PRESTIGIOUS VILLA, POOL AND SUPERB VIEWS OF THE ROMAN COUNTRYSIDE (ROME) (RIETI)

Great remote property - if you are looking for privacy and the perfect floor plan for spreading out the family (or two) this is it. Honestly, the pics do not do it justice; stunning views, giant pool, and perfect outdoor areas. This property gave us the vacation from the “see everything in Italy” vacation before the long journey home.

Perfect house for a big family, very comfortably, plenty of room inside and outside, nice terrasses. Fantastic pool. Beautiful landscape. Only minus is a bit far to supermarkets and restaurants, but cosy village Casaprota with a local bar and mini market close by. Very quick response to any questions we had.

With magnificent views, this property offered all the privacy we required in an unspoilt part of the Italian countryside. Despite its gorgeous, rural location, the house was within easy striking distance of Rome by car and made a great base for exploring the wonders of the Eternal City. The facilities within the house made it easy to create family meals for our party of 12, with plenty of room to congregate or find a quieter spot. It’s various terraces offered many options to gather and enjoy the sun-dappled views by day and distant lights by evening. The huge pool was a constant draw for everyone. Even in the blazing heat of high summer, the garden offered shade and the house itself was cool throughout. The local area is unspoiled by mass tourism and many restaurants close by offered an authentic taste of Lazio.

Communication with the owners was second to none from the start, they were so helpful with recommendations and directions before we arrived and Mimosa even kindly met us at the square in Casaprota to show us the way from there to the house as it’s windy and potentially easy to get lost! The house is beautiful- the pictures don’t even remotely do it justice. There are lots of different places to sit and the pool is fantastic- big and with amazing views. The house is remote, bit of a walk to the village uphill and in August it was too hot for us to do so but the house is such bliss we didn’t need to go out much. I would recommend getting a small car if hiring as the roads are narrow and windy. Unfortunately we got a puncture on the tracks near the house but the hosts were so kind in helping us sort it out. The beds are all very comfortable and bathrooms are nice but the water pressure wasn’t great especially if more than one shower was in use at the same time. The kitchen was well equipped and there is a bbq too which we used. Dog tree in the garden was a highlight! All in all a blissful stay - thank you so much!

Villa La Grisa offers a combination of tranquility, privacy and sightseeing in the beautiful heart of Lazio's countryside. The house is all yours. It is very large and pretty and offers all the required necessities, as well as a large and beautiful garden and a private pool. The owners are very friendly and helpful, as well the local house keeper who lives nearby, and can come as you need. It is also located very well for sightseeing and hiking. Rome's center as well as the surrounding theme parks and outlet stores are around one hour drive from the Villa. In addition there are multiple natural and historical sights in the vicinity. The owners have prepared a very useful list of places you can visit, among others, the pretty town of Rieti and the Marmore waterfalls and the surrounding natural lakes and villages. Both we and our children have enjoyed our vacation in this paradise on earth very much and are already waiting to return.

The house is lovely and larger than it appears on the photos. The pool is nice, large and clean and the garden beautiful. We so enjoyed picking fresh herbs and apricots and figs right from the trees in the garden. We are a large, extended family of 10 adults and 2 smaller children and there were plenty of room for all. The bathrooms and bedrooms were large and very clean and we enjoyed all the different seating areas around the property. The only downside - or tips for improvement - would be that the kitchen equipment need some additions (like a larger coffee maker, cutting boards, cups and glasses for instance) As a large family who like to cook the utensils were lacking. Also the poolside furniture would need some updating. A highlight of our week was when chef Guiseppe cooked and served up a real feast. He is highly recommended. In conclusion - an amazing week for all of us - and our hosts Mimosa and Geellee were wonderful and very accomodating both before and during our stay 3

We enjoyed a week away from it all in Villa La Grisa... the house is nice, the garden wonderful, with fantastic views over the valley and hills that make this area so beautiful. Adolfo is the gardener, he is super friendly and drops by 2 times or so during the week to clean the pool... but you have 100% privacy! We find privacy important and so are very happy with Villa La Grisa.... and then the pool... fantastic. Amid olive trees, nice pool, clean and very big, 15m x 5m. The people of Casaprota are also very friendly. Casaprota is a small hilltop town. There are no tourists, so the locals really welcome you... in the mornings, we used to go to the bar on the town square for coffee and a tramezzino sandwich or a croissant. Then we would do a small trip to some of the surrounding towns like Montenero, Farfa etc... we'd have lunch on the road or at home (good supermarket 10km away or small grocery shop and bakery in Casaprota itself. )... in the afternoons, it would get really hot and so the pool was used every day. Our 3 kids loved it ! the area is beautiful, and more authentic than Umbria and Tuscany because no tourism... we went to visit Tivoli, the Abbey in Farfa. These are closeby and fantastic. The beds are really good, slept better than at home. There are plenty of terraces, plenty of terrace chairs and good-quality seats around the house. The house has a well-equipped kitchen and a large living-room. All rooms have good airconditioning. Until next year...

We we’re two families with four adults and four children from Sweden staying at the villa for a week. All of us loved the place. Beautiful surroundings, magnificent view and a perfectly sized pool. A large kitchen which was perfect as we love to cook. Went to the beautiful village Casaprota and had gelato and also bought some superb olive oil from a neighbouring farm. Great place!

- the house is perfect: spacious, renovated, air conditioned, all comfort available - the garden is amazing and the view is spectacular. There is a great pool. Everything is well kept - the location is quite remote: no nearby supermarket or restaurants (count at least 30 ' drive) -Visit to Rome: car to nearest station (40 ' drive) + train + metro = 2h15' or drive to metro station outside centre + metro = 1 h 15 ' Summarize: the house is amazing. It is the perfect holiday place when you like driving on winding (sometimes narrow) Italian roads

What an amazing villa. We had 2 weeks as a party of 12 (9 adults and 3 children). The house is well equipped for every occasion. Gianluca and Adolfo were very attentive and responded immediately to any request. The pool has fantastic views and we thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in and around it. The villa is very accessible for Rome (about an hours drive). We spent 2 days there with an additional day at the water park. (Hydromania). We would recommend a visit there. We love Italy and this villa did not disappoint.
