Rome in Luxury – Boutique Hotel and Tailor-Made Tours 5 Days

Arrival in Rome and Itinerary Customization

Arrival in Rome at your choice (airport or train station). You will meet your dedicated driver who will take you directly to the 4-star boutique hotel in the heart of the city. Check-in from 2:00 PM (early check-in available upon request, subject to availability).

A member of the Argiletum team will welcome you at the hotel to provide all essential information about your stay and your pre-arranged itinerary, including any entrances and scheduled activities, and you can start your journey with complete peace of mind.

The rest of the day is free to adjust to the time zone, rest if needed, or take an initial relaxed walk in the historic center to absorb the atmosphere of Rome. Overnight at the hotel.
