Welcome to our little piece of paradise! As soon as you will enter our place you'll be enchanted by an atmosphere inviting to total relaxation and tranquillity.
Our home, named Villa Helios, spreads onto 3 floors, sourrounded by the on both sides by the garden.
on the ground floor one finds the wash room with washer and dryer, as well as the fitness room (step, running tape ect).
on the 1st floor there is the kitchen, the living room and dining room. the two bedrooms and bathroom also on the same floor are well separated from the rest.
on the second floor there is the 3rd bedroom (also equipped as a study) with en-suite bathroom.
this is our own place, we rent it as we are in the US for a couple of years - long rentals welcome! as we have there most of our stuff we count on our renters to take great care in our place as if it was their own. this is not the typical rented place, it is our beloved place.
Great care has been paid in our home to materials; wood floors in the bedrooms, beautiful carpets elsewhere, wooden bright orange happy kitchen, beautiful pictures on the walls, all the house has been appointed for giving a warm fealing.
The living and dining room has a fireplace and A/C and 2 beautiful patios opening onto the two gardens. we decide in which one to stay, play or eat according to season and timing of the day. There are 2 BBQs (a gas and a wooden one) in the garden for you to use as well as a great garden tables.
In a separated section of the ground floor live my assistant with his girlfriend: they are a wonderful, quite couple performing house sitting duties for us while we are away. while you will never see them if you do not want to, they will be happy to assist you during your stay should you have any questions or needs. in most cases it will be them welcoming your on your arrival.
During the summer the pool is open to guests, while the tennis is open all year round and you are welcome to use them both. Within our gated residencial area there are also safe parking areas and children's play area, though your kids will have more fun playing with the tons of things they will find in our own garden and home.
Guests can choose to relax in the villa, reading or doing a BBQ in the garden and eating it under the palapa, taking advantage of the pool and tennis court or to visit the beautiful countryside of Lazio. Villa Helios is only half mile outside the Rome ring road; just inside begins the town, so the location is actually rural, but at the same time just close by the town. The house is within the archeological park of Appia Antica, with ruins dating to Romans times, with the possibility of horseback riding and excursions on foot.
In 312 B.C. Roman Consul Appio Claudio gave his name to a new road (Appia Antica - Appian Way) that reached the Campania region from Porta Capena. Along this very ancient road there are today some of the best rests of Imperial Rome, with all the natural beauty of Italian vegetation.
The famous Golf Fioranello is 3 minutes away, it offers the fascinating experience of playing golf among anciet Romans’ ruins! The proximity of Latium famous sandy beaches (10 miles) allow to spend unforgettable moments by the seaside too. One can also easily visit the nearby wonderful archeological area of Ostia Antica (10 miles), the famous lakes and vineyards district on the Albani Hills around Frascati (3 miles), or take the highway toward Naples, Pompei, Florence and more... if you feel like shopping, besides many shopping center (plus a small but superfurnished supermarked half mile away) the main outlet in the country - Castel Romano Outlet - is just 6 miles away...

And if this is not enough for you, consider exploring Europe from here: Fiumicino airport is 15 minutes drive and Ciampino 3 minutes drive, so that you can go shopping in London or Paris for lesss than 30 EU! (Ciampino is famous for its low cost flights!!!).
we will be happy to give you hints and advice. my husband Giulio is the most charming chaperon you can ever think of, a descendend of noble Italian families, with hospitality deep in his heart...
The proximity to Ciampino make of our place also perfect place for those who wants to enjoy Rome's relaxed and culturally lively lifestyle for a longer period, while frequently commuting abroad for work. The Ciampino railway station is also 6 miles away bringing into rome downtown in 10 minutes
Our home is fresh at summer and warm in the winter. A bus connecting to the metro and thus the historical centre of Rome is just yards away running sevelar times during the day in weekdays. another one running every 20 minutes everyday is half mile away. However we do STRONGLY reccomend the rental of a car if stayoing at our place. Driving to the center is quick (15 minutes drive to coliseum in normal traffic conditions) and easy and we have private and secure parking place. you can rent form as little as 7 EU per day all included with sixti (nearest pickup place Rome - Ciampino airport, 3 minutes drive) |
