GUIDE FOR YOUR STAY
your stay in rome
Hello, I'm Amalia,
Welcome to C’Est la Vie Suites!
Dear guests, It’s great to have you here! I’m from Naples originally, but I’ve been living in Rome for the last twelve years – I love it there. I’m married with two kids, so I don’t always have much time to be here myself.
Even when I’m not on site, you can count on me to be there for you every step of the way. I’ve got your back with top-notch service, thanks to the awesome teamwork of Francesca. She’ll be at C’Est la Vie Suites every morning, ready to lend a hand with a smile!! I’ve always had a real passion for hospitality, and after university I started working in some really prestigious hotels in our country. That’s how I gained the skills and experience I have today. I decided to make hospitality my career, and I’ve been working hard ever since to create a place where guests feel welcome and well looked after.
ùIt’s a great feeling to be able to build a direct relationship with you, offer small moments of attention and make sure your vacation is unforgettable. I’m really passionate about this job and I love every minute of it! I’m here to make sure you have the best time in Rome and to give you all the information you need to make the most of the city.
So come and join me, have fun and make your trip unforgettable! Warmly, Amalia!

A TRIP TO PRATI - VATICAN
ST. PETER'S BASILICA
It is the largest of the four papal basilicas in Rome and is often described as the largest church in the world both in terms of its size and, metaphorically, its importance as the centre of Catholicism.
VATICAN MUSEUMS AND SISTINE CHAPEL
The Vatican Museums are the national museum of the Vatican City. Founded by Pope Julius II in the 16th century, they occupy a large part of the vast Belvedere courtyard and are one of the largest art collections in the world, displaying the enormous collection of works of art accumulated over the centuries by the popes: the Sistine Chapel and the papal flats frescoed by Michelangelo and Raphael are among the works visitors can admire during their visit. Although the museums are located entirely on Vatican territory, their entrance is on Italian territory
CHURCH OF THE SACRED HEART
The Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Prati is a Catholic place of worship in the centre of Rome, located in the Prati district. The church, designed by engineer Giuseppe Gualandi, is known as the ‘little cathedral of Milan’ for its rich neo-Gothic style.
castel sant'angelo
Castel Sant'Angelo, also known as Hadrian's Mausoleum, is a monument in Rome, located on the right bank of the Tiber opposite the pons Aelius (today's Ponte Sant'Angelo), a short distance from the Vatican, between the Borgo and Prati districts; it is connected to the Vatican State through the fortified corridor of the ‘passetto’. The castle was radically altered several times during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance
THE PALACE OF JUSTICE
The Palace of Justice is a judicial building in Rome located in Piazza Cavour, in the Prati district.
