Hotel Confirmed

We have our hotel…It is the ‘Hotel Noto’ which we have stayed in for the majority of our visits to Rome. It has a great central location and is a perfect base for our time in the eternal city!

Shopping and Packing

Layers! Although the weather will be warm we have to be prepared for rain, so make sure you have enough clothes for sunshine, rain and to keep you warm if it is cold.


Footwear! We will be walking ALOT, all day and everyday! You need comfortable shoes!

Bags! Crossover (across the body) bags are recommended for safety and ease.

Toiletries! Pack all of them in your suitcase! If you really need that deodrant, lipbalm or foundation for travel then it must be 100ml or less and all travel toiletries MUST be in a clear plastic sealable sandwich bag. Miss Collins has bought lots of spares for you all which she will distribute on the buses. So don't worry if you don't have one!
