When To Go
The main tourist season starts at Easter and runs until October; peak
periods are in spring and autumn, when the tour buses pour in and tourists
are herded around like cattle. Numerous outdoor festivals and concerts and
the fact that Romans desert the city for the beaches and mountains, which
means very light traffic and a less-crowded city centre, makes summer almost
worth the heat. If you do visit in summer, try to hit the sights early, take
a long lunch and a nap, and then head out again around 18:00 to take
advantage of the cooler evening. Winters are usually mild with few tourists
and some fun events around Christmas time.

The bars of Rome
 Supperclub
Sister club to the already legendary Amsterdam Supperclub, the Rome version is even more sensational because it’s still such a secret. Set in a gorgeous restored 3rd century mansion (what Roman buildings are not works of art?) it’s tucked down a narrow alley, has no sign on the door or bouncers outside and you’ll miss it if you didn’t know it was here. Inside though it’s unforgettable: a forest of extravagant drapes lead to Bar Rouge holding area, beyond which are two sultry salons – Salle Neige and Baroque. On plush white beds the elite of Roman society recline like stars in La Dolce Vita, violinists and DJs provide the soundtrack and, unbelievably, waitresses massage you as you recline on the sofas! Or perhaps that was a one off. Either way, it’s like the Carlsberg ads have come to life. Cocktails mixed by unfeasibly sexy staff are world class, none finer than the Smoky Martini: Monte Cristo cigars are seeped in Lagavulin single malt and stirred over ice with frozen vodka and a dash of vermouth. Who comes up with these ideas? Add fine contemporary food, a great CD featuring Groove Armada and David Holmes, and you are living La Dolce Vita.
