Choose Rome for your team retreat and discover the heritage of a once almighty empire. This city's ancient streets and hot summer climate provide the perfect environment for your team to form deep connections.
This iconic city, once home to an ancient and tryanical republic, teaches many lessons, not least the power of a unity and a shared vision.
Rome is the most popular tourist destination in Italy. Roughly 10 million visitors descend upon the capital every year to marvel at ancient landmarks such as The Colosseum, Pantheon and Saint Peter's Basilica. But there's more to do here than marvel at man-made wonders.
As a contemporary cosmopolitan city, Rome offers a vast range of team-building activities like cooking workshops, wine tasting, outdoor paintball and much more.

We've put together a list of
team-building activities for company retreats in
Rome
, including options that work well for both small and large teams.
Centered around Trastevere, historic piazzas, and shared food experiences, this Rome retreat agenda leans into social moments, group activities, and lively evenings across the city.
Rome is ideal for teams that want a setting rich in history, atmosphere, and culture. A company retreat in Rome naturally blends work sessions with iconic surroundings, where even simple activities like group dinners or walks feel more memorable.
Most teams arrive via Leonardo da Vinci Airport (FCO), located about 30 minutes from the city center by train or taxi. The Leonardo Express train connects directly to Termini Station, making arrivals relatively smooth.
Spring and early autumn tend to offer the most comfortable conditions, with temperatures typically around 18–28°C. Summer can be very hot, while winter remains mild and works well for less crowded, city-focused retreats.
The historic center is convenient for first-time visits, Trastevere offers a more local and social atmosphere, Prati is quieter and well-organized, and Monti combines central location with a creative, relaxed feel.
What sets Rome apart is how deeply integrated its history is into everyday life. Teams are constantly surrounded by landmarks, which creates a more immersive and distinctive experience compared to more modern cities.
Popular options include Italian cooking classes, pasta-making workshops, guided tours of historic sites, Vespa tours, and wine tastings. These activities work well for creating shared experiences in a relaxed setting.
A three-day structure often works well in Rome, giving enough time for focused sessions, a couple of cultural activities, and shared meals without making the agenda feel too packed.
Costs in Rome can vary depending on the area and season. While central accommodation can be higher priced, food and local experiences are often more affordable than in other major European capitals.
Within about 1 hour, teams can visit Tivoli for villas and gardens, or head to Ostia for a coastal setting. These options offer a quick change of environment without adding complex logistics.
Food is a central part of any Rome retreat. Teams can enjoy traditional Roman dishes like pasta carbonara or cacio e pepe, along with group dinners in trattorias, food tours, and casual local dining experiences.
It was amazing. I mean, the team was just absolutely over the top, thrilled. Everything was fantastic.
As we wrap up our first-ever company offsite in Portugal, I feel so grateful for the incredible experience we've shared as a team. This past week has been nothing short of amazing, filled with enriching and productive sessions, workshops, and memorable moments.
It was a massive success, the team loved every part of it and all of the restaurants, activities, transfer, etc. that you organised were excellent. I will certainly be contacting Surf Office again for anything I plan in the future.
We had a great retreat! So far all individual feedback that came back through a survey we sent out to the team, was super positive! Everyone really enjoyed it!
We loved it! Our management had very specific requirements for a retreat location... remote and in nature but with room for interaction. The venue and every aspect of this retreat matched that. We loved it so much that we even consider repeating the venue.
Everyone has commented on how well the retreat went, and we really do appreciate everything that you did to make it go so smoothly.
It was amazing. The whole team enjoyed everything. The hospitality, the area, the apartments, the sea view, the hotel staff, the old town. It was perfect, it was our best offsite.
Everything was amazing. So I have only good things to say. Team loved it. Again, I was very congratulated. They were very happy. Everything was on spot.
We have organized company retreats for our distributed 30 people team multiple times with Surf Office and the team has loved it every time. Surf Office has some great venues as part of their portfolio and do a great job helping to facilitate pretty much everything from accommodation, food, activities, airport transfers etc.
The most popular team building activities are surf lessons, SUP lessons and tapas night but there are plenty more to choose from.
