Hotel Review
Bio Hotel Raphaël, Rome, Italy
WHAT WE LOVE...
As you approach this impressive Relais & Chateaux eco-hotel, the first thing you notice is that it is draped with plants - an attractive mix of vine, wisteria and bougainvillea. Vegetarians and vegans will especially love this hotel, with its seriously good rooftop restaurant focusing on their needs. There's some impressive antique furniture and even more impressive artworks, by the likes of Picasso and Miró. There's a gym, small library and business centre, and the guest rooms are opulent, furnished in either a contemporary or traditional style - there's something for everyone!
