Destination Wedding Planning: Exclusive Rome Site Visits with Rocco Forte Hotels | MDE on Locations

This morning, I had the absolute pleasure of touring two of Rome’s finest gems, the Rocco Forte Hotels: Hotel de la Ville and Hotel de Russie✨ What a treat to dive into the heart of the Eternal City, surrounded by top-tier service and luxury that only these beautiful properties can deliver. 🇮🇹

First up, Hotel de la Ville, perched right above the Spanish Steps, it boasts some of the most breathtaking views of Rome’s rooftops 🌇 and is a quick stroll to iconic spots like the Trevi Fountain and Villa Borghese. 🏛️ And don’t get me started on the rooftop bar, Cielo—aperitivo with that view? Yes, please! 🍹 Oh, and did I mention the rooms are filled with quirky design touches that would make any Instagram feed jealous? 📸✨

Next, we headed to the stunning Hotel de Russie, nestled between the Piazza del Popolo and the Spanish Steps, this historic hotel is known for its secret garden 🌿—a lush oasis right in the middle of the city. Here, you can lose yourself in tranquility or plan the wedding of your dreams, complete with views of the Pincio Terrace. 🎉💍 

A huge *grazie* to Erika Mori for spending the morning showing our Michelle Durpetti Events team + Collin Pierson Photography how these hotels are the perfect backdrop for weddings and special events. 💕 Between the elegance, the charm, and the unbeatable locations, I can’t wait to see what magic we’ll create here. 🤩 Erika, grazie MILLE amica mia! 

Forever grateful to work in this magical country, celebrating my heritage and using my language skills to connect with these incredible people and places. Living la dolce vita, one stunning hotel (and wedding!) at a time! 🇮🇹💫
