Home description
An unforgettable experience in the mild climate of this historic town and area, only twenty minutes from great beaches, and a half hour train ride from Rome, awaits you. The owners, who formerly owned an acclaimed Chateau-hotel in France, have brought with them a certain flare and experience as well as fine French antiques.
A home in a hilltop town with its own pool and garden is a rare and special treat and this house dates back to 12th century, but is now fully modernized. It is spacious and elegant, and has a living room/dining room, a fully-equipped kitchen, and two bedrooms, each with modern baths. Bedrooms offer Peignoirs and fine soaps. Its shady garden is deliciously scented by the blossoms of ancient orange and lemon trees. Enjoy cooking Italian style in the garden’s own pizza oven and outdoor grill, then settle in and enjoy your meal at the stone outdoor table. Sun bathing, swimming, or lying in the hammock , are also recommended!

The Lazio region
Sermoneta sits atop a foothill of the Lepino Mountain Range parallel to the ancient Pontine marshes, and with views of the glorious Mediterranean sea, a short drive away. A half hour’s train ride from Rome, or an hour and a half by car along the ancient Appian Way; a trip to Sermoneta is a pleasure in itself. Great beaches and beach resorts only 20 minutes away are an added bonus.
The town has changed little since its medieval conception, and the enormous fortress of Caetani Castle looms over and dominants the town and the valley below. The castle is now run by the Roffredo Caetani Foundation, which was created by Lelia Caetani in honour of her illustrious family. Today, the castle hosts courses, seminars, and prestigious concerts. In July, there are concerts in the castle by well-known contemporary musicians and orchestras.
Open air restaurants and bars make for easy summer living. Winters in cosy interiors are an equal delight.
