Take the modern equivalent of a 19^th century Grand Tour – a luxury, tailor-made holiday to Rome – and you’ll be following in the footsteps of some of England’s literary greats. Poets like Bryon, Keats and Shelley all made the d’Inghilterra their preferred place to stay.

But this luxury, five star hotel didn’t limit its appeal to visitors from England. Once a 16^th century palace belonging to the Princess of Torlonia, writers like Mark Twain and Ernest Hemingway surrounded themselves with its sophistication – and were followed later by film stars like Elizabeth Taylor and Gregory Peck, who doubtless enjoyed and enhanced the Dolce Vita years of the 20^th century.

As a visitor today, enjoying your own tailor-made holiday to Rome, you’ll find the hotel’s sophistication and appeal remains undiminished.
