The Gatehouse provides a peaceful oasis away from the chaos of Rome but really close to the colosseum, Forum, and Appia way. From the Colosseum it is a beautiful stroll into the centre of Rome itself and the heart of all the action.
My son really got into the electronic scooters, which are everywhere, if walking is not your thing!
The house is packed with character, and extremely spacious with a wonderful garden, that makes you feel as if you are stepping back in time. It was beautifully clean and the kitchen well equipped, so suited us down to the ground.
This is a treasure of a find if you want to immerse yourself in space and history. We loved every second of our stay, and the house probably had the grandest entrance and garden of anywhere we have ever booked. It is not for those who like the very modern though, so don't choose it if modernity and flash electronic TVs and equipment are what you need. If 8 foot tall wardrobes, ornate chairs and clocks and the largest wine rack you have ever seen in your life, fit the bill, then it's for you!!
