All roads lead to Rome, and it's easy to see why. No history book would be complete without a chapter on Rome. It is a city so thoroughly soaked in culture and history you cannot walk more than ten meters and not run into sights you frequently see in textbooks and documentaries.

Rome has a glut of lodging options, spanning the entire budget range and running the gamut from the practical to the sinfully indulgent. You think it, Rome has it. From hotels, resorts, bed and breakfast, and rental flats, Rome offers the weary traveler a comfy place to call home.

Vacation Rental: The Concept

In recent years, the practice known as vacation rental has gained popularity. Fully furnished flats or houses are temporarily leased to tourists. The arrangement is more long-term than a hotel stay because while hotels charge guests on a daily basis, rental flats, Rome-based ones most specifically, had a fixed price during an entire holiday period. Sometimes, landlords impose a limitation on the maximum number of guests allowed.

Why Choose Rental Flats?

The rental flats Rome proffers to visitors provide a practical means for saving money. Rental flats can be very cheap, particularly when you are traveling with your family or in a group. The more people who will split the bill afterwards, the higher the savings are. In some cases, you can save as much as 60% on accommodation expenses.

There's another advantage to staying in a rented apartment. Through rental flats, Rome and its culture can pervade the ordinary tourist's life. What better way to get to know a city and its people if not from the inside of a Roman home?

Additionally, most rental flats are located close to the magnificent structures the city is famous for. You can thereby explore the city at your leisure, and discover its charms at your own pace and in your own time.

Getting that Roman Holiday

If you plan to visit Rome, talk to your travel agent. Solicit his advice. It's highly likely he will offer you a pre-planned package option along with his advice. Be warned, though, that holiday travel packages are not always the most reasonably priced options in the market. To save money, you could plan your trip yourself. Many online sites, such as http://www.Holiday4You.com to provide you with the information you need to plan your vacations efficiently and effectively.

It is very easy to fall in love with a city as beautiful and historically significant as Rome. In fact, when the great German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe visited Rome for the first time, he enthused, "In Rome, I have found myself for the first time. I now realize all the dreams of my youth."

Goethe fell in love with the city. If we give the city half a chance, so would we.
