Why this package wins for nonprofits
Rome is the trip that stops a room mid-breath. The Colosseum with Arena Access, the Trevi Fountain, the cobblestone streets of Trastevere—these are the places bidders have carried in their minds since childhood. This package delivers them. Your winners will choose from guided experiences: the Colosseum with Roman Forum and Palatine Hill access, an evening tour of the Catacombs with Santa Maria Maggiore after-hours, or an intimate Golf Cart Food Tour of Rome's neighborhoods. Four nights across four distinct hotel options—Hotel Artemide, Hotel Forum, Rome Times, or The Glam—means the package fits different budgets and bidding momentum. The reserve is $3,495. Everything above that goes directly to your mission. No upfront cost to your nonprofit, no risk. Rome auctions don't need hype; they need a clear path to the starting paddle.
The experience your winner walks into
Your winners arrive in Rome and settle into one of four carefully selected hotels: Hotel Artemide, Hotel Forum, Rome Times, or The Glam. They choose their signature experience: perhaps the Colosseum with Arena Access, stepping into the chambers where gladiators once stood, then walking the Roman Forum and climbing Palatine Hill to see the city unfold beneath them. Or they opt for the Catacombs Evening Tour, descending into the underground chambers and emerging for an after-hours visit to Santa Maria Maggiore's candlelit interior. A third path: the Golf Cart Food Tour of Rome, moving through neighborhoods at a pace that lets them taste, linger, ask questions, and return to favorite corners. Between excursions, they wander Trastevere's cobblestones, toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, and sit over long meals where centuries of architecture frame every table. Four nights to move at their own rhythm, guided when they choose to be.
