48 Hours In Rome
Rome, the eternal city, is always worth a trip. Even if it’s a short trip for two days, as in my case. My starting point this time was a special kind of hotel, right on the Piazza di Spagna. A place from which you can reach many sights and the city’s most popular shopping routes on foot.
The Spanish Steps in Rome are one of the most photographed hotspots in the city. You won’t even see it deserted in the pouring rain. My hotel for 48 hours, on the other hand, is an insider tip. The address is also the name: PiazzaDiSpagna9 – Luxury Suites & Art Gallery.
PiazzaDiSpagna9 – Living between works of art
On the third floor of the orange-colored palazzo from the 14th century, you live among contemporary art and ultra-modern design. Each of the objects and selected pieces of furniture can be purchased and delivered directly to your home if your bank account allows. The small hotel is a true Eldorado for design and art lovers.
The house, or rather floor, in Piazza di Spagna is family-run. It was designed by the famous Italian interior designer Stefania Grippo. However, you will search in vain for a restaurant and breakfast room. Art has priority here. For relaxation, however, there is a cozy and luxurious spa with a whirlpool, massages and even a small hammam. The eclectic lounge area, a common room for temporary residents, offers a breathtaking view of the Piazza di Spagna with the Fontana della Barcaccia (Barcaccia Fountain) and the Spanish Steps.
Emanuele, the concierge at PiazzaDiSpagna9, is available to assist his guests from 8 am to 8 pm. And also by mobile phone. If there are any questions about the best place to have breakfast (two houses on the left) or dinner, he always has the right address for your requirements.
Over the roofs of Rome
The six rooms and suites, mostly hidden behind golden doors, have names such as Joy, Breath and Whisper. Mine is called Aria and actually has a small, airy balcony overlooking a typical Italian backyard. It would be nice to be able to have breakfast here in the sunshine. I can hear singers practicing their octaves from the outbuilding. Below me, next to a stone fountain, a sign reading “Carpe Diem” swings in the wind.
And that’s what I do. I pick the day. I start with a typical Italian breakfast two houses down.… weiterlesen

To travel during my profession as a beauty journalist was never enough for my. Also my six month on a world trip didn’t do it. It always attracts me to other cities, foreign countries, on roadtrips and places I don’t know yet. But I am not only interested in “culture” and “cream”, I am also fascinated by people who have stories to tell . Such unique experiences I want to share with you.
