Very lovely & helpful hosts as mentioned by other fellow travellers. Communication was perfect & they made us feel very welcome!
Swimming pool & garden are much better than advertised. The pictures don’t do them justice. It is really the perfect way to unwind after a busy day in buzzing Rome, especially for kids!
Our little house had everything we needed & was very clean! However, the double sofa bed (sleeping adults 3&4) is of poor quality , as there is a big bump in the middle that does not suit an adult at all. The other bed is not the best either, which is a shame!
Kitchen equipment is very basic.
There are no shopping amenities locally in Colle Mattia, so if you are on foot like us, you must do your shopping in town before heading home.
Local pizzeria restaurant very nice & affordable.
Unfortunately for us, the train line (that should take us to the centre of Rome (termini station) in 20mins was out for maintenance... I guess this is August in Italy? The replacement was a combination of a 10-min walk to the bus stop (which we could not have found by ourselves if it was not for the lovely Mme Anna who welcome us on the 1st day), then bus 054 (every 30mins with a schedule slightly unclear - journey time ~10mins) + metro C from Pantano to San Giovanni (40mins) + metro A to Termini (10mins). This worked but had to be carefully planned (especially for the bus) and it took for quite a long time both in the morning & in the evening...
