Activities
This family-friendly hotel's huge garden is a calm haven after full-on Rome. Mini Attenboroughs will love the hotel's Secret Garden, where the Butterfly Oasis butterfly reserve is endorsed by the World Wildlife Fund. Hotel-organised tours, such as a private viewing of the Sistine Chapel, make light work of family sightseeing.
