WHERE TO VISIT:
Quartiere Coppedè
Rome’s best-kept secret and an area many tourists often miss. Tucked away off the main streets of Quartiere Triests lies Coppedè – the city’s smallest and most magical district. Situated between piazza Buenos Aires and Taglimento, this compact gem will conjure-up fairytale thoughts and set imaginations alight.
WHERE TO VISIT:
Villa Borghese
Located to the north of the Spanish Steps and Piazza del Popolo, and slightly away from the regular tourist route, you’ll discover the park of Villa Borghese. Known as the ‘park of museums’ because of its plentiful museums and art galleries, bambinos will delight in discovering the famous mechanical water clock and small Biopark Zoo, which is home to more than 1,000 animals. While you’ll need a day to take in all that there is to see here, families can rent one of the park’s four- to six-seater bikes to explore the park at leisure.
WHERE TO STAY:

Hotel Raphaël
Centrally located, the Raphaël is just a stone’s throw from the Pantheon and St Peter’s Basilica, making it the perfect family base to explore. Almost museum-like, this magnificent residence is home to a rich collection of sculptures, paintings, and Picasso ceramics, and enjoys the backdrop of panoramic views across the city. relaischateaux.com
