It was to be our last night in Italy, a beautiful capstone to a 10 day odyssey going to a Jimmy Sax concert and visiting the ancient Temple of Hera in Sicily and then the Villa of Mysteries in Pompeii. But the day before at lunch in Pompeii she said, “Let’s extend our stay. We are having such a wonderful time.” She was right. I picked up my phone, opened the American Airlines app, found our return reservation, and pressed Cancel Flight. No hesitation. In that instant, we became officially, blissfully stranded in Italy with no return flight home and only a one night reservation at Portrait Roma. On the train from Naples to Rome the next day we explored places to stay in Florence and the Amalfi Coast. But when we arrived at Portrait Roma and were warmly greeted by Michelle and Sara and shown to our beautiful room I knew positively this was where we should stay. No need to go any further. We stayed nine nights. Portrait Roma transitioned from being a luxury hotel to being our home in Rome. Every member of the Portrait Roma team made us feel genuinely welcomed. They are absolutely professional with a passion to make our stay the best it possibly can be. When we returned from a day of wandering the streets, we felt like we were being greeted by family members. They truly made our stay a wonderful experience. Portrait Roma is located at the heart of the best shopping, dining, and exploring area in Rome. Our beautiful suite was the most comfortable accommodations with soft colors and textures that were pleasing to the eye and the hand. It was a wonderful place to sit and have tea or Gimber Tonic (a delicious ginger tonic treat they provide daily) and to map out a plan for the day. Every detail in the room was carefully considered, perfectly designed and masterfully implemented. The room was truly soft, quiet, comfortable and inviting. We put the housekeeping team to the test with our unpredictable schedule of wandering, dining and tours. The room was always put perfectly back together when we returned from our excursions. It was so nice to return to see the bed freshly (and tightly) made, the towels replaced, and everything (and I mean everything) perfectly clean and back in place. Next time we go to Rome, there will only be one place for us to stay, Portrait Roma. We recommend you try it. You won’t be disappointed.
