Rome's TriplaPremium: Unbelievable Luxury Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving HEADFIRST into the unbelievably luxurious, potentially life-altering (okay, maybe just vacation-altering) world of Rome's TriplaPremium. They promised "Unbelievable Luxury Awaits!" and, well, let's just say I've emerged from this experience… changed. Slightly fatter, definitely more relaxed, and with a story or two you just WON'T believe.
First, the Brutal Honest Truth (because you're here for it, right?)
Look, I'm not a billionaire. I'm more of a "find a cheap flight and hope for the best" kind of traveler. So, when I saw "TriplaPremium," my inner cheapskate did a silent scream. But then I saw the photos. Oh, the photos! And the promise of luxury… well, that's a siren song I couldn't resist.
Accessibility: A Mixed Bag (and a Sigh of Relief)
Okay, let's get the nitty-gritty out of the way. The website says they're accessible, and they've got the facilities for disabled guests listed. That’s a good start! BUT I didn't personally investigate this feature so I suggest confirming the precise arrangement to your needs.
Room with a View (and My Jaw on the Floor)
And here's where my brain temporarily short-circuited. My room? It was a goddamn palace. Seriously. I'm talking multiple rooms, a separate shower/bathtub situation that could house a small family, and a window that opens onto… well, let's just say it was breathtaking. It wasn't just the view, though. It was the atmosphere. Remember I mentioned "slightly fatter?" Blame the mini bar, coffee/tea maker, and the endless complimentary tea and the complimentary bottled water. They practically begged you to stay in. And the blackout curtains? Pure genius. Forget jet lag, you become a sleep-ninja.
Internet: The Double-Edged Wi-Fi Sword
Aaaaaand, here’s where things get messy. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! YES! Internet access – wireless and also Internet access – LAN! YES! However it's sometimes slow. Sometimes I felt like I was back on dial-up. Other times, though, it was blazing fast. Mixed feelings people, mixed feelings.
Things to Do (Besides Staring at the Ceiling in Awe)
Okay, get ready for a very long list. They had a Fitness center, a Gym/fitness room, a Massage that felt like heaven, a Spa, a Spa/sauna, Sauna, Steamroom, Foot bath, Body scrub, Body wrap, and a Swimming pool [outdoor] with a Pool with view. I was in heaven. I think I spent a good chunk of time relaxing in the sauna.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Prepare to Undo Your Pants
Listen, I'm a foodie. I love food. And TriplaPremium went from "luxury hotel" to "culinary wonderland." The Breakfast [buffet] was something else. Every. Single. Morning. They had Asian breakfast, Western breakfast, A la carte in restaurant, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, and Poolside bar. Honestly? I ate everything. The Asian cuisine in restaurant was to die for, the Western cuisine in restaurant equally fantastic. The Room service [24-hour]? Dangerous. You must try the desserts. JUST. DO. IT.
Hygiene, Safety, and the COVID-19 Circus
Okay, let's get real. Traveling these days is… different. I'm happy to report, TriplaPremium took this seriously. They had Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer everywhere, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, and Rooms sanitized between stays. They also had Safe dining setup, and Sanitized kitchen and tableware items. Did I feel safe? Absolutely. Did I feel like I was constantly being watched? Not at all. They found the right balance.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Make You Swoon
From the moment I arrived, it was clear they get hospitality. The Concierge was brilliant, the Doorman welcoming, and the Daily housekeeping immaculate. They had Cash withdrawal, Currency exchange, Dry cleaning, Ironing service, Laundry service and Luggage storage. Honestly, they had everything.
For the Kids (and Grown-Up Kids): A Family Affair?
Okay, Family/child friendly is a good sign, and they offer Babysitting service and Kids meal.
The Quirks and the Feels: My Personal TriplaPremium Journey
Okay, here's the REAL juice. On my second day, I accidentally ordered room service at 3 am. Don't judge me. The gentleman who brought the food? He didn't bat an eye. He just smiled, told me to enjoy the cake (it was divine), and vanished like a polite ghost. That, my friends, is luxury. And the Safe dining setup truly made me feel at ease, allowing me to not only enjoy the meal, but to feel safe.
The One-Two Punch: The Pool View and the Massage
Okay, I'm going with the pool view. Seriously. The way the sun glinted off the water in the swimming pool [outdoor]. It was breathtaking. I spent hours there, reading, sipping cocktails, and just… being. It was the kind of relaxation I didn’t usually allow myself.
The Imperfections
- The elevator was a tad slow. Okay, more than a tad. But hey, it's Rome, right? Embrace the opportunity to sneak in a cappuccino while you wait…
My Verdict: Is TriplaPremium Worth It?
Look, it's not cheap. But, considering the experience? Absolutely. I mean, the Room sanitization opt-out available made me feel more comfortable. This isn't just a hotel, it's an experience. It's a chance to unplug, unwind, and let someone else take care of everything. It's a taste of the high life (even if it's just for a few days). I left feeling rested, rejuvenated, and with a serious craving for more.

Lovett Lodge Invercargill: NZ's BEST Kept Secret? Unbelievable Views Await!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's perfectly curated travel itinerary. We're going to Rome, baby, and we're doing it wrong. Emphasis on the we, because I'm probably going to need a co-pilot for this emotional rollercoaster. Here's the absolute chaotic brilliance I've conjured for TimeRoma S. - TriplaPremium, Rome Italy:
Day 1: Arrival, Jet Lag, and Existential Dread (Welcome to Rome!)
- 8:00 AM (ish) - Flight from… Well, it doesn't really matter, does it? Probably somewhere ridiculously early where the coffee tasted like sadness. Pre-flight anxiety fueled by airport pretzels that cost more than my first car.
- 2:00 PM (again, ish) - Landing in Fiumicino (FCO). The air smelled vaguely of freedom and something vaguely resembling stale pizza. My internal monologue immediately starts screaming, "ARE WE EVEN PREPARED FOR THIS???"
- 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM - Survival Mode: Airport Inquisition. Navigating customs with a mix of terror and awe. Praying my Italian phrase book doesn't cause an international incident. (Spoiler alert: It might). Finally get to the luggage carousel, watching my life flash before my eyes as bag after bag goes by. Success!
- 4:00 PM - That Taxi Ride. Getting to TimeRoma S. - TriplaPremium! I’m terrified of Roman taxi drivers. They look like they've spent their entire lives mastering the art of near-death experiences. Holding on for dear life while silently admiring their utter disregard for road rules. My stomach is going through the motions of some sort of roller coaster.
- 5:00 PM - Check-in Catastrophe. The TriplaPremium? Sounds glamorous. Reality? Probably a struggle to find the light switch. This is where the jet lag will really kick in. My brain will be operating at approximately 2% efficiency. The room… well, let’s just say I’ll be mentally rearranging the furniture while simultaneously questioning all my life choices.
- 6:00 PM - "Dinner" (aka, a desperate attempt to consume something edible). Finding a trattoria near the hotel. Praying it's not a tourist trap. Ordering something completely unpronounceable off the menu and hoping for the best. Probably getting something with pasta, because, Rome. And maybe collapsing into a food coma on the table.
- 7:30 PM - The Eternal Nap. Just…sleep. A deep, glorious, uninterrupted sleep. (Probably won’t happen).
- 8:00 PM - Waking up at midnight. Looking around for something to eat, probably finding nothing
Day 2: Colosseum Carnage, Fountain Frustration, and Gelato Glory (Or, the Day My Feet Tried to Murder Me)
- 9:00 AM - Attempted Breakfast. The hotel breakfast situation: Praying the coffee is strong enough to combat my jet lag-induced stupor. Scouring the buffet for things I can actually identify. Probably eating a croissant that looks suspiciously like cardboard.
- 10:00 AM - Colosseum Conquest. Booked a tour (thank God, because I probably wouldn’t survive the ticket line). Massive queues, sweating, and existential dread. Gazing upon the Colosseum and trying not to hyperventilate at the sheer historical weight of the place. The stories… the gladiators… the lions… I can almost smell the blood.
- 12:00 PM - Forum Frenzy. Walking around the Roman Forum, feeling like I'm stumbling around in history. Tripping over rocks. Accidentally "discovering" a previously unknown ancient ruin (probably not). Feeling utterly insignificant and incredibly awestruck all at the same time.
- 1:30 PM - Lunch Lament. Finding a place to eat near the ruins, where I'll pay tourist prices for mediocre pizza, but whatever.
- 3:00 PM - Trevi Fountain Trauma. "The Trevi Fountain! Gorgeous! Romantic!" What I encountered? Hordes of people, elbows everywhere, and an overwhelming desire to scream. The water is beautiful, the architecture is incredible, but the sheer volume of humanity made it impossible to enjoy. Tossed a coin in, hoping for a taxi that drives me directly back to the hotel.
- 4:00 PM - "The Spanish Steps." An endless, brutal, uphill climb. The steps are beautiful. But the fact that I can’t stop breathing at the top is not. My legs scream in protest. Contemplating hiring a sherpa.
- 5:00 PM - Gelato Nirvana. Finally, a moment of pure, unadulterated joy! Found a gelato shop that wasn’t a tourist trap. The gelato! The flavors! The sweet, icy comfort! This is what life is about. Buying two scoops, then promptly dropping one on the pavement. More despair.
- 6:00 PM - Rest & Regroup. Back to the hotel, collapsing on the bed, and considering never leaving.
- 7:30 PM - Dinner & Debate. Deciding where to eat again: The eternal question. I'm already exhausted. Do I risk another restaurant? Or give in to the allure of the hotel mini-bar and a bag of chips?
Day 3: Vatican City, Art Attacks, and Aperitivo Anxiety (Embrace the Chaos!)
- 9:00 AM - Vatican Vibes. The Vatican! The Sistine Chapel! The sheer amount of art and history will probably make me faint (or at least dramatically clutch my chest). St. Peter's Basilica: Feeling incredibly small and deeply moved all at once.
- 12:00 PM - The Vatican Museums. More art, more people, more feeling overwhelmed. I will get lost. I will accidentally touch something I shouldn't. I will have a moment of profound artistic appreciation.
- 1:30 PM - Lunch Near the Vatican…Or Far Away. Seeking out somewhere slightly off the beaten path for lunch to avoid the tourist-fueled price gouging.
- 3:00 PM - Art Attack, Part Deux: The Borghese Gallery. My brain is already overloaded, but I've committed. Hoping I don't end up accidentally getting kicked out for accidentally mistaking a Michelangelo for a mop.
- 5:00 PM - Aperitivo Perplexity. The "Aperitivo" is that magical Italian hour of pre-dinner drinks and snacks, right? That's the theory. In practice, I will probably order the wrong drink and fumble with the buffet table, while pretending to understand the Italian conversations swirling around me.
- 6:30 PM - Dinner Disaster or Deliciousness. A final Roman dinner. Praying it's amazing. Hoping I don't leave my purse on the bus.
- 8:00 PM - Packing Paranoia. The moment I realise I still have to pack and get back home. Thinking I'm gonna miss everything and everyone so much.
- 9:00 PM - Sleep, sweet sleep.
Day 4: Departure (and a Thousand Regrets)
- 7:00 AM: Last chance breakfast. Pretending I haven't already gained five pounds in gelato weight.
- 8:00 AM: Check out, suitcase struggles. One last look at the Eternal City.
- 9:00 AM: Taxi to airport. The ride which will probably be even crazier than the first one as the driver will be in a hurry, knowing a good tip waits for him.
- 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Airport chaos, security lines, and the existential dread of going home.
- 1:00 PM: Flight! Hopefully taking off with all my limbs intact.
- Somewhere over the Atlantic: Reflecting on the best and worst trip of my life. Already planning my return.
Important Notes:
- Pace Yourself (HA!). This is a suggestion. I will probably fail.
- Food: Eat everything. Then eat some more.
- Language: Learn a few basic Italian phrases, then completely butcher them.
- Embrace the Mess: Rome is beautiful, chaotic, and sometimes infuriating. Just roll with it.
- Take a deep breath: you'll need it. Frequently.
This is more of a potential outcome than a plan. There's room for spontaneous detours, melt-downs, and moments of pure, unadulterated joy. Welcome to the real Rome, baby.

Rome's TriplaPremium: You'll Never Look at Vacations the Same Way... Probably. Frequently Asked Questions (and My Ramblings)
Okay, So What *IS* This TriplaPremium Thing, Anyway? Sounds Expensive. My Wallet's Already Crying.
Alright, buckle up, buttercup. Basically, TriplaPremium is... well, it's supposed to be the *creme de la creme*. Think luxury, think "I'm-never-going-back-to-budget-hotels-again" level. They promise curated experiences in Rome, which *usually* means fancy hotels, private tours, Michelin-starred meals... the works. And yeah, 'expensive' is a massive understatement. My bank account is still recovering. Seriously, after this trip, I'm pretty sure I'll be eating instant ramen for the next six months. Worth it? ...We'll get to that.
Honestly, the brochure was all sleek photos of impeccably dressed people sipping champagne with the Colosseum in the background. It made me feel like a frumpy tourist, even planning the thing. And it definitely *felt* expensive. My initial thought was, "Who the HELL can afford this?!" Then, I did a thing. Don't judge. But, hey, at least I got the experience to complain about!
Did it *Actually* Live Up to the Hype? Or Was It Just Overpriced Hocus Pocus? (Be Honest!)
This is the million-dollar question, isn't it? The truth is... it's complicated. Some parts? Absolutely, unequivocally brilliant. I'm talking jaw-dropping, "I can't believe I'm actually *here*" brilliant. Other parts? Well, let's just say they were... less brilliant. Like, "Did I just pay a small fortune to be mildly disappointed?" levels of less brilliant.
For example, that private after-hours tour of the Vatican Museums? Unforgettable. Being practically alone in the Sistine Chapel? Mind-blowing. Our guide, a charming old Italian man named Giovanni, told us stories I'd never have heard on a regular tour. He knew all the secret doors, whispered about the artists… felt like being let in on THE greatest secrets. Literally teared up as the Sistine Chapel's light hit me... that felt worth *every penny*. I mean, the Vatican's a pressure point for the masses.
But then... then there was the chauffeur. Lovely guy, honestly, but seemed to take the *scenic* route everywhere. Traffic in Rome is already a nightmare! He once took us down a dead-end street, and we had to reverse for five minutes while people yelled at us. It was a chaotic comedy. And the meal at the Michelin-starred restaurant that wasn't *quite* Michelin-starred? (or maybe it had lost its star). Delicious, yes, but I wouldn't say it was *life-changing*. And certainly not worth the price tag. I'm still pissed at my food allergies for holding me back.
What Sort of "Curated Experiences" Are We Talking About Here? Give Me Some Examples!
Okay, prepare to drool (or maybe just roll your eyes). TriplaPremium throws around a lot of buzzwords. "Exclusive," "bespoke," "immersive"... You name it, they used it. Here's a taste of what they shoveled on me:
- Private Access Everywhere. We're talking "skip-the-line" at the Vatican, early morning viewings of the Borghese Gallery (practically *empty*!), and behind-the-scenes tours of... well, anything you ask for, really. Which, by the way, I would totally do again!
- Gourmet Food Galore. Multi-course meals at fancy restaurants (some GREAT, some... less so), cooking classes with celebrity chefs (yes, really!), and private wine tastings. The wine was fantastic, I have to say.
- Luxury Accommodation. Think palatial hotels with ridiculous amenities. We had a balcony overlooking the Trevi Fountain in our first room. The second room, though… well, let’s just say it smelled faintly of old socks.
- Personalized Transportation. Chauffeurs (see above) and private drivers. And a helicopter ride over Rome. Yes, seriously. (That was definitely a highlight, even if I did get slightly airsick).
- Shopping Sprees. Personal shoppers who know the most exclusive boutiques in Rome. *I* didn't actually do this. I'd rather eat!
Honestly, you start to feel incredibly decadent, then slightly overwhelmed by it all. It’s like someone took your idea of a vacation, dialed it up to eleven, then threw in a hefty dose of guilt for good measure!
Okay, Let's Talk Money. Roughly, how much are we talking here to live this lavish life? (Don't worry, I won't judge... much.)
Alright, prepare to clutch your pearls. The cost is... well, let's call it *significant*. I'm not going to throw around exact numbers, but let's just say it's in the realm of "mortgage payment for a small apartment" territory. For a week in Rome, with all the trimmings, you could easily shell out the cost. And it depends on your flight, travel dates, and level of excess. Personally, I'm not sure I could truly enjoy this experience again because of my bank account. This is where I start rambling but I think it is important:
Think about it. Each private tour, each Michelin-starred meal, each fancy hotel room, the *chauffeur that gets lost in traffic?!* It all adds up. And don't forget the tips! You'll be tipping everyone from the bellhop to the guy who shines your shoes. It’s worth it just to learn the system, and some of them are really, really good. And the whole thing feels like you're being judged a little. Which is why everyone is so polite to you! It's really wild to watch everyone fall into being nice to you when you have the money.
My advice? If you're considering TriplaPremium, start saving now. Or, you know, sell a kidney. (Kidding! Mostly...)
What's the *Worst* Part of the TriplaPremium Experience? Spill the Tea!
Ugh. The *worst* part? Definitely the pressure. And by pressure, I mean the pressure to constantly be 'enjoying' yourself. Think about it: everyone wants you to have a nice trip. You've spent a fortune! So you feel this constant obligation to be "living your best life," even when you're exhausted, jet-lagged, and just want to sit in your room and eat a packet of crisps (which, by the way, you're not allowed to do because everything is 'curated').
The logistics were also a nightmare at times. So. Many. Reservations. So many itineraries to stick to. One day, I swear, I had to get up at 6 AM for a guided tour, followed by a cooking class, and then a private opera performance! It was too much! I felt like I was on a military operation, not a vacationStay Collective
