The Jolly Hotel Villa Carpegna Rome is a modern hotel which is set in its very own landscaped gardens. The gardens themselves are a sight to see. The hotel is located next to the city’s expansive Villa Pamphili park which overlooks the Roman rooftops west of the historic city center, under 2 kilometers from Saint Peter’s Basilica. If you’ve gotten tired of being a tourist in the city, guests of the Jolly Hotel Villa Carpegna Rome can soak up the sun on the terraces surrounding the outdoor swimming pool. The hotel is known for comfort, value and friendly attention of welcoming staff. It will almost feel like you’ve never left home but with great scenic views.

Another hotel that I liked is Starhotels Michelangelo Rome. It’s a 4 star hotel located close to Saint Peter Square in the heart of baroque Rome. It’s the best place to stay at if you’re planning to visit Saint Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican Museums. The Sistine Chapel is also just a short distance away. The hotel is also just walking distance from the complex of Castel Sant’Angelo with its museum and the stroll along the Tiber embankment. A stay in one of the rooms of Starhotels Michelangelo Rome also offers a magical view of the Dome of Saint Peter’s Cathedral.

The third hotel that I liked lies just a mere hundred yards from Piazza San Pietro and the spiritual home of the Catholic church. The Emmaus Hotel is a 3 star hotel in Rome that has great access to the Vatican and all its treasures. It’s a great place to stay at for pilgrims and tourists alike. Like the Starhotels Michelangelo Rome, the Emmaus Hotel also features rooms with views of the dome of Saint Peter’s Cathedral. This hotel offers a refreshing and homely atmosphere by combining practicality and convenience with the peaceful ambiance.

Is it obvious that I haven’t strayed too far away when it comes to the sights I went to see in Rome? It looks like I definitely need to expand more on the Roman horizons and see more of the city. If you have any place at all that you can suggest, feel free to say so. These are just some of my choices for accommodations. I’m open to knowing any of yours.

One of the many museums inside Rome is the National Etruscan Museum.  Inside this museum in Piazzalle di Villa Giulia Rome are the well preserved artifacts of the great Etruscan empire. These artifacts are well kept and preserved to show how the Etruscan Empire molded the present Rome.

Another well known painter that lived in Rome is Michelangelo. He painted one of the greatest art in the world.  It is located at the ceiling of the Sistine chapel re-enacting the scenes from the bible having over 300 figures in it showing the signature style of Michelangelo itself. This chapel is a must see location in Rome.

The carpet museum of the National Museum of Palazzo Venezia  in V. del plebescito Rome s known for its large amount of carpets and tapestries.  It is also the former residence of a pope in Rome.

Next is the National Roman museum which is built upon several buildings in its ruins. Some ruins are assembled with addition from the collection of other historical collectors.  Rome also has a lot of ruins that can also be considered as an open museum for those people who have a short time in visiting Rome.  The pillars and roads are dated way back the Roman Empire in where some are restored or renovated.

Another museum in Rome houses a lot of artworks; a lot I mean over 100,000 pieces of artworks are located inside this museum. This museum is the Museo di Roma, it is a former palace now reformed as a museum to show how great the artistic development of Rome way back their old time.

The well known artist Vincent van Gogh also has his paintings walled at the Municipal Gallery of Modern Art.  This museum shows the great works of the modern artists from Vincent Van Gogh to the well known modern painter Jackson Pollock.

Last in my list is the Castel’ de Sant Angelo also known as the tomb of Emperor Hadrian who built the Hadrian’s Wall to protect to Roman Empire from attacks coming from the outside.  This museum is known as a plush of the Renaissance period. Inside this museum are the dark, old and dank armors of the Roman army.  The museum also has a café at the rooftop terrace ideal for the viewers above the city.

Rome houses the greatest museums showing the true Roman spirit and how the old empire evolved into one of the greatest city known in the present.
