the Christmas and New Year season has settled, and before the Easter celebrations begin – offers a unique opportunity to experience the Eternal City at a more gentle rhythm.

For the rare balance of antiquity and everyday life, grand beauty and intimate discovery – and a city one never finishes returning to.

At this time of year, Rome allows itself to be discovered in a quieter way. We stroll among ruins and through parks, along intimate streets and across grand piazzas, always with a sense of history close at hand. The atmosphere is cool and relatively calm, yet the pulse of the city is never absent.
We encounter some of the world’s most iconic landmarks, but also turn our attention to a lesser-known Rome – moving beyond the most visited sites and into neighborhoods where the city reveals a more local character.
From the seven hills of ancient Rome to districts such as Prati, Campo Marzio, and Trastevere, we take in the city’s shifting moods and layers of time. Days are filled with galleries, refined wine bars, charming restaurants where the Roman kitchen takes center stage, beautiful churches, and an ever-present sense of history – from the Renaissance to the newest gelateria.
We stay centrally and move easily through the city on foot, by metro, tram, and taxi – allowing each part of Rome to unfold naturally.
From Emperor Augustus to Raphael, from Axel Munthe to La Dolce Vita – Rome is a city one returns to, again and again.
Benvenuti!
