Episode 6: Meet Our Suppliers, Carlotta Owner of Rome Guesthouse Near Spanish Steps

05/15/20 • 6 min

This week, we’re visiting Rome through the words of Carlotta, founder of our Rome Elegant Residence 217 near the Spanish Steps that all our clients and each of us personally adore. I love her letter, because her joyful personality and the same friendliness we find in the guesthouse come through in her story. The rooms themselves are decorated in the family’s own antiques, and art work, and the styles of the antiques meeting a clean, modern design capture the city’s personality.

Episode 5: Meet Our Suppliers, Marilena Rome Tour Guide

Over the past few weeks, we have been sharing messages with you from our suppliers in Italy. Today, we’re back to Rome, my favorite city in the world. Every city has a personality, and to me, it’s hard to find one more vibrant and alive than Rome. The effortless mingling of ancient history and modern life never ceases to amaze me. Every visit leaves me more spellbound than the last. Today, we meet Marilena, a guide herself, and owner of the incredible tour company we partner with in Rome. When my husband and I were last in Rome, we planned several tours with them so that I could experience the exact same tours and meet some of the same guides that our clients always rave about once they come home. Our first tour was with Marilena herself. The tour was the Dolce Vita orientation private tour of Rome. It is almost impossible from any description to understand the true value of this tour. The temptation is to think, “Ah, I’ll just wander on my own and see the fountains, piazzas, Colosseum.” And it’s true, you can see them. It’s understanding that makes a guide so worthwhile.
