Home description
We offer a comfortable, tasty and simple accommodation. Our villa is placed on top of a hill, from your windows you can enjoy the Lepini mountains on the east, the mount Artemisio on the north, the Circeo promontory on the south and vineyards and olive groves all around you.
This area is still very authentic and “off the beaten track”, Rome is only 40 km on the train, so you can spend a day visiting and come back to enjoy a dip on the pool and an authentic regional dinner that I would be happy to cook for you.
Guests are free to use the garden, which offers plenty of shady spots, sun-loungers and a swimming pool. There are also garden games for the kids and a table football.

The Lazio region
Velletri area
Rome can be reached by a train that takes you right in the centre (Termini station), in 55 minutes. The ticket costs only 6 Euros return and it includes any journey on the roman public metro and buses. If you don't want to rent a car and you are staying for a quick visit, I would be happy to provide pick up to and from the local station, as well as from the airport.
If you decide to hire a car, you can easily reach the prettiest beaches of the southern Lazio: Anzio and Nettuno are at 20 km, and you can venture a little further south to Sabaudia, Terracina and Sperlonga.
Naples and Pompeii are an easy daily trip, as well as Villa d'Este in Tivoli.
You can take pleasant, easy walks on the Mount Artemisio or drive 10 km and do a serious hyke on the Lepini mountains, I would be happy to take you or give you maps and directions.
You can spend a day in the numerous hill top villages unspoiled by tourism, such as Cori, with its Apollo Temple and Cyclopean walls dating back pre-roman times, you can drive up the breathtaking mountain road to Rocca Massima, or you can visit the medieval town of Sermoneta with its imposing castle and eat genuine food at the local restaurants at still very reasonable prices.
If you are interested in World War II you can reach in 20 minutes the British and American cemeteries and museums at Anzio and Nettuno, the museum of Piana delle Orme near Latina and Montecassino can be reached in one hour.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like more precise information on particular places you would like to visit, I would be happy to help you to make the most of your stay with us.

Guestbook
Neil and family from Angus wrote: We spent a wonderful week there in July 2004. It's a great place for family/friends get-together. The pool is fantastic, and the grounds are spacious, with various fruit trees, allowing for a `quiet` moment, if required. It is bordered all round by vineyards.The town of Velletri is nearby(10 mins.by bus) and is good for dining,shopping,market. By day, we all did our own thing, and in the evening, dined al-fresco by the pool discussing past times/forward times.Paula provides a fantastic 4-course meal, with local wine flowing, all at very reasonable cost. Rome is only 1hr. away by local train, and various day-trips can be done by bus from Velletri. I would love to return sometime. It is well recommended.
Thanks for being such perfect hosts, in a wonderful setting. Paola's recommendations were excellent (try Zampi in Cori) all adding up to a week of lovely rest and relaxation - with a bit or Rome sightseeing to keep us on our toes. Coming back to the pool was perfection!
Thank you for a lovely stay. Villa very well equipped and located. Pool great. Our 4 years old didn't want to go home. Recommend train trip to Rome. Free parking at station and very cheap tickets. Try the open top bus tour.
What a fabulous week in Italy! We have seen so much, done so much and yet feel very relaxed and contented. We take away with us great memories of the wonderful sights we've seen and of the lovely new friends we've made - Paola, Paul, Olivia, Kitty and Duncan - we look forward to the next time we meet.
