I'm struggling to write a review that's good enough for this villa and the wonderful host, Giulio. We came here for my mum's 60th birthday and had the most unforgettable experience. We were a party of 18, from the ages of 20 to 70, and the villa blew everyone away. It's so unique in its design - while it's rustic it's also super chic and clean. The location couldn't be better - 25 mins drive into the centre of Rome and to FCO airport but if you can, fly into CIA which is only a 10 min drive (this originally worried me being so close to the airport, but you don't notice the planes at all and the villa is set well amongst the beautiful green fields, so you feel totally removed from city life but with the perks of still being so close).
In the months leading up to it, as well as during our stay, Giulio was always there, happy to help with every last detail always with the most welcoming smile - from booking a table for us at a lovely local restaurant, to arranging cabs to take people to different places, everything was so smooth, it was like we had our own event planner. I would highly recommend the dinner with private chef at the villa - it was incredibly fresh and delicious. Also we had lunch at the local vineyard (as recommended and arranged by Giulio) and it was stunning - set in colourful flower and vegetable gardens. If anything though, I'd say don't plan to do too much as it's so lovely just hanging out in the villa or chilling by the pool.
If you have any doubts in your mind, throw them away - this place is exactly what the pictures and all of the other reviews say...And so much more! Thank you Giulio and all of your team!
