Rom: Ferienhaus / Villa - Roma

Sehr freundliche und zuvorkommende Vermieter. Traumhaus mit Traumpool und Traumgrundstück!!

Thoroughly enjoyed our 1 week stay at Villa Anna last week (end September). Party of 6 with one 3 year old. House was beautiful, clean, well furnished. Lots of space and stunning bathrooms - one per bedroom. Kitchen is small compared to other room sizes but fine for our party size and we made good use of the pizza oven / bbq area outside. Wifi was quite poor but then it is a very rural location so wasnt a surprise to us (travelling from a rural English location with a similar issue). Pool area and size is fantastic. It is a proper pool for swimming (which we were aware of in advance) so only area of improvement for us would have been a pool with steps or shallow area for our little boy as he found the cold water and depth too overwhelming to really use the pool - we anticipated this though so went prepared with an inflatable dinghy to use as a boat for him and double up as paddling pool! We also made 3 trips to Lake Bracchio which was warmer than the pool and such clear, still water he had a great time playing and swimming (as did we all!) We found a small beach at Anguillara Sabazia which had a kids play area and was lovely and clean. Food choices limited in September but ok for us, was only a 25 minute drive. A trip to Bracchio itself to visit the castle Orsini- Odescalchi which was amazing with stunning views over the lake then down to the water side - not quite as clean as Anguillara but more food options. 40 minute drive. We took the train from Labaro station one day into Rome and did a few sites, had lunch and spent time in Villa Borgheze park - perfect for kids. We ordered a meal from caterers via Flavia for the first night which was excellent and lasted 2 nights as so much food! Flavia was helpful through out booking and during our stay. Would definitely recommend if you are a group looking for a rural location with trips to Rome city an option. Would definitely return if we could fit it into our schedules!

Wow!! What a find! We stayed here for 2 weeks in August, 2 families, 9 people in total. The villa is great as it it has 2 upstairs, one at each end of the property with a master bedroom ensuite, so great for 2 families. The pool is the best I have experienced at any rental, great for the kids to play in and great to just swim up and down in. The garden is amazing and well tendered by Mario the gardener who is very friendly, he keeps the garden and the pool looking amazing and is in most days. If you like home cooking, look around the garden where you will find a mass of fresh Rosemary and Thyme!! Be sure to fire up the pizza oven! We did not have a clue how to use it but a simple You Tube video did the trick and the pizza’s all home made were incredible. A car is advisable but its about a 10 min drive to several different train stations where you can park all day for EUR 1.50 and take the train into Rome for EUR 1 each!! We also took high speed trains up to Florence and down to Pompeii, I would recommend both trips. Restaurants can be found in the local town of Formello (5 min drive) or venture a little further to towns like La Storta, we found a great restaurant on the last evening. Pam’s is the local supermarket, which caters for most needs, wine starts at EUR 2.49 a bottle and is really good and large bottle of Moretti Beer were 73 cents!! If you are looking for a villa in a stunning setting with great facilities, look no further, you will not be disappointed. The garden lights up in the evening all around the pool and nice to sit down by the pool with glass of vino gazing at the stars and watch in the night time wildlife come to life. Flavia who owns the property is very helpful and responsive before and during the stay and offers great advise. I really cannot fault this vila, completely recommend it and would love to go back at some point
