Laura's place is unique. Just off the famous Appian Way and only 40 minutes from the historical centre of Rome, it is a haven of green space, fruit trees, rustic gazebos with all the chairs and tables you need for an Al Fresco holiday, complete with a swimming pool. The small villas are rustic in nature, but charming with well equipped kitchens and lots of hot water in the bathrooms, while the sleeping arrangements are perfectly adequate. Our master bedroom was all that we needed, while the children slept in the sun-room in comfy bunk beds, which was quite a treat. If you don't like animals don't come here. There are chickens, producing fresh eggs for breakfast, pet rabbits - at the last count around 17, a duck, a goose and Priscilla the goat. All are much loved by Laura and her husband and very much part of the family. We were there with our children and our grandchildren and couldn't have enjoyed ourselves more.
