Rome, Italy Hotel Rooms at the Rocco Forte

Decided to go to `Rome for husband's birthday. Usually I find most Rome hotels pretty average but this was a great treat. The staff were charing and warmhearted and sincerely wanted to please. The room to book is 231, which has lovely views over the garden. The location is perfect, close to everything. Have apertivi in the garden, they serve all sorts of yummy nibbles. Prices ( especially for breakfast) are steep but the quality is excellent. There is no charge to use the wonderful spa and fitness centre. We both had massages which were very food, lovely staff. there's a sauna and steam and a huge jacuzzii with whirlpool jets. The hotel is small and exclusive yet has everything you'd expect from a bigger luxury hotel. Even the blow driers are exceptional, quiet and fast--I liked the fact that there as so much care in all the little details. Linens, slippers, amenities all great. I wish they had coffee/tea makers in the room, would be the perfect touch to an already first class hotel experience.
