Perfect for our family of four with two young children. The apartment is not large (one kitchen-diner with table, chairs and sofa/one bedroom with double and two single beds/one bathroom with shower, no bath or washing machine) and is not decorated in a particularly modern way, but this is more than made up for by the stunning grounds. There is a veranda, several gazebos for outdoor eating, four hammocks for relaxing and a good-size pool (with sun-loungers and inflatable toys), all surrounded by beautiful trees and flowers.The pool is shared, but we mostly had it to ourselves.My children loved the dogs, goat, rabbits and chickens (thanks for the fresh eggs, Laura!). The animals are all well-trained and not intrusive. The 118 bus stop is fifteen minutes walk away (buy €1.50 tickets from the newspaper stand) and the bus, (which runs every twenty minutes or so but seems to be less reliable on the return journey) is an easy and scenic 25 minute journey to the Colosseum and central Rome.Ten minutes walk from the apartment is a mostly pedestrianised section of the ancient Roman road, the Appia Antica, which is lined with ruins and catacombs and makes a wonderfully atmospheric evening walk (although remember the insect repellent, as it is very rural). Two large supermarkets are around 20 minutes walk away (be aware that the apartment has a microwave and stovetop but no oven). I would recommend Laura's apartment to anyone who wants to sightsee in Rome then return at the end of a hot day to a little piece of countryside paradise-it was hard to believe we were still so close to central Rome.
