About the home

We offer a comfortable, tasty and simple accommodation. You will be staying in the first floor of our villa. The house 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.

We offer a variety of comfortable and tastefully furnished accommodation including a matrimonial room with en-suite bathroom, matrimonial/double/triple rooms with shared bathroom and washroom/toilet.

If you are a small party (up to three people) you have the choice of renting only half of the apartment, (at half of the price quoted) which consists of one matrimonial bedroom with en-suite bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, living/dining room (with sofa bed) and balcony (Except during peak season - 1st June-15 September). During the low season you can also rent for less than 1 week, minimum 2 nights with breakfast upon request.

Further details outdoors:
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

The ideal destination for everybody. Beautiful weather combined with stunning surroundings make for the ideal holiday getaway!

With so much to see and do in the area you will never get bored!

The 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.

“Wonderful place to relax within easy reach of Rome” I stayed at the apartment with a group of friends for a long weekend in September. The rooms were lovely, all tastfully furnished/decorated and spacious, the kitchen had all the facilities you would need. The pool was great, and in a lovely setting. We enjoyed our stay here so much that I returned with my boyfriend for bed and breakfast a week later after traveling down to the Amalfi Coast. We spent a day in Rome which was really easy to travel to by train from Velletri. Paola's breakfasts were also delicious- we felt spoilt. Both Paola and Paul were great hosts, very helpful and easy to get on with, but not at all intrusive for owners who live on the same site as the apartment. I would highly recommend staying here either with a group of friends or as a couple.

“relaxing holiday outside rome but not far away” we spent a relaxing holiday with the family in a quiet place, outside Rome but only one hour from the city center. Paola & Paul hospitality was great anf the kids (8 and 10) had a lot of fun with the swimming pool, the trampoline and the donkeys. Paola is one of the best chef I have ever met, able to mix the traditional italian dishes with a lot creative ingredients (with some indian/asiatic influence) and with real bio products (if you can try to eat there!). The appartment is very clean and lovely furnished in a nice rustical country style

“A taste of a "different" italy” Paola and her little world in the countryside of Velletri is something you would not want to miss. The property is pretty big and well organized, from the family kitchen to the swimming pool everything seems to be a little miracle living a life of its own. Pure beauty mixed up with simplicity makes of Chez Raz a perfect staying for a couple of days or even more, for young couples with children, groups of friends of all ages and also singles who just wish for a getaway. Paola's kitchen is gorgeous, rich and healthy, in the tradition of central Italy cuisine with a taste of exotic and creative just out of the cylinder of the cook anytime. Paul's ability with huge barbecue's will blow you away, and the quality of food is astounding, very well selected and taken care of when it's not directly produced by their newborn agricultural company. Same as wine, coming from organic grapes and award winning winemakers of the area. And staying outside in the park after dinner till late in the night, by the swimming pool or at the candle light, with a great glass of wine or single malt whiskey in your hand - from Paul's wide collection, what can you expect from a true scotsman?, just enjoying their company is something that makes you wish to settle down there and don't leave anymore! Thank you Paola and Paul, and also Francis and Steve, and Olivia, Kitty, Duncan, for having had us at Chez Raz. And see you soon again of course!

“The Prefect Getaway” As usual Paola and her family made us so welcome. You relax the moment you arrive, as we arrived late on a Sunday Paola cooked us a meal which we ate with all the family. Nothing is to much trouble and you feel straight at home. A real home from home and I would thoroughly recommend it as a place to stay. A car is essential for most of getting around, but use the train for visiting Rome, it's cheap and the Station is only a 5 minute drive from Paola's.

“A small and friendly rural retreat, perfect for visiting Rome” We stayed at Paola and Paul's farm for a week during our visit to Rome. Set in the beautiful countryside around Rome, our private balcony looked out over the local vineyards. The place had a tranquil charm, due to the long driveway to the house taking us away from the main road and any direction you cared to look all you could see was countryside. The nearest town Velletri, and the train to Rome is as easy 3km away. We had our own kitchen area and dining room in what could only have been described as a large one bedroom self contained apartment. Paola and her family were friendly and very hospitable to us and we thank them for making our first vist to Rome a memorable one. A perfect country getaway. Thanks again Paola, for your wonderful hospitality and send our love to the donkeys for us....

Guestbook for Dai Raz

Neil and family from Angus wrote: We spent a wonderful week there in July. 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.
