"The Orange Gardens, also known as the Giardino degli Aranci in Italian, is a beautiful public garden located on the Aventine Hill in Rome. It is a popular destination for both locals and tourists due to its stunning panoramic views of the city. The garden is named after the many orange trees that are planted throughout the area. These trees provide a delightful fragrance and add to the charm of the garden. In addition to the orange trees, there are also many other types of plants and flowers, including rose bushes, olive trees, and Mediterranean shrubs. One of the most prominent features of the Orange Gardens is the stunning view of the city that it offers. From the top of the hill, visitors can see many of Rome's most famous landmarks, including the Colosseum, St. Peter's Basilica, and the Roman Forum. The view is especially breathtaking at sunset when the city is bathed in a warm golden light. The Orange Gardens are also home to the famous Knights of Malta Keyhole, which is a unique viewpoint that offers a picturesque view of St. Peter's Basilica. To reach the keyhole, visitors must climb a short flight of stairs and peer through a small opening in a door. Looking through the keyhole, they will see a perfectly framed view of the basilica, surrounded by trees and other greenery."

"The Giardino degli Aranci, also known as the Parco Savello, is a public park located on the Aventine Hill in Rome, Italy. It is known for its beautiful orange trees, its stunning views of the city, and its peaceful atmosphere. The park was created in the 16th century by the Savelli family, who owned the land at the time. The Savelli family built a villa on the site, and they planted the orange trees that still give the park its name. In the 19th century, the park was acquired by the city of Rome and opened to the public. The park was renovated in the early 20th century, and it was given its current name, the Giardino degli Aranci. Today, the Giardino degli Aranci is a popular spot for tourists and locals alike. The park is a great place to relax and enjoy the views of the city. It is also a popular spot for picnics, weddings, and photo shoots."

Fascinating places in Rome - a little bit of this, a little bit of that, mixing classics with some unpopular, hidden gems! Where to eat/drink (including a bunch of beautiful rooftops), where to shop (outlets, bespoke & made in Italy - brands you rarely find outside this country) and what to visit around (gorgeous sights included, so be sure to check them out and take lots of pictures). Highlights: 🛵 Vespa - is an Italian luxury brand of scooters and mopeds manufactured by Piaggio. The name means wasp in Italian. An Italian icon since 1946. You’ll see many of these all over the city. 🍕 Roman style Pizza - we encounter "pizza al taglio," which means "by the cut". The scizzas, which are a type of scissors, are used to cut this pizza into square-shaped slices. This helps to maintain the structure of both the toppings and the crust. There is also “pizza bassa”, with a thin base. Roman pizza is practically the opposite to Neapolitan pizza: it is crispy and they are not afraid of toppings. A classic on all menus in Rome is the Capricciosa: topped with ham, mushrooms, olives, artichoke, an egg and tomato. Oil is added to the dough and there is much less water than the Naples version. 🥯 The maritozzo - is a classic sweet pastry, traditionally packed full of whipped cream, which has satisfied Romans for centuries. The dough-based bun is typically eaten in Rome for breakfast but can also be eaten as a hefty snack, or dessert, throughout the day. ☕️ Ristretto - is Italian for "short shots", and that's exactly what this shot of espresso brings to the table. Its main difference is that it takes a shorter extraction time, and uses less water therefore the flavor is rich and bold, and very intense. 🍧 La Grattachecca Romana - a favourite icy drink with fruity flavor; for the Romans, the grattachecca is sacred - strictly prepared by hand in the historical kiosks of the Rioni Trastevere, Testaccio and Prati, in the lively Ponte Milvio area and Trieste and Trionfale districts. Grattachecca derives, in fact, from the action with which the “ghiacciata" (ice) is produced: with a special tool, the ice is scraped off a block, called the "checca" in Roman dialect. 🛍️ When it comes to shopping, Rome can be quite the haven for designer brands, but there is no other fashion house more Roman than Valentino Garavani. The brand’s design (its famous studs) has its origins in the Renaissance architecture of Rome - the “bugnato” technique of the ancient Roman buildings. The largest Valentino store (in the world) lies here, in Rome, on the famous Piazza di Spagna site.
