Celebrating the 25th anniversary of Rocco Forte Hotels, Hotel de Russie has curated a private tour of the hidden secrets of Rome.

This special experience will take you to the cobbled streets of the bohemian Trastevere district.  Here, in the hidden treasures of an elegantly eccentric eighteenth-century townhouse you’ll meet the housekeeper waiting to share the wonders of his collection with you. 

Admire his ancient treasured items that span both the globe and the centuries. Examine Egyptian funerary headgear, dating back to 330 BC, a 17th century Tibetan drum and the traditional shield of the Dayak head-cutters of Borneo.

Staying at Hotel de Russie,close to the Spanish Steps, you’ll discover its own secret - a hidden garden at its heart. Originally designed by architect Giuseppe Valadier, the garden’s fragrant orange trees and tiered terraces have been revamped by former Valentino interiors designer Tommaso Ziffer. 

Select up to five different European Rocco Forte Hotels on your European Grand Tour and enhance your itinerary, if you wish, with one or more of our unique, curated experiences.
