Me and my boyfriend stayed at Paola's guest house in late August 2013. The guest house was very convenient and contained all the stuff you would need for a mini vacation, although the bed was a bit hard to lie on. The pool area was absolutely amazing and we loved to stay there for several hours during the day. Once you've learned the scheme for the trains, it is very easy to reach Rome. The only minus would be the walk to the train station, which is quite scary when it's dark since you have to walk on the road where the cars drive very fast. And if you are a light sleeper, we would recommend bringing earplugs, since the neighbourhood dogs are barking loudly during the night. All in all, we had a great vacation and it was a perfect mixture of a city and a relaxing pool vacation! Paola and her boyfriend Flavio were great hosts and helped us whenever we needed something. We highly recommend staying at their house!
