Italy for me From Italy with love
Here you will find my rating of Top-10 best 5* hotels in Rome. The rating is based on my own experience and feedback from my friends and tourists.
Apart from the list, I would like to pay special attention to a new hotel called The Pantheon Iconic Rome Hotel, which was opened in 2018 near the Pantheon. The ideal location and service made my choice. If there are free rooms on your dates and the price is acceptable for you, do not hesitate and book it!
