Discover Rome with Secret Tours

Palazzo Naiadi, The Dedica Anthology property known for five-star luxury in the heart of Rome, has created a series of initiatives to allow guests and locals to discover the secret beauties of the capital within this new post Covid-19 normality.

"We wanted to create unique experiences to be enjoyed outside the hotel, as Rome must be lived to be truly discovered,” says Piero Magrino, General Manager of Palazzo Naiadi. “You need to walk through the alleys of real Rome. Even during this unprecedented time, we want to ensure our guests can see the best of the city, enjoying it whilst feeling safe and protected. We have therefore sought out trusted partners, able to rethink their traditional way of workings. This includes all elements of the experience, from transport to adopting initiatives that allow social distancing. Our aim is to spark our guests’ excitement and emotions through unforgettable experiences in Rome".
