What We Do for You
Before check-in, already working for you
We create tailor-made stays because we know Rome in the ways that matter: not only the monuments, but the rhythms, the nuances, the right places at the right time. Transfers, private tours, gastronomic experiences, personal care — every service comes from the same belief: a good hotel does not just provide you with a bed for the night.
Transfer privati su prenotazione
Il viaggio inizia prima dell'arrivo
True luxury begins with the perfection of details — and nothing is more frustrating than a chaotic transfer after a long journey. With Efes Hôtellerie, your arrival in Rome is already an experience.
We offer a private transfer service on request to and from all the main hubs of Rome: Fiumicino Airport (Leonardo da Vinci), Ciampino Airport, Termini Station and Tiburtina Station. Selected vehicles, professional drivers, guaranteed punctuality.
Also available for transfers to other Italian destinations: Naples, Florence, Amalfi, Pompeii. Your Italy, on board a private car.
Experiences and private tours in Rome
Rome is not visited. It is revealed — to those who know how to look at it
There is a Rome that belongs to guidebooks, to queues in front of monuments, to postcard photos. And then there is another Rome: the one of hidden courtyards, forgotten churches, alleys that Romans walk through every day without ever ceasing to be amazed. It is this Rome that we want to show you.
Through an exclusive selection of tailor-made private tours, we connect you with the best certified guides in the city: art historians, archaeologists, passionate storytellers who turn every visit into a narrative. Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill with priority access. Vatican and Sistine Chapel before public opening. Trastevere at sunset. The Rome of Caravaggio, Bernini, Fellini.
Every experience is designed around you: your interests, your pace, your story.
Available types:
Art and history cultural tours; Private visits to the Vatican Museums; Exclusive access to the Colosseum; Photographic itineraries; Secret and underground Rome; Sunset and night tours
Vespa Tour & Private culinary tours
The wind in your hair. The scent of coffee. Rome as only Romans know it
There are two ways to truly experience Rome: on a Vespa and at the table. We offer you both.
Private Vespa Tour
Get on a vintage Vespa and let Rome surprise you at every turn. Our private Vespa Tours are led by local experts who know every corner of the city: from the Imperial Forums to the Gianicolo, from Testaccio to EUR, crossing views that no tourist bus could ever show you. The freedom on two wheels, in the heart of the most beautiful city in the world.
Morning, sunset or evening tours; Customizable routes; Also suitable for those who have never ridden a Vespa; Maximum privacy and safety guaranteed
Private culinary tour
Rome is also this: the sauce of coda alla vaccinara gently simmering since the morning, the crispy supplì from a neighborhood bakery, the artisanal gelato made with fresh milk from the Roman countryside. Our private culinary tours are sensory experiences that take guests through historic markets — Campo de' Fiori, Testaccio — into authentic osterias far from the tourist circuit, and artisan shops where the Roman gastronomic tradition is still alive and preserved.
Possibility to include Roman cooking classes with local chefs; Lazio wine tastings; Kosher, vegetarian and vegan options available on request
In-Hotel Barber Service
The detail that makes the difference, before going out
In Rome, elegance is not optional. Our Barber service is designed for guests who do not want to give up personal care even while traveling — on the contrary, who consider grooming an integral part of the stay experience.
Upon reservation, a professional barber comes directly to the property to offer a complete and private service: haircut and styling, traditional straight razor shave, beard care, facial treatments. All with selected high-quality products, in an atmosphere of total privacy and comfort.
Because stepping out of Efes Hôtellerie means presenting yourself to Rome — and Rome deserves the best of you.
Recommendations on the best restaurants in Rome
There are no guides. There is the knowledge of those who live here
Behind every great stay there is always at least one unforgettable dinner. Our team knows Rome as one knows a city they have always loved: its rhythms, its secrets, the places where Romans return every week and those that open only to those who know where to knock.
Upon request, our concierge will provide you with a carefully curated and up-to-date selection of the best restaurants in Rome based on your tastes, the type of evening, your budget and the desired cuisine. Not a generic list — a personalized recommendation, just like a long-time Roman friend would do.
Our selection categories:
Traditional Roman Cuisine; Fine Dining and Michelin-Starred Restaurants; Wine Bars and Wine Shops; Breakfast Spots and Historic Cafés; Artisanal Gelato Shops.
FAQ
You can request a transfer directly by contacting our team via email or WhatsApp. Please provide your flight or train number, arrival time, and the number of passengers and luggage. Rates vary depending on the route (Fiumicino, Ciampino, Termini, or Tiburtina) and the vehicle type. We will provide a clear, fixed quote prior to confirmation so there are no surprises upon arrival.
As early as possible, ideally right after confirming your stay. Priority access to the Colosseum and early-morning Vatican Museum tickets are strictly limited and often sell out months in advance. Booking early ensures we can secure top certified guides and the most convenient time slots for you.
Absolutely. Our private Vespa Tours are also tailored for those with zero experience on two wheels. If you don't drive, you will ride comfortably as a passenger on the back seat behind one of our professional local drivers and guides. All you have to do is enjoy the views in complete safety.
Yes, seamlessly. Whether for our private food tours or daily restaurant bookings, we can tailor itineraries and recommend dining spots that offer gluten-free, dairy-free, kosher, vegetarian, or vegan options. Just let us know your dietary requirements or allergies when making your request.
This is an exclusive service available upon request. A professional barber will come directly to the privacy of your room for haircuts, styling, beard grooming, or traditional straight-razor shaves.
