Casaprota holiday lettings

We have just had a wonderful week staying in San Valentino. The Villa is modern, clean and has excellent air con so you are cool all the time. The garden and pool area are wonderful with great views across the valley, and a shady pool house for if you want some shelter. There are lovely hill top villages with bars, and a day in Rome on the train is very convenient. I would highly recommend this property. Eduardo is welcoming and friendly, and was available for any problems if needed. 5*

The villa is beautiful with large, spacious rooms and a wonderful mixture of more modern and older pieces of furniture. The pictures just don't do it justice. The kitchen is well equipped with ample pots, pans, cooking and serving dishes and enough cutlery, crockery and glassware to accommodate a small army! The outside areas are equally impressive with a wonderful loggia just off the kitchen for alfresco dining or chilling. The outside kitchen is also close by with its wood fired grill and pizza oven, gas hob and sink with running water. There is also a patio area with sofa, stools and a low table and of course the pool with its own terrace and sun loungers as well as a volleyball net in the garden and table tennis under the covered parking area. As a party of 7 adults from 6 different households we found there was plenty of space for us all to function as individuals and as a group. The villa is very secluded and peaceful but so many places are easily reachable within an hour and the landscapes are stunning. Michela is a very genuine and warm hearted person and was a wonderful host; always quick to respond to any messages before and during our stay. She went out of her way to help us on more than one occasion, even picking up two of our party when transport plans went haywire. The property and its grounds are meticulously maintained and Daniel and/or his wife, Aurica, discreetly turn up every other day to clean the pool, attend to the chickens and ducks.

Great communication with Eliano before we arrived. A lovely welcome with some fantastic local food treats and a detailed tour around the well equipped villa. The house and pool is well laid out with plenty of shade and fantastic views. The countryside is beautiful with a multitude of hilltop towns and wooded peaks. Overall great hosts and a very relaxing holiday.

We had a great stay at the property - which is beautiful & very comfortable. Lorenzo was very friendly and quick to communicate. Hopefully will be back one day

With magnificent views, this property offered all the privacy we required in an unspoilt part of the Italian countryside. Despite its gorgeous, rural location, the house was within easy striking distance of Rome by car and made a great base for exploring the wonders of the Eternal City. The facilities within the house made it easy to create family meals for our party of 12, with plenty of room to congregate or find a quieter spot. It’s various terraces offered many options to gather and enjoy the sun-dappled views by day and distant lights by evening. The huge pool was a constant draw for everyone. Even in the blazing heat of high summer, the garden offered shade and the house itself was cool throughout. The local area is unspoiled by mass tourism and many restaurants close by offered an authentic taste of Lazio.

Thanks to our lovely hosts, we had a great time

This is a beautiful property, on the side of the mountain. You reach it via a twisting mountain road very narrow in places . Scenery is breathtaking, changing from scrub to dense forest. If you use the location on the HomeAway map for this property it literally takes you to the property. It is behind big black gates oh the right hand side . Although the apartment is underneath the owners villa it is as if you are on your own . The owner is so friendly, but never intrusive. The apartment is very clean , bathroom, kitchen / dining room/ living room and a good size bedroom. All traditionally decorated. The view from the bed agin is for hundreds of miles and there is a gravel are out side with tables an chairs . Lovely in the late evening as it’s out of the blazing sun but you can watch incredible sunsets! The swimming pool is absolutely spotless and beautifully maintained. It is at a higher level to the apartment accessible via a private path and a few steps . The pool has a very deep end and a good length so you can have a proper swim . The view from the sun loungers beside the pool are incredible and you see for hundreds of miles , beautiful. The pool is totally private use for the appointment, although next to the villa but total privacy is respected by the owner . There is one village about 2 km down the mountain which has an excellent village shop , fresh fruit and veg , super meats cheeses breads wine . If you want the ultimate peace and quite this is the place for you , total seclusion. The owner gives you a key to the front gate so you can come and go as you want. She also has the most magnificent Labrador dog who is super friendly! Wonderful holiday !!

The peace and tranquility of this beautiful apartment and Roccantica itself was just what we needed and appreciated after our break in Rome. Massimo and Giovanni were so welcoming and had provided everything we needed to settle us in - a tray of fruit, bread and cheese etc and a bottle of Prosecco. We drank this watching the sunset from the pretty garden and admiring the lovely wooded hills and more distant views. The apartment is very spacious and comfortable and we loved its features. It’s a very special place which we hope to return to again. We really felt ‘at home’ in the apartment. We walked locally and around nearby Casperia along the ‘Strada Bianci’ (white roads) between vineyards and hedges of autumn fruiting trees. The countryside is captivating and the little restaurant inside the walls of Casperia is great for lunch. There are many attractive and interesting hill towns further afield which we would visit on a longer stay.
