We stayed at Lucias villa.
Everything was as described. A wonderful villa with wonderful garden and patio area.
Lucia always kept in touch so we felt at ease if we needed anything.
The villa is down a country drive and within walking distance to a wonderful swimming pool and tennis club. The food too was very good.
But other than that there was nothing really within walking distance in the very hot summer sun. The nearest train station was around 20 minutes walk and the train to get to the underground stations took around 30 minutes.
So to get to centre of the city you are looking at approx 50 minutes.
We had a car which was necessary as the ammenities and supermarkets of la storta are approx 35 minutes walk.
Beware of the mad driving in Rome and around the area. It's not for the faint hearted. I'm an experienced driver and I was shocked at the lack of respect on the roads.
So in summary wonderful villa wonderful host. Just a little too far out of Rome if the centre is your main focus.
