August is also considered off-peak. you can book some nice roman hotels at a substantial discount. The rates at the Grand Flora are outrageous (anytime)

Unbelievable story to share with you all!
After reading all your posts on the Rome Grand Flora, decided still to go ahead and call this morning with the seemingly ridiculous mission of booking two nights on reward here in mid-August - this year! (i.e. just under 4 weeks away).
Of course I thought it couldn't be done, but I had to satisfy my curiousity...
And you know how this story is going to end, don't you? 
Two nights, booked, confirmed, confirmation in hand. Standard Cat 6 rededemption (didn't need to use "stay anytime" option)...
I'm still grinning and shaking my head in amazement, and I think I will be like that for the rest of today at least! </font>
