About Us

The pace of the city

Rome lives by its own clock. Dinner here starts after nine; in a Michelin venue, closer to ten, and ends past midnight. What in Moscow would count as a late meeting is, in Rome, an ordinary Tuesday evening. So our peak runs from 19:30 to two in the morning, and Friday-Saturday holds the bulk of the load.

Tourism in Rome is year-round, but our client flow is seasonal. April-June and September-October — two tall windows. In July and August the city empties out by five in the afternoon, the Romans leave, and what's left are tourists in shorts and Arab families at the Hassler. Winter is calmer, but it's in winter that guests come for closed Vatican events and diplomatic weeks.

The manager is on the line 24/7. Reply usually inside the first three minutes. Model matched in thirty to a hundred and twenty minutes — the lower bound for a weekday afternoon, the upper for Friday at ten on a high-season night. If you want a particular companion for Imàgo on Saturday — write a week ahead. For "tonight at eleven" we'll match, but from those who are free.

Where we work

Centro Storico is the core zone. The triangle of Piazza di Spagna, Pantheon and Piazza Navona, plus Via del Corso, Via Condotti, Via Veneto. All our principal hotels and three quarters of the restaurants we hold direct contact with sit here. On foot from the Hassler to Hotel Eden — ten minutes; to Bulgari — twelve. To Hotel de Russie — five.

Parioli — a quiet, respectable district to the north, the embassy quarter, private villas, private receptions. We go up there by arrangement, more often for returning clients or for diplomatic accompaniment. Aventino — for intimate evenings, Tiber views, the Aventine Hill. Trastevere — the other Italy, narrow lanes, osterie, an informal "no tie" dinner.

EUR — the business district to the south, business centres, conferences, corporate events. We go there for a specific scenario — talks, a corporate dinner, accompaniment at an event. Castelli Romani — the hills southeast of the city, Frascati, Castel Gandolfo, private Lazio villas. That's already the "weekend" or day-trip format. Usually agreed in advance, minimum 48 hours.

Beyond Lazio — Capri, Tuscany, the Amalfi Coast — we work through the trip format: the model accompanies the client from two days up. Travel, accommodation, meals — on the client. Airports — Fiumicino and Ciampino, both an hour from the centre.

Etiquette and dress code

Roman elegance is its own school. Not Milan with its fashion strictness, not Naples with its southern flourish. Here they value tailored — Brioni, Caraceni, Kiton — and they have no patience for the showy. The same goes for the model. At the Hassler, Hotel de Russie, Eden, Bulgari, St. Regis the model arrives in cocktail or evening wear — no sequins, no logos in plain sight, nothing in excess. Restrained accessories. A light fragrance, not one that arrives ahead of her.

For a Michelin level (La Pergola, Imàgo, Aroma) — smart formal: a long or strict cocktail dress, a mid-height heel, minimum jewellery. Pierluigi and Roscioli — slightly looser, but still a polished city look, not club wear. Trastevere is the only zone where jeans plus a blouse pass — and only in a premium label.

A late dinner is the Roman norm. A table at 21:30 or 22:00 is ordinary. The model arrives in the hotel lobby or directly at the restaurant ten to fifteen minutes ahead. After dinner — a walk through the Centro Storico, the hotel bar, or up to your suite. No one is in a hurry — this isn't Dubai with its midnight finish.

Languages: Italian — the working base of our Roman team. English — across the board, at conversational level, not schoolroom. French, German, Arabic, Russian — selectively, on request. For a diplomatic format we match a model with the specific language and an understanding of the protocol.

Things we say plainly

Minimum slot — two hours. We don't take less: in an hour you can't really dine, can't really get to Castelli, can't really meet. A standard dinner in the Centro Storico runs three to four hours — plan for it from the start.

Prices in Rome are denominated in dollars — that's the APEX external settlement currency, and convenient for most of our clients (Americans, Arab guests, visitors via the trip format). Standard segment: $1,200 for two hours, $1,500 for four, $2,500 for a night, $4,000 for a day, $6,000 for two days. Media tier: $3,500 for two hours, $5,000 for four. Prices are final; haggling after the meeting doesn't exist. If something is off in the format — discussed in the same hour, not "we'll sort it later".

Sharing a model's photos with third parties is forbidden. It's not a wish, it's a condition fixed at the coordination stage. A breach is a matter for lawyers, and we make that clear to the client up front. Mass events without a specific personal client are not our format. Hostess functions at large events — only if there's a personal scenario inside.

Twelve years in the industry built themselves on simple rules. They apply equally in Moscow, Dubai and Rome.
