This apartment is near Rome enough with very easy transportation to go and explore all the sights of the city, yet far away enough to feel like you're living in a shire / country lord's castle. Not bad for a 30 minute commute. Which is exactly what this place is, it's tucked into its own little piece of beautiful estate. Upon entering the Duca Castle where the chalet is located, you are greeted by an umbrella pine lined drive way that is both grand and magical. We loved the marble bathroom's tub as well. Fabio is a great host, although we didn't get to meet him he was the invisible helper who always responded within minutes. Highly recommend.
