This place is absolutely perfect and our experience was just as described in the description. It is a beautiful place- the villa and the surrounding yard. The hosts are as helpful as they are nice. Federico's mom, Marianne, actually lives in an adjacent, smaller place and will help you with your every need as she is fluent in many languages including English. Bus stop is a few minutes away and can take you to the Metro in 10 minutes. It runs ~ every half hour, which requires some scheduling. It takes roughly a half hour to reach the city center. Many activities in the area including walking or biking the Appia Antica or relaxing at the villa. A few restaurants and a decent café are within walking distance. The Archeo Bus stops at the café and is worth the price. There is also a neat watering hole just 10 minutes walking called the Egera where you can buy all kinds of water, snacks and more importantly, wine for less than 2 euro per liter- really! Internet service is good, but there is no TV if that is important to you. Kitchen is useful with dish washer, gas oven and stove, fridge/freezer, microwave, coffee maker, etc. There is also a nice museum just next door with free admission. If you like a country setting, you will enjoy this place. It really is quite nice after a chaotic day in the city. We certainly recommend this place and would most certainly visit again.
