Location: Trevignano Romano, Lake Bracciano, Latium (Lazio), Italy, Europe (Less than 1 hour to all destinations:Rome, Airport, Seacoast)
Accommodations: House, 2 Bedrooms + Detached Unit, 1.5+ Baths (Sleeps 8)
The house is on top of a hill in the middle of a big garden (12,000 square meters) overlooking a wonderful valley with an untouched landscape.The house has a private entrance with porches, terraces and orchard. You would be the only guests and the space you rent consists of a beautiful living room (with dining table, fireplace, library, armchair, sofa and sofabed) , two independent bedrooms, one bathroom near the bedrooms with shower, bidet & washing machine, a fully-equipped kitchen, veranda and two porches both with table and chairs. Only in the Summer (July-September) and under special conditions also a smaller bathroom with shower in the second semidetached veranda which is used as 3rd bedroom for groups larger then 5 adults.
We are a couple professionally involved in the arts and our house reflects it, our guests praise its comfort, especially the "best equipped kitchen", the beds, our libraries, the beautiful spaces outside and the elegant furniture inside, the cozy best Jotul Norvegian fireplace, the elegant laundry perfectly washed and ironed by our loyal cleaning lady, and every year we keep investing in something new: guests who come back are always pleasantly surprised with a novelty! In 2007 the hit was the new summer swimming pool with wood terrace. In 2008, the new top quality Emu garden furniture.
There are villages all around, but the nearest one, Bassano Romano, with all kind of shopping, 2 supermarkets open also on Sunday and pizzerias and local restaurants is only 2,7 kilometers away. You can a find larger choice at Trevignano or Sutri which are nearby.
Ideal for two to four, sleeps up to eight.
In the summer months you can swim in the new private outdoor pool with wood terrace. We also have volleyball net, a regular bocce field under a wonderful oak tree and a "tufo" stone amphitheatrethat is sometimes used for open air performances or exhibitions. Usually there is a wonderful breeze, but we have just acquired air conditioning for exceptionally hot days.
The location is highly strategic for all kinds of tourism not only for longer vacations in Summer , but also as an ideal one week rest if you are travelling around Italy by car. Overlooking Trevignano on the Lake of Bracciano in the middle of untouched nature, with history, culture, and art at easy reach. Rome is less than one hour away as well as the Mediterranean Sea, but much nearer are the lakes and the thermal springs and the beautiful Etruscan, Medieval, and Renaissance villages and Palazzos. One of the best golf course of the area of Rome is just 15'and the lakes of Bracciano, Martignano, and Vico are real jewels.
Ideal place next to Rome, Tuscany, and Umbria. We would help you to plan your excursions with a complete list with distances and suggestions, but we warn you: you might just enjoy the peace and the beauty of the place! Shorter stays and weekends possible according to availability and price has to be defined according to number of guests and season.
We have just received a little poem from a young guest:
" Why should we go
to Roma and to Pisa
when we are far better off
at HH's and Elisa! "
You should have a car in order to move around, if you are happy just with walks and a few excursions then we could meet you at the nearest train station and drive you home. We have had guests who have just enjoyed the garden for one week! The last three kilometres of country road drives you away from everything and you are in the middle of real nature in your own park.
We have 3 beautiful and quiet cats outside in the property so usually no dogs and ...obviously people strongly allergic to cats! Some guests love them and above all their children play with them, but even then they are not allowed inside, only in the veranda.

We just subscribed to the Rentors Org guestbook, so we entered just a few comments that our guests have written to us in the past years, many are in our guestbook or in letters or cards sent to us. Last year we had three families from the US and they all praised the location close to so many destinations. Among the mostloved besides Rome: Cerveteri, Olevano, Tuscania, Orvieto, Spoleto, Argentario, etc. One word is repeated dozens of time: Paradise! Well, we cannot but agree. But why don't you come and experience?

We really had a very good time during our four weeks in Pianamola. The beautiful location, the view, the garden, the swimming pool, the villages between the two lakes of Braciano and Vico and the Etruscan places and your hospitality have made time fly! We hope to be back.
Positive Rating
In Pianamola I can find the peace and energy I need to be creative and this Paradise deserves to be protected.

This landscape and this garden cannot be painted and cannot be described with words,unless you are a real artist! It is a beauty to be experienced! Back home we will miss the peace and the rest we had here , we hope to be back.

Pianamola is a beautiful country location and we enjoyed the clean crispy air, the lush garden and the escape from the crowds of tourists. Your wonderful library is a real treasure...The D.H. Lawrence in Italy really brought the Tarquinia tombs and surroundings areas to light! Thank you.

We have had a great time here. The garden is beautiful and there were lots of things to do. We have had visits to Rome (twice), Viterbo, Trevignano, Sutri, Tuscania, Orbetello. A great place to relax and see the sights.
