very nice countryside home. Only issue was that one of the twin beds wasn't very sturdy, the boards under the mattress popped out a few times. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. We had 2 wonderful nights here.

Very good experience staying at this place during our visit to Rome. As a family of 6, we needed parking and a quiet spot away from the urban bustle — and this delivered exactly that. The location felt safe, the place was clean, and the host was responsive and helpful throughout. A peaceful, restful base after busy days exploring the city, yet still within easy reach of everything. Highly recommend for a larger family, and we’d happily return.

We (2 adults, 2 kids) had a great week at this location. The apartment was modern and functional, including airco, well-equipped kitchen, and even mosquito nets. The pool was great for cooling off and playing. The host was super friendly and always ready to help out. The view from top of the hill was beautiful. And it was very easy to get to Rome, combining a 20 minute drive and a 20 minute trainride. Loved it.

We had a wonderful time at the property. Our host was really friendly and helpful and on hand to assist with everything we needed but not intrusive in any way. The villa was very private with great views over the valley from the veranda and from the pool; The pool was perfect for us and scrupulously clean, with ample seats around and a fantastic umbrella for shade. The aircon was excellent, and we needed it, as it was 40 degrees plus outside - perfect to come into from the pool. Wifi worked well and the rest of the villa would comfortably sleep 6, though we were only 4. We hired a car and so used it to drive to Montebello station (15 minutes) from where we could get the train (or bus) into Rome - all very easy and much cheaper than the UK. Overall, the property was perfect for us, just as described, and I would highly recommend it.

Amazing Italian vacation!

Loved staying at this villa - very easy to get to Montebello train station for a quick train to Rome, did a day trip via car to Amalfi coast, and then did a relaxing villa day exploring the town and swimming. Loved the local restaurants too. Villa easily fit our family of 5 and hosts were great.

Pleasant holiday & house

We've had a lovely holiday in Sacrofano. The house is well equipped and has a very nice panorama. It's ideal for trips in the surroundings and Rome, but a car is definitely required. Donatella, the owner of the house, is very hospitable and kind.

Rome for the Ryder Cup

Amazing property with spectacular views. Our host was fantastic. Getting to the house the first time is an adventure, but the town that sits below is cute with very cool stores and shops. It is a 15 minute drive to the train station and then another 20-25 minutes and you are in the middle of Rome. We are thinking about coming back with our younger kids in a year or two, just an incredible vacation and place to stay

Perfect Holiday

We simply cannot rate our holiday with Gherardo highly enough - quite simply it was the perfect family vacation. The property itself is incredible - clean, spacious, well equipped and with views of Sacrofano, and in the distance, Rome. It is also well located to access the local area, including Rome in under an hour. Gherardo was the perfect host, going out of his way to ensure that we had a relaxing stay. It’s the people that make a holiday, and Gherardo and his family helped make ours. We would definitely recommend and definitely hope to return one day.

Sacrofano

We had great time Gherardo’s place in Sacrofano, a lovely medieval town. A short drive to the train station then a short train journey into Rome for a bit of tourism. A lovely pool and a great view. Gherardo was great with any info we ask him for. 10/10

Peaceful location

The property is clean and comfortable, in a peaceful and beautiful setting. Sacrofano is a lovely traditional Italian town with many restaurants. Donatella was very welcoming and helpful on our day of arrival taking us to the local supermarket and showing us the train station to be able to get into Rome easily. There are some great places to visit if you are looking for other things to do apart from visiting Rome. Bagnoregio is an one and a half hour drive away but well worth a visit and Ostia Antica near the airport is definitely worth a visit.

Villa Close to Rome

We had a wonderful family vacation close to Rome and it was easy to get into the city. One of the bedrooms had a window with no view, you looked into a wall. The pool was well maintained as were the grounds. Gherardo was very knowledge of the area and responsive to our requests. There are some things that could use updating for example: hangers in the closets, towel racks, new linen and a faster internet conection.

Amazing Stay with a View Over the Rooftops of RomeWe had a wonderful stay at this beautiful holiday home! Everything was just perfect. The house was very well equipped, spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing time.The location was absolutely stunning — situated above the rooftops of Rome, it offered breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere, yet was still close enough to explore the city and the wonderful surounding area easily.Our host Gherardo was incredibly kind and welcoming, always ready to help and made us feel right at home. One of the highlights was the pool, which was perfect for the kids to relax and unwind after a day of sightseeing.We truly enjoyed every moment of our stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a special getaway in Rome.If you're looking for a peaceful retreat with an amazing view, great comfort, and a warm host — this is the place to be!

From the first communication with Gherardo to the checkout a wonderful experience. He was so flexible and welcoming, left us all the privacy we wanted! Thank you!! The accomodation was as described and equipped with everything you could ask for. Spotlessly clean, too! The outside with a wonderful terrace and garden and the lovely pool are fantastic. A gated entrance gives you complete privacy - and the views onto Sacrofano and Rome are nothing short of spectacular! 10/10! Highly recommended!

Beautiful property with the most amazing views

When we arrived at the property we were truly amazed by the size of the grounds and villa. The listing just does not do this property justice and it far exceeded our expectations. We have traveled to many different places and the far reaching beautiful views where by far the best we have ever had. Gherardo our host welcomed us with open arms and was extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Gherardo has some lovely dogs that live on the property however they have their own space much to our disappointment as we absolutely loved Bianco and loved seeing him and getting

Sacrofano villa

We arrived atthe villa a little earlier than expected but Gherado was there to greet us and it wasn't a problem. There are a couple of steep inclines close to the villa, one in particular, definitely needs to be taken in first gear.The view is absolutely stunning and while ww stood and admired it Gherado pointed out the supermarket and a couple of restaurants. The villa was immaculately clean and had everything we could possibly need. There were 4 large bottles of water in the fridge whigh was very welcome in the heat. Hand soap, washing up liquid and dish washer tablets were supplied which, in our experience, is unusual. We had a couple of small problems but Gherado or Sarah sorted these extremely quickly. Nothing was too much trouble and they were always happy to answer questions concerning directions or local areas.I only have one suggestion, the sunbeds around the pool were quite flimsy and not particularly comfortable but this, in no way, would stop us from returning.
Rome in the distance.

Fabulous stay close to Rome

My stay at Gherardo's in Sacrofano was simply exceptional. From the outset, Gherardo’s hospitality set a high standard for our visit. The accommodation is pristine, well-decorated, and filled with all the amenities you could wish for, making us feel right at home. What sets this location apart is its convenience. A 15-minute drive takes you to Montebello station, from where a direct train whisks you into Rome's heart. After a bustling day of sightseeing, returning to the peaceful atmosphere of Sacrofano was a blessing. The village itself is charming, providing an authentic Italian experience. Ample shops, cafes, and restaurants ensure you're never far from a delightful meal or a casual stroll. What really elevated our stay was Gherardo's extraordinary attention to detail. He provided invaluable advice on everything from transport to dining, making our trip seamless. It’s rare to find a host who is both attentive and respectful of your space, and Gherardo managed this balance perfectly. In summary, this is not just an accommodation; it's an experience that exceeds all expectations. We can’t wait to return. Thank you, Gherardo, for an unforgettable stay!

Spectacular view

When we arrived I have to admit I was not prepared for the hill but we soon got used to them . Gherardo met us at the gates of the property and was so welcoming , he was friendly and showed us around the property. The photos can't do this place justice . The grounds which are impeccably maintained . I was really surprised on how spotless the whole property is including the pool area . The chairs on the front porch of the villa range from a outside eating area with table to a bench with cushions and comfortable lounging chairs so we spoilt for choice as to where we could sit . The pool area had chairs and sun beds and fantastic huge parasol that could shade the pool which was great as it was around 35 degrees every day we were there . The pool was clean and again the grass area was beautiful and so well maintained . The inside of the villa was amble with a big sitting room and dining table .The sofas were comfortable, the air con in the property was well neededed and very good as it kept us cool in this heat wave . The kitchen area had everything we needed and there was not a thing we really needed to bring apart from food . Most sundries had been provided including toilet roll , sponges for washing up but there was a dishwasher and washing machine which was very handy . The bedrooms were spotlessly clean , the beds were so comfortable. I can't praise this place enough , the views were breathtaking and we will miss it . We have fallen in love with Italy . Thank you
