Wonderful relaxing stay in the Lazio countryside
Lovely villa with private pool and large garden, less than an hour from Rome Ciampino and a great place for a relaxing chillout break from the UK. Well maintained and everything worked as it should do (though very few if any English speaking TV Channels, which was great to escape the news).
We made plenty of use of the pool on the days we didnt go exploring but there is plenty to see with Rome historic centre, Castello Gandolfo and Nemi all under an hour in the inland direction.
Beaches within about 10 mins (you can hear the waves depending on the wind direction) ,and a short drive along the coast to the nearest resorts of Nettuno and Anzio and St Felice and Terracina the other direction.
As they live in the main part of the house Massimo, Barbara and Alicia were about in the evenings and mornings and gave us a welcome pack on arrival plus fresh tomatoes, peppers and aubergenes direct from his farm. A well stocked local supermarket directly across the road was super convenient and there was a bar about 100m away, which we didnt sample as we just chilled outside the villa instead.
We ended the week with a family dinner with our hosts which was delicious, and a lovely end to our week away.
Highly recommended for a relaxing break though a car is needed, plus keep a few euros for the seaside resort parking meters :-)
