Wonderful stay! The villa is as gorgeous as the pictures, in a lovely area in Southern Rome. It was actually a welcome relief to stay outside of the centre. There is a shuttle to the nearest metro station every 30 mins and from there it's only a fairly short distance on the subway to the main places of interest in Rome. There are also some great historical sites along Via Appia Antica and some good restaurants, which are easy walking distance. We also enjoyed lovely breakfasts and dinners in the beautiful garden (the supermarket is very good and a few mins away on the shuttle). Federico and his parents were very warm hosts, and very helpful, even dropping us off at the metro on our last day. Would thoroughly recommend this as a lovely and peaceful base to explore Rome from
