EXCEPTIONAL ESCAPADES

A whistle-stop tour of four luxurious travel experiences that offer something for everyone, from culture and adventure to wellness and royal-like living

When in Rome, go vintage electric

Explore the ‘Eternal City’ in the comfort of a zero-emission electric Fiat Spiaggina vintage car, knowing that you’re doing your bit to observe social distancing measures and protect the environment. The ‘Spiaggina Experience’ is new to the portfolio of bespoke adventures on offer at Rome Cavalieri, a Waldorf Astoria Hotel, a luxury urban resort located on the fringes of the city. The car is parked next to the hotel entrance and from here you embark on a self-drive exploration, taking in Rome’s millennial treasures while comfortably seated in your very own Spiaggina (meaning “little beach” in Italian). The hotel concierge is on hand to give you valuable insider tips for a truly customised discovery of the city, with highlights ranging from the Coliseum, the Baths of Caracalla and the Castel Sant’Angelo, to the Roman hills for an amazing sunset experience. Alternatively, check out more modern attractions such as the MAXXI Museum, Eataly or the Auditorium and don’t forget pit stops to savour local delicacies.

Prices start from AED 655 ($176) for four hours and AED 1,092 ($293) for a full day. The car seats four people including a driver. waldorfastoria3.hilton.com
