Rome's Hedonistic Highlights in 24hrs

Freni e Frizioni- ambrosial breakfast cappuccino and croissants in a former mechanic's garage

Centrale Montemartini- classical statuary displayed provocatively on the machinery of this former electricity plant in gritty yet chic Ostiense

Santa Maria del Popolo- pop in to gaze at the pinchingly lovely Caravaggio canvases

TAD- quick shop in boutique concept store on Via del Babuino

Gina- light lunch amid the city's calorie conscious style mavens by the Spanish Steps

Acanto day spa- indulgent massage behind the Pantheon

Radisson SAS- steal a furtive hour's sunbathing by the rooftop pool

Via del Governo Vecchio- shopping for vintage bargains in Omero e Cecilia

Societe Lutece- aperitivo hour beckons and a reviving glass of prosecco and buffet of healthy snacks with centro storico's bright young things

Maccheroni- dinner with lashings of red wine

Rivendita- an after dinner coffee, a couple of handmade chocolates and a quick flick through some second hand books

Bar San Calisto- quick post prandial chat at this rough and ready Roma institution , and a livening jagermeister, the night is still young

Rialto Sant'Ambrogio- skip over to the Jewish ghetto, for live music, DJs and all sorts of cultural night time antics.
