The house is located in the luxury residential area of San Celso just 2 Km away from the Castle.
HISTORY OF THE CASTLE - The first part of the Castle is dating back to the 12th century, when it belonged to the prefect of Vico. After the year 1370 it was acquired by the city of Rome, and in the year 1419 the Pope donated it to the noble and powerful Orsini family, who started the enlargement and the trapezoidal shaping and 6 towers of the castle. Today it represents one of the last great castle for archers in Europe.
Famous personalities, such as Pope Sisto V in 1478, Francesco della Rovere, and during Christmas 1494, king Charles VII of France were hosted in the Castle. Following clashes with the Church and financial difficulties, the Orsini family lost the Castle. After some time and with diplomacy they gained back the favor of the Pope and regained the property of the Castle. Paolo Giordano was nominated Duke of Bracciano, and his successor Paolo Giordano II, successor of the Duke, started the development of Bracciano by building an aqueduct to convey water from Manziana hills.
Losing power, the Orsini Family made an auction to sell the Castle in the year 1695, which was bought by the Odescalchi family, who till today own this magnificent property.
Odescalchi Castle is generally renting some of the large saloons in order to arrange conventions and cerimonies: the saloon of the well, 216 sq.m and 240 seats; I granai, 312 sq.m and 500 seats; one of the tower and the large frontal garden. But for the wedding of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, the Castle has been entirely rented. It is open for visitors all days except on Mondays.

Thank you Ingrid & Gioacchino for a lovely and relaxing holiday! You have been perfect hosts!! The apartment is superb and I have enjoyed my daily swim very much. I would recommend the apartment to anyone who wants to de-stress in quiet environment, but its location so very close to Rome means you can also take in the delights of the eternal city, Viterbo and coastal resorts. Kind regards

Dear Ingrid & Gioacchino
Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality. The villa accommodation is superb, and the view memorable. Your direction made the villa easy to find, which meant a relevant start to our holiday relaxation , which continued throughout our stay. The pleasure of being by the pool, made it difficult to leave and go sightseeing. Once again thank you for being the perfect hosts, and I am sure we will be back.
Ciao

Dear Ingrid & Gioacchino, We have really enjoyed our stay in Bracciano. You have been a great help to us and it was appreciated very much.
The apartment is spacious, modern and well equipped. The pool, Sky tv and broadband all helped to keep us entertained while we were here. This is a great base for exploring Italy, and its so easy to get to Rome and the other towns around the lake. You have a lovely home and a beautiful views. We shall miss it.
Best wishes
