Nous sommes une famille avec 2 adolescents. Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour (10 jours) dans la villa d'Alessandro qui nous a accueillis et a su répondre à nos demandes... La Villa est située en lisière d'un village de moyenne montagne à 40 mn de Rome. Elle est très joliment aménagée et fonctionnelle (cuisine équipée, grand salon avec cheminée, 2 grandes chambres (literies excellentes) + ventilateurs + Mezzanine et deux salles de bain). Tout cela, donne sur le jardin et la jolie piscine... La maison se trouve dans une belle propriété fermée et sécurisée. La vue sur la campagne environnante est exceptionnelle et magnifique !! Notre séjour s'est alterné entre les visites à Rome et les visites des villages historiques en proximité (Filacciano, Stimigliano, Nazzano, Sant Orreste...). Nous avons découvert deux restaurants de très bonne qualité en proximité (Natural smile à 500 mètres et l'Agriturismo Monterone à Ponzano dont la propriétaire parle français: (URL HIDDEN) ainsi qu'une Pizzéria à Stimigliano: le Ros Marino). Enfin, Alessandro vous indiquera le très bon restaurant de son frère à Rome (le Bubi's). Pour conclure, la Villa Piana est une excellente adresse pour profiter d'un cadre paisible en famille tout en découvrant Rome situé à moins de 40 mn en voiture... Nous y reviendrons !

Great house, very stylish designed interiour with all you could need. We had a great week.

We stayed in Villa Piana for 10 days. Alessandro received us at the exit of the highway, and brought us to the house. Our expectations were high but we were even surprised in a positive way. Very nice house, a lot of space, comfortable, high level of quality materials. Bedrooms (3) are cosy and the bathrooms (2) are king size (rain shower, huge washbasin, ... ) All rooms have direct access to the garden (from the bed in the pool !) . Kitchen is furnished with all brand new material (even a wine fridge) and Alessandro let us an extensive survival pack so that we had a good start the first morning. We want to mention especially the lighting : very original and tasteful. Outside : enormous terrace and dito table , nice (little) pool, enough furniture but most of all : what a splendid view !! Green , nature, hills, and of course Monte Soratte. Other nice point : you can park your car in the shadow of an elderberry. We needed the shadow in this period, because it was one of the hottest weeks in years in Italy. There is no airconditioning but the fans were strong and did their job in a very effective way. We slept well . Neighbourhood : this is a not a touristic part of Italy, so it is quiet, and you don't find immediately a supermarket, or a restaurant. (an advice : at less than one km you find Natural Smile, a very nice restaurant !) Visits : Rome, Viterbo and Narni can be reached by car in less than one hour. But you must visit certainly the very old historic , medieval small villages that surround Ponzano (Filacciano, Stimigliano, Nazzano, Sant Orreste, ... ) . Very authentic . Alessandro is a good host : discrete but always helpful. Conclusion : very nice place to stay, high standard house in a beautiful surrounding in the hart of Italy(URL HIDDEN)

Good service,very beautiful house,beautiful natural images.we liked!

Delightful authentic Italian house! The house is very big, bright and beautiful. There are many rooms, and it has everything you need. Amazing views of the valley of the Tiber River, the city of Nazzano, of the mountains. This is a magical place! Anna helped us in all of our questions, has always been available. Anna met us with tasty gifts! Thank you so much! I will certainly come again!

Thanks Paola, we had a fantastic stay, with family joining us from the UK and Australia -the house was great, comfortable, good terrace and kitchen, views over the valley, short walk into the village. Paola was a lovely host, there to welcome us and show us how everything worked. The Sabine Hills are really interesting, with beautiful hill towns, restaurants etc but next to no tourists, only an hour from Rome. The railway station is only 5 mins drive too, so picking up others coming separately very simple. We all had a ball, and a really memorable time...

At the arrival the welcoming was warm and hospitable. Unfortunately the first evening we have a short thunderstorm so we couldn't enjoy the amazing outdoor terrace with an amazing view. Happily we were comforted with an amazing double rainbow at the end of the thunderstorm. The cottage was space full and well equipped with a lovely view over the valley and a beautiful spacious garden with fine chairs and enough shadow from the threes. Many, many birds were singing in the springtime. The kitchen was fine and more than complete. One note: the Italian electric network is not a high capacity network so you have take care that you use 1 high capacity device at the time. We use the dishwasher and the oven at the same time and that was to much. The main fuse was out but host solved the problem very quick and accurate. We have visit Rome during our stay of 6 days 3 times. It was easy to take the train from Poggio Mirteta ( 5 minutes drive from the cottage) it was a 50 minutes drive to Rome. You can easily buy your tickets by the tabac store near the station ( don't miss the amazing capucinno here for only 1 Euro) . It was a very special place and when we visit the surrounding of Rome again we will definitely will come back to this amazing place.

After the initial problems with the villa’s faulty plumbing were resolved 4 days into our stay, we had a wonderful time. The house is rustic and the kitchen is sparsely equipped, but the villa is spacious and set in lovely, well kept grounds. The outside eating and relaxing area, and the swimming pool were very good. The location was ideal- a 10 minute walk to local shops and village centre bars, and within short driving distance of a large supermarket and many good restaurants. The village is in a wonderful area with many places to visit, and Rome was within easy reach via road or rail. We were well looked after by the very helpful cleaner Angela and her handyman husband Florin

Nice house spacious and clean

The villa has a beautiful pool which is very clean. It's not really suitable for young children as there is an edge which could be dangerous but perfect for older children and adults. The area is very quiet so you definitely need a car to get around. This is a lovely villa but you will need your phrasebook as it is very remote. Easy to get to Rome by train though!

This is a completely gorgeous villa which is exactly as beautiful as it looks in the photos. The pool and scenery are wonderful and the inside of the villa is also lovely - spacious and rustic with all the facilities you need. The location was exactly what we wanted - lovely and quiet - so you'll need a car to make the most of the local area. Anna was a great host who made our arrival and stay easy. We had a brilliant time and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others!

Sehr empfehlenswert! Schönes Haus und Pool und schöne Restaurants in der Nähe!

Es ist ein tolles Haus, der Pool ist groß und super gut, Anna ist eine wunderbare Gastgeberin, sie hat fast sofort auf unsere Fragen geantwortet. Alles hat gearbeitet Das Haus ist in der Natur besser als in den Bildern. Stimigliano ist leicht zu erreichen und die Leute sind sehr freundlich. Nicht viel Touristen, nett. Sehr schöner Ort, um mit der Familie zu entspannen. Ein Auto ist ein Muss. In der Nähe von Rom, wo man mit dem Zug fahren kann.

beautiful house decorated with taste. Children have much enjoyed the pool. The situation of the house allows to get to Rome in just under an hour. This house is ideal for combining cultural visits to Rome and lazy days at the pool.

The place is really clean, and the view is great. Yet we were sold an entire villa, but it was only a part of the villa. The owners are very nice but they live underneath, they respected our privacy but it's not indenpent. Furthermore we pay to rent the whole part of the villa composed of four appartement 6 bedrooms and 5 bathroom. We only have accessed to four bedrooms and 3 bathrooms wich represent 3 apartments when it should have been 4. Never have accessed to it. On our last night someone have settled above us, which bothered us as we were supposed to have access to this whole part of the villa. When we ask for a discount because didn't have access to what was shown (pictures) never got a response after... Anyway the owners are nice, but don't except a villa it's just appartements . If you're agreed with it and been warned before (we didn't) it's a nice play to stay.

Le Ville sono bellissime. Ben dotato di tutto ciò di cui avrebbe bisogno. La zona piscina è fantastica e sempre pulita. Gli ospiti Luca e Antonella sono due delle persone più belle che potreste mai incontrare e hanno contribuito a rendere il nostro soggiorno spettacolare. Torte Antonellas sono wow. La posizione è eccezionale con Roma vicino e il villaggio idillico se Sant'Oreste chiudere pure. Il mio consiglio è quello di andare a Roma per Montebello e prendere il treno diretto a Roma. 1,50 Euro parcheggio tutto il giorno e il biglietto del treno copre tutti i mezzi pubblici per 24 ore per 7 euro. Tutto sommato la settimana più incredibile nel posto più incredibile. Lo farà di nuovo in un battito cardiaco.

A beautiful villa, very clean with all amenities. Pool and garden very well cared for. Wonderful views. Paulo and his family made us very welcome with water, wine and homemade jam and a fruit tart when we arrived. The cool air system was very good and kept the house cool and pleasant. All the bathrooms were very clean with great showers & plenty of hot water. The kitchens were great and the lounges very comfortable. We were a family of 10, ranging from aged 85 to 13 and everyone was accommodated easily. The large outdoor eating area was perfect for all our meals, and very convenient next to the kitchen. The pool was lovely - quite steep steps down, so not accessible to those with walking dificulties. Lights around and in the pool made evening swimming a delight. You need a car as the villa is quite remote (we loved that it was) and we didn't see any neighbours - only 4 very friendly dogs who adopted us for the week! There are some fabulous restaurants close by and the supermarket is only 10 minutes by car and has everything you need 7 days a week. We had a truly great holiday and would highly recommend this villa. Thank you, Paulo.

Paolo is a great host. He explained everything at the house (including the way to get the pool to work) and was nice enough to show us two different supermarkets and a few stores. Good recommandations! His house is really great. We wish we would have got more time and stay a little longer. It's really ideal: not far from Rome and in the middle of nowhere, so quiet. We'll be back next year hopefully for Easter and this time for a week! :)

Me and a group of friends booked Paolos villa to celebrate our upcoming birthdays. We wanted to have a calm private holiday and this villa turned out to be the place of our dreams. Our expectations were high from the description and pictures and not in any way were we disappointed. Paolo and Lucia are very helpful and were always available for questions and help which was much appreciated by us. The villa is clean with all basic equipment provided in bathrooms and kitchen. Down by the pool (also clean) there are sun beds and parasols and the view is beautiful overlooking the small valley. Countrygirls as we all are we also appreciated spending time in the garden and going down to see the horses and goats. A recommendation is to go there by car. From the beginning we had not decided wether to rent a car or not but are glad that we did. The grocery shopping and sightseeing in the village had been a days work if we didn't. It is not far to the store, but driving is way more convenient. The location is private and perfect for a group of friends or families searching for quality time together as there is almost no disturbance in terms of traffic and neighbours (occasionally we heard the neighbour driving past on the road above). During our last dinner at the villa we all agreed upon this being one of the best holidays we've ever had! We got exactly what we were looking for and all our expectations were met. Regards, Evelina

We were a group of five couple spend one week in Paolo Villa it is fantastic relaxing a great place to spend a week overlooking a small valley, an Unforgettable trip.

Paolo and Lucia were very welcoming and made us feel totally at home at the villa. We had a wonderful weekend - house and pool are even more beautiful than they look in the pictures and the villa offers all comfort you could wish for with stunning views over the surrounding valley. We couldn't have asked for more, if only we had been able to stay a little longer. Thank you so much!

Vaste et belle maison, la piscine et la terrasse bénéficient d'une vue champêtre très appréciable sur les collines environnantes. En bonus, ambiance "petite (grande) maison dans la prairie" pour les urbains avec les 2 chevaux en contrebas, le potager, la table ronde sous l'arbre et les chiens des voisins qui viennent dirent bonjour. Nous recommendons vivement ce bel endroit !

Temos estado em casa para o Ano Novo. Nós 3 famílias totalizando 12 pessoas .... a casa é enorme perfeito para acomodar todos. Uma cozinha bem equipada. Nada está faltando talvez apenas um pouco o número de toalhas e um pouco mais atenção à limpeza. excelente de qualquer maneira

Villa come da descrizione, dal vivo ancora più bella. Stanze spaziose. Il proprietario disponibilissimo. Sicuramente da riandarci ma in estate per poter utilizzare la piscina privata.

Really beautiful and cosy house. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and it was the perfect house for our purpose. Alessandro was super responsive to all messages. He was not there during our stay, but appointed Antonio as contact person who lives next door. Antonio was also super helpful and fixed some things such as lose door handles etc immediately. Overall a fantastic stay, we will come back next year.

Maison spacieuse, correcte à la campagne dans un cadre très calme, assez retirée des sites touristiques. Piscine et jardin agréables.Attention toutefois au fonctionnement de certains équipements ( électricité et eau chaude) et à la propreté dans la maison. Nous n 'avons pas eu l occasion de rencontrer directement le propriétaire mais avons été bien accueilli par des membres de sa famille qui ne parlaient pas dutout l'anglais donc pas toujours évident de se comprendre. Notre séjour s est bien passé malgré quelques soucis de communication...

Io e un gruppo di 8 amici abbiamo soggiornato in questa casa per il periodo di capodanno..purtroppo anche la sfortuna ci ha fatto compagnia..ed il primo giorno si è rotta irrimediabilmente la caldaia, così siamo rimasti senza riscaldamenti e senza acqua calda per tutti i 4 giorni della nostra vacanza. Devo dire che la proprietaria di casa ha fatto tutto ciò che le era possibile per venirci in soccorso procurandoci stufette per le stanze e scalda materassi.. i due bellissimi camini della casa hanno fatto il resto, scaldando tutta la zona giorno. Nonostante questo, devo dire che è stato davvero un piacevole soggiorno in un alloggio spazioso, finemente arredato, riservato e piacevolmente immerso nella natura. Speriamo di tornarci in condizioni più fortunate..magari in estate per poter sfruttare la piscina.

In de aanloop naar de vakantie heeft de verhuurder onze vragen snel en accuraat beantwoord. De ontvangst was hartelijk. Het huis was royaal en goed voorzien. Onze zoon was blij verrast een playstation, voetbaltafel en handboog aan te treffen. Het zwembad was groot (ca. 14 x 7 meter). De woning was goed uitgerust. De keuken was voorzien van een grote koelkast, oven en fornuis. Het uitzicht was fantastisch mooi op Mt. Soratte. Rome is met 45 minuten te bereiken (parkeer de auto bij metro Rebibbia). Wij hebben een geweldig leuke tijd gehad!

It is a lovely villa in the Lazio countryside with lots of space and a fabulous pool. The hosts were very welcoming and gave us lots of information. We were there in August during a heatwave when it was too hot and lots of mosquitos. There were no mosquito guards on the windows or any means of cooling the house.

Abbiamo trascorso tre giorni di pace e relax presso la casa di Edoardo, il posto è incantevole così come da fotografia e la casa è accogliente e spaziosa, ha tutti i comfort, abbiamo trovato playstation, carte per giocare, tutto quello che serve per cucinare, addirittura la lavastoviglie ( che però non abbiamo usato) e in generale tutti gli elettrodomestici sono nuovi.Unico neo le piscine, sulle quali avevamo contato scegliendo questa vacanza come alternativa alla classica vacanza al mare, dovrebbero avere un po' più di manutenzione perchè un po' più pulite avrebbero reso il nostro soggiorno assolutamente indimenticabile.

Mit einer Gruppe von Freunden verbrachten wir eine Woche in der Villa von Edward entspannen. Im Haupthaus gibt es alle Annehmlichkeiten und für den Frieden des Geistes benötigt Geräte. Wir waren in der Lage hervorragend in der Gesellschaft in den Abendstunden vom Grill zu genießen und wir am Pool während des Tages entspannen können. Auch einen guten Empfang von Edwards Familie bei der Ankunft, die uns im Haus alles zeigte, die für unseren Aufenthalt.

Casa molto bella, grande e accogliente. Adatta per famiglie con bambini, utilizzabile d'inverno come d'estate. Bellissima vista. The house is big and cozy. Ideal for families with kids, to be used during summer as well as winter. Wonderful view. La casa es muy bonita, grande y acogedora. Ideal para familias con niños tanto en invierno como en verano.
