The fountains that you will find in Rome are amazing to see and they are rich with tradition and history. There are fountains that date as far back as the Roman Empire and many that reflect the surge of creativity of the Renaissance as well.

In most modern cities, fountains are lovely but mostly there for utilitarian purposes. Rome stands out because in Rome if there is going to be a fountain installation, it must achieve a high level of artistic value. That is because Rome itself is one big artwork so the fountains have to reflect that.

A cup of tea is a bit like a little miracle, it can restore the soul and spirit in just a few minutes. The same can be said about a great bed and breakfast, as well. And plenty of innkeepers offer both special accommodations and afternoon teas. In fact, many innkeepers are hosting specialty teas to celebrate everything from a bridal or baby shower to a book club meeting or a birthday party. The seasoned innkeeper can set the scene with beautiful decor, fine china and delectable savories and sweets. The toughest choice you’ll have to make is whether to partake of Darjeeling or Earl Grey.
