This was a 10 out of 10 peaceful stay! Home and grounds are beautiful. We stayed with 3 kids aged 10, 8 and 4. There is a fully equipped kitchen, 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. There is a living area to lounge and relax. The property has an amazing amount of books and there are puzzles too. The TVs weren’t on once. We loved the attention to detail such as products left in the bathrooms which were an additional help to what we brought as well as hairdryers, towels etc. Outside was brilliant for us and to be honest there really was no need to go elsewhere to entertain the kids. There was a climbing frame castle for the big kids and a little pirate ship for toddler aged guests. The gardens are huge and there was an area to relax under a tree with a swing, beautiful garden chairs and a hammock. There is also a table tennis table in an enclosed area which helped to keep the mosquitoes out. There was a badminton set, swing ball game and frisbees. The star of the show was the pool. Our kids were never out of it. It is well fenced off with a gate to keep little ones safe. There are sunbeds beside the pool as well as chairs and a parasol. In the pool shed there was a fantastic selection of inflatables, water guns and pool noodles to use. As the house is in the countryside you do need a car. Giovanna was amazing and even took us into the local town and recommended places to buy food and to eat out which was so kind. She was a brilliant host and we really appreciated her help and kindness!

Excellent size of apartment. Really lovely location but you definitely need a car to get around. You can't walk into town from the property due to wild boar and wolves. Pool was definitely a big hit with everybody and Giovanna was an excellent host wirh many recommendations for eating out and places to visit. The only negative was quite regular power cuts which also affected the water supply! Not great in 38 degree heat!

Tucked in the countryside, a short ride to Rome and beautiful villages on a lake, this quiet gem surrounded by luxurious nature allowed us to relax a couple of days after visiting Rome and experience the authenticity, beauty and historic wealth of this area and its people. The hosts are of extraordinary kindness, helpful in any way and discreet. Thank you for the wonderful experience we had as a family!

We loved staying here so much. Giovanna was incredibly communicative and made sure we had everything we needed. The pool was truly the highlight of the house and we were in it all day. She had lots of outdoor activities set up for us to keep us occupied which we all appreciated. The house itself was gorgeous and we were truly astonished by the beauty. The house is about 30 minutes walking away from the village which means a car is DEFINITELY needed. We didn't have time to get an international drivers license which means we couldn't rent a car so Giovanna's housekeeper, Pietro, drove us to the village about once a day. This gesture truly meant so much to us and seeing the beautiful village was so great. Overall, this home was perfect for all of us and we have absolutely no complaints. Thank you for everything!

We as a family of 6 had a lovely quiet time in the fantastic house from Giovanna. The house is very big with 3 bedrooms and Giovanne is just a perfect host. Always available when you need it but only if you want it. The pool and the garden are really great. Everything is seperated from the part that Giovanna is using. We spend many days at the pool as the weather was insanely hot in August with nearly no rain. Nevertheless its easy to start sightseeing in the area around the house and especially in Rome. Giovanna had tons of helpful tips regarding what to see, where to go (Sightseeing, Grocery Shopping, restaurants, parking garages in Rome). We can absolutely recommened a stay at Giovannas house.

A very pleasant stay in a nice house. The pool is perfect. Giovanna and her son are very kind and always present for the renters. Thank you !

CAMPAGNANO REVIEW We had the best stay in Campagnano! It was the perfect place for us as we wanted to escape the summer heat in the city without being too far away from Rome, and having exclusive use of the pool was wonderful with a toddler. The house also has a lovely big garden where Giovanna let us pick her tomatoes and beans, and there are bushes of sage and rosemary everywhere. The apartment had everything we needed, and mosquito nets meant we could keep windows open at night (no aircon but it was fine, even in August). The pool was heaven - big enough to swim, shady spots to read/sleep under the trees, and a convenient little shed to leave towels and toys. You can occasionally hear the cars from the race track nearby at Vallelunga, but for the most part the loudest noise comes from the crickets! You definitely need a car to stay here though as shops etc are all driving distance. The area is lovely and well worth exploring (Sutri, Nepi, Trevignano, Anguillara, Viterbo…).

Excellent property for family of 2 parents and teenage kids near enough to Rome for easy day trip and lots to do in surrounding area Pool was fabulous

Our family of 4 came to stay for a week in the middle of August 2016. Our eldest daughter likes her space and had thought she would sleep alone in the 3rd bedroom, but once she saw the 'attic' twin room, she changed her mind! It's such a lovely room, accessed via a spiral staircase, with windows all around and a toilet and bath on the same floor. The whole apartment is lovely and has it's own entrance at the rear of the house. There is a lovely patio which we sat out at for breakfast. Great for lizard watching! There is no air conditioning inside but the ceiling fans are more than adequate and there are shutters or curtains on the windows to keep out the sun if necessary. The apartment is very clean, comfortably furnished and there is a TV and tonnes of books in every room in English and Italian. Our hosts, Giovanna and Christiano, both showed us around on arrival and left a basket full of tomatoes, peppers, aubergines, beans and parsley, all fresh from the garden. Recycling is preferred and Giovanna makes this so easy with lots of containers in the kitchen labelled with what to put in them and the day of the week for collection. We had a very relaxing time while we were not sightseeing, either reading or swimming in the pool (which is quite large and situated in the middle of the garden). We had a few trips into Rome by car which took around 30 mins and was very easy (in August when the locals are away). Giovanna was so helpful with maps and suggestions and gave us the route to the perfect car park which was close to everything! Parking can be a nightmare in Rome. We had a lovely time and enjoyed staying just outside of Rome in the countryside. We didn't explore much around the immediate area but visited the local town, Campagnano di Roma, a few times. The supermarket there is good and there are several other lovely shops in the 'old town'. We had lots of gelati at one of the cafes and a lovely meal one evening at Restaurant Albergo Benigni where the waiter was very tolerant with our lack of Italian! We would love to come back and stay again sometime to read some more books and perhaps explore more. Giovanna also mentioned that there are two top golf courses very close by which would be great to play with friends. All in all, we had a wonderful time with wonderful people and would highly recommend staying here!

Really nice and cozy place. Giovanna and Cristiano are really welcoming and tries do do everything for your comfort. The apartment/house is nice and even though it has no A/C it´s not a problem at all. Ceiling and floor fans makes the job well done. Pool is large with sunbeds, chairs and a nice tree for shade. Even got hot water in the freshwater shower beside. We travelled to Rome by car and that was really no problem. Can not figure out why all the guidebooks are so strongly against it. No queue at all. Orlando is a nightmare compared to Rome...... Staying here gives you the chance to see parts of Italy outside the turist tacks while only 30min drive from the centre of Rome. Attended a really nice village party during our stay. Pretty sure we were the only non-italian there. 3 golf courses within 15min drive. 2 of them are excellent. Olgiata GC and Golf Natzionale are fantastic. Terre dei Console ok, but suffers from what seems to be lack of money. A fantastic restaurant Il Postiglione is a mere 8 min drive away. You want get a better place to stay. Highly recommended.
