With famous landmarks including the Collosseum and the Pantheon, it’s the last minute Valentine’s break you’ll never forget. Everywhere you turn is a perfect photo opportunity with picturesque villages and monuments. However, one of our favourite things about Rome will always be the food… traditional Italian pizza, fresh pasta and a variety of rich sauces for every taste and craving.
