Roma has fostered so many whimsical and romantic moments in the history of cinema that it would be difficult to tell them all. From the radical romance of Roman Holiday, the first Hollywood film shot entirely in Italy, to the self-realization in Eat Pray Love, many films shot in Rome touch the center and remain remembered. In the spirit of celebrating this special cinematic history, Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese now invites visitors to enjoy a tour of Rome’s best-known filming locations.
With the hotel’s Sightseeing and Savor, visitors can book a variety of e-tours that will show them the highlights of the city’s big-screen legacy. Manuela Rampado, Director of Marketing and Sales at Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese, said: “We seek to offer our visitors an immersive adventure that combines the appeal of Rome’s iconic filming locations with the flavours of Italian cuisine. The new tourist and tasty delight allows moviegoers to relive the sights, sounds and taste of beloved Italian films, creating unforgettable memories in The Eternal City.
He added: “Our concierge, Agostino Sità, has extensive wisdom about Rome’s hidden gems, offering our visitors a truly original experience. From guided tours to self-exploration, visitors can be informed about Rome’s cinematic heritage and then enjoy an Italian film-inspired dinner in Settimo accompanied by a delicious cocktail and ice cream with delicious turndown service. “
Some filming locations that you may need to explore with an excursion or on your own include the following locations.
Sparks flew for Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn as their characters in the 1953 romantic comedy Roman Holiday. In the film, Hepburn plays a princess who sets out to explore Rome on her own, and memorable scenes have been filmed in more than a dozen locations in the city. Filming locations come with the Pantheon, the Colosseum, the Mouth of Truth and Castel Sant’Angelo.
The Trevi Fountain has also been noticed in Roman Holiday and many other films. If you noticed Three Coins in the Fountain, La Dolce Vita, The Lizzie McGuire Movie or When in Rome, you noticed the Trevi Fountain. Called Trevi Fountain in Italian, it is the largest baroque fountain in Rome. People come from everywhere to make a wish and then throw a coin into the fountain.
One way to see some of the amazing filming locations is to sign up for an ArcheoRunning tour. Since its inception through Isabella Calidonna in 2016, ArcheoRunning has featured a variety of personal running and walking tours in Rome, as well as cinema-themed tours. Not only can you release pent-up energy during the holidays and enjoy a smart workout at the speed you’ve selected on a tour, but you can also see more vital attractions used in videos than on a traditional slower walking tour.
Running can be informative and fun.
