ROME COUNTRY, VIEWS, VINEYARDS, ACCÈS FACILE À LA VILLE EN TRAIN
Un excellent rapport qualité-prix pour une villa à service complet - nos excellentes critiques disent tout! Parfait pour les familles, les couples et les amis et les voyages en petits groupes. Petit déjeuner et ménage quotidien, aide au voyage incluse. Dîners avec services traiteurs, guides touristiques / visites guidées, cours de cuisine et de peinture sur demande.
Au cours des 30 dernières années, les voyageurs ont profité d'une expérience italienne authentique en séjournant dans notre villa du 18ème siècle et sa maison ancestrale, "Casale Sonnino". La villa est située au milieu de trente hectares de vignes et d'oliviers et est construite sur des fondations romaines de 2000 ans qui peuvent être vues dans le sous-sol. La propriété est située à Monte Porzio Catone, à seulement 3 km de Frascati et à 30 minutes du cœur de Rome en voiture ou en train, très pratique, à Frascati ou à Colle Mattia.
Le Casale Sonnino peut accueillir jusqu’à dix personnes dans cinq chambres plus (4+ à l’étage, 1 rez-de-chaussée) et trois salles de bain complètes (2 à l’étage et 1 au rez-de-chaussée). Cependant, deux couples ont aimé partager cette maison historique confortable et élégante. Les chambres à l'étage ont des lits queen ou ils peuvent être séparés pour les célibataires partageant une chambre. Aussi à l'étage se trouve une très grande terrasse avec des chaises, une tente pergola pour les repas et une table de ping-pong. La vue panoramique qui s'étend de Rome aux montagnes des Apennins est spectaculaire - en particulier lorsque vous partagez une bouteille de vin Frascati et des apéritifs au coucher du soleil.
Au rez-de-chaussée, il y a un salon / salle à manger de 20 'x 40' pour les réunions et les repas. Il dispose d'une grande cheminée et d'un lustre. Une salle de télévision et une salle de petit-déjeuner, à la lumière du sud, donnent sur le jardin. La cuisine de style vintage a une table en marbre au centre et des appareils modernes comprenant une cuisinière, un réfrigérateur, un lave-vaisselle, un four micro-ondes et un four grille-pain. Il y a une vaste collection de pots et de casseroles, d'ustensiles de cuisine et d'épices pour votre usage.
En dehors de la porte d'entrée: Par beau temps, le meilleur endroit pour un délicieux repas est sous la pergola de raisin dans le jardin par le vignoble.
Le prix du loyer comprend le petit-déjeuner continental et le ménage quotidien (à l'exclusion des dimanches et jours fériés). Pour les autres repas, vous pouvez magasiner sur les marchés locaux et préparer vos propres repas dans la cuisine entièrement équipée. Organisez un dîner gastronomique ou plusieurs repas préparés par nous ou par un chef 5 étoiles local. Ou vous pouvez dîner dans l'un des nombreux restaurants locaux préférés (nous partagerons le nôtre!) ou découvrez une trattoria lors d’une excursion dans les villages de campagne du Latium. En Italie, il y a tellement d'endroits pour manger et de vins à aimer!
Combien de temps reste-t-on au Casale et à Rome? Si vous avez seulement une semaine, nous vous recommandons: 2 ou 3 jours à Rome, 2 jours d'excursion en Ombrie, Toscane ou Latium et le reste à explorer les villes Castelli Romani de Castel Gandolfo, Ariccia, Nemi, Frascati et Grottaferrata. En été, près de Lago Albano, vous trouverez des installations de plage où vous pourrez louer des chaises longues et des parasols, ainsi que aller nager dans un lac propre. Il y a aussi une piste de jogging qui fait le tour du lac et des restaurants offrant une vue splendide.

We had a magnificent multi-generational family gathering at the Casale Sonnino. The house was perfect for our needs. We had a delightful breakfast each morning, ample room to gather & visit, lovely grounds... just a perfect setting. We were close enough to the city to see the sights, while enjoying the countryside. The house itself was gorgeous... exactly what we had in mind.The hosts put us in touch with excellent tour guides & helped us organize outings... I especially recommend the cooking class. Finally, George & Claire helped me organize a final night birthday dinner for my wife that was an absolutely delightful!We look forward to our next trip to Rome, so we can visit the Casale again.

Fantastic stay at Casale Sonnino
Casale Sonnino is an absolute jewel in the countryside outside of Rome. The grounds are simply gorgeous with vineyards, olive trees, flowers, lemon trees and spectacular views all the way to Rome. And the house itself is warm, inviting, comfortable and full of antiques- you can feel the wonderful family history throughout the home. George was a great host, creating an exceptional meal for us when we first arrived, conducting a fascinating tour of the caves below the house and answering our many questions. We visited Rome by train several days and the surrounding towns on the other days. It was a fantastic week and we are so happy that we spent it at Casale Sonnino!

Excellent location, outside of Rome with stellar views in an amazing, historical family home. The history was so interesting to hear, and we loved getting to know our hosts, George & Claire. The home is beautiful and very comfortable, with inside and outside lounging/eating areas, and is a great location to explore from - we were glad we kept our rental car.

Beautiful Views and Comfortable Stay for Leisure in Italy
The Casale was excellent. Nestled far enough from Rome proper to remain a paradise when we needed it; yet close enough to nearby towns and Rome to allow us to enjoy them at our leisure.
Our first thought when arriving was that the photos didn't do the Casale justice. George was incredibly helpful throughout our stay with excellent recommendations and advice. We could not recommend the Casale experience more highly, and would seriously consider revisiting in the future!

July at the Casale
We absolutely loved our stay at the Casale! We adored George - and Taki and Mr. Big as well! We loved our time with each of them - George is such a sweetheart and made us feel like we were right at home. The grounds were breathtaking and the home was beautiful. The morning breakfast was so delightful, the surrounding views made you feel like you were waking up to a fairytale setting! We are so grateful for our time and hope to return to the Casale in the future!

Our wonderful Italian Villa experience
A huge shoutout to George and Claire for a truly fantastic villa experience. Special thanks to George for going the extra mile for our group and being flexible with last-minute changes to our plans. The villa was as advertised and we all had a wonderful time. Included breakfast was wonderful each morning. Sitting outside in the garden was relaxing and the scenery was spectacular. This villa is a real treasure and has been in their family since the 1880s. Part of the original foundation is 2000 years old.

Magical Italian Views from every point!
Incredible true villa w/vistas from every part of the property. From landscaped vineyard views, to cobbled walkways, vast Italian cypress trees lining a cinema-like driveway, olive trees in abundance, and rooftop area to add to the experience.
Hard to do this stay without Georgio to concierge certain referrals and guidance. Fabulous stay, vintage design and decor worthy of a palace. Great location to wineries, ristorante, and bigger Frascati town loaded with shops, trattorias, conveniences. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime escape to Italian countryside living and many nearby hilly towns.
Nearby train stations make for an easy trip to Rome (30 minute ride) and more Italian culture along the way.

Unforgettable !
Our stay at Casale Sonnino was perfect. I took my mom and two of her lifelong friends to Italy and we spent 6 nights at this beautiful villa. Our hosts, George and Claire, were like old friends. We felt warm and welcome the minute we arrived and we were all a little sad to see our time come to an end. Just a short and easy train ride from Rome, we had the best of both worlds. The hustle and bustle of the big city during the day and the peaceful privacy of the villa in the evenings for conversation and fellowship. Thank you George and Claire for opening your home to us and allowing us to have the experience of a lifetime.

Perfect
An overall amazing property that’s conveniently located in the Rome country side. The villa is located 5 minutes from the train station and was so easy to navigate for our first Italian family vacation. Claire and George were excellent hosts and were full of great information. George had dinner and drinks with us one evening and let
us know all about the local history. Claire set us up with our tour guides and recommended a professional chef to cook for us one evening. Jo was an AMAZING cook, very reasonably priced, and that dinner was one of the highlights of our trip. Very close to the grocery store. Would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this property.

Great Villa Near Rome
What a wonderful stay we had at Casale Sonnino. Before the trip, Claire was very helpful in providing suggestions for our trip. During our stay, George could not have been any more accommodating in making recommendations and ensuring our visit was a success. The Villa is spacious with beautiful views in all directions. We travelled to Rome multiple times during our stay and could be downtown using Google Maps easily with 45 minutes. We found wonderful restaurants in the neighboring town and the best Gelato ever in Frascati, a short drive. During your visit, make some time for George to take you to the caves on site. It is well worth it! If we returned to Rome, we would definitely call Claire and George to set up a return stay.

Easter Week 2022 visit to Casale Sonnino
We had a wonderful experience at Casale Sonnino and the local region. George, Claire and their local friends Michelle and Jo were incredibly kind and accommodating and went out of their way to make our experience special and memorable. The entire week was just an incredible delight full of unexpected experiences and highlights. THANK YOU!
Casale Sonnino is a beautiful property and met and exceeded all of our expectations. The accommodations were excellent, the vineyard, olive orchards and outdoor garden areas were peaceful and beautiful. The Roman tunnels under the property were a fun and unexpected highlight. We enjoyed the access to the surrounding areas including Monte Porzio, Frascati, Colonna, the Tusculum Roman ruins, Lake Nemi, Castel Gondolfo, Marino, Grottoferrata, Tivoli, Hadrian’s Villa and of course Rome.
Highly recommend staying at Casale Sonnino!

Thanksgiving at the Casale
The Casale provided our family with a home away from home for Thanksgiving! With our daughter studying abroad in Rome for her fall semester, we wanted a place for our family of 7 to spend time in Rome as well as together as a family for the holiday. With well appointed bedrooms for all, spacious living and dining areas, beautiful grounds and wonderful hosts it was the perfect place! The nearby small towns and proximity to Rome let us explore the countryside and the city so easily. The Casale’s housekeeping staff was simply wonderful! Imagine waking up each morning to the scent of warm buttery croissants! A highlight of our trip was most definitely our pasta making class and Thanksgiving dinner at the Casale with local chef, Josephine Wennerholm. Jo was so wonderful to work with in planning and executing a pasta making dinner at the Casale for our group of 7. A few evenings later we had a most elegant Italian style Thanksgiving dinner prepared and served by Jo. I highly recommend having her cook for you at the Casale! All in all our stay was beyond our expectations and we cannot wait to visit again!

Casale Sonnino 2011
Our family rented Casale Sonnino for a week during October 2011. We were six adults and a toddler (all family). We chose Casale Sonnino for it's size and location. Making the choice of Casale Sonnino and triple-checking all of the home details was handled easily and graciously by the owner Claire Treves Brezel. Upon our arrival at the casale you will need a rental car for your stay, our expectations and more were immediately met and exceeded. The physical home was just what we hoped for and the staff, headed by George (Claire's brother) were more accomodating than one would reasonably expect. This remained so throughout our stay. The ladies who maintained the home and cook, if so requested, as well as George's workmen gave attention with warmth, care and good-humor(especially needed if no one in your party speaks Italian). If one individual stands out it would have to be George. The "buck stopped with him" and he knew it. Our days were filled as we chose. We took the train into Rome, very easy, and toured the surrounding area filled with history and beauty. There was never a dull moment unless we so chose. Returning each day to Casale Sonnino was a welcome respit filled with excellent local wine purchased from local vintners minutes away and food purchased locally and prepared by ourselves or the staff ladies that was delicious each and every meal. Bedtime was always preceeded by the last bit of wine outdoors on the deck overlooking Rome and it's lights in the near distance. This is a holiday not to be missed by anyone wanting some "dolce vita". We will be returning guests.

Now a treasured memory
Our family stay at Casale Sonnino was beyond anything we could have imagined! True, we expected what we saw in the photos and what information we had from our conversations with Claire. . . so our expectations were pretty high. The surprises lay in the reality of immersing ourselves into the authenticity of Casale Sonnino: the kindness & genuine warmth of George and the staff; the awesome beauty of the vistas that surround the Casale for miles & miles into the distance (think -- acres of undulating plains, vines & olive trees, with metropolitan Rome ever in the background); the cleanliness & comfort of bedrooms & baths; the incredible luncheon spread -- such a welcomed surprise upon our weary arrival; the delectable coffee/breakfasts (& cleanup) served with smiles & laughter every morning; the most welcoming outdoor pergola where we could so beautifully relax as a group; the top floor deck with it's unsurpassed views of Rome & the countryside; George's fascinating tour of the caves beneath the house & his family history; the riotous bloom & scent of spring flowers (jasmine! evergreen! roses!) ever present in the air. All in all, Casale Sonnino literally reverberated with pulse of our family group of eleven!! Our group spent an incredible week listening to music, visiting the many villages close by (Tivoli gardens a personal favorite), claiming a quiet spot to read or chat or discuss the day, using the charming & well-equipped kitchen to prepare meals. What we loved most was the drop-dead gorgeous views of the Italian countryside from every window & every garden resting place! Like living in a painting! We are grateful to Claire & George for sharing such a paradise with our family. . .

Casale Sonnino: Picture Perfect
I think our family would say we left part of our hearts at Casale Sonnino. The experience there exceeded all of our expectations. We were in Italy to attend a wedding nearby, and not only was the Casale conveniently located, but it was beautiful, historic, spacious, immaculately clean, and had the most gracious hosts and staff.
Prior to our trip, Claire was exceedingly helpful with travel tips, directions and recommendations for restaurants and local attractions.
Upon arrival, we were delighted by the beauty of the villa and the surrounding gardens, olive trees and grape vines. We found ourselves mostly sitting in the picturesque garden in our free time, although the common areas of the villa were gorgeous with high ceilings and fabulous, comfortable furnishings. Did I mention the bowls of Italian fruit jelly candies in every room?!
Our three young adult children were thrilled to find they each had their own charming bedroom, in addition to our master and another for friends. And, daily housekeeping!
Breakfasts were truly a highlight of our four days there. George and his staff laid out a beautiful spread every day, including dark Italian coffee, fresh seasonal fruit, creamy yogurts, and delectable pastries that George personally selected from a local bakery. And, more! Windows open, birds chirping, and a long gracious dining table set with table linens that were just what you’d expect to find at a charming Italian villa.
George was the consummate host. Besides being helpful with directions, train tickets, recommendations, and dinner reservations, we all loved hearing from him about the history and workings of Casale Sonnino. He gave us a fascinating tour of the Roman tunnels underneath the property. On our final day, he kindly accompanied us to find an ATM, and get gas for our rental car before his daily pastry run! Above and beyond.
We wholeheartedly recommend Casale Sonnino for anyone wanting to experience the Italian countryside, while being ten minutes away from nearby Frascati, and a quick, 30-minute train ride away from Rome.

Better Than We Dreamed
My husband and I recently decided to take our daughter and her fiancée on a trip to Italy. We wanted to establish a base for sightseeing, something near Rome but with a more rural feel. Casale Sonnino met and exceeded our expectations. At the Casale,we were free to experience the culture and rhythm of Italy. We loved being able to pad down to the kitchen in our robe and slippers for coffee and delicious local pastries and fruits. We liked being able to plan our days based on the weather and our energy levels, taking shorter trips to quaint nearby hillside towns on days that we didn’t have the energy to power through a day in Rome. The carefully prepared packet of information on sights to see in the area was full of fascinating day trips. We were able to experience local cuisine at nearby restaurants as well as walk about the towns in the evening, immersing ourselves in the sights and sounds of local life.
Our hosts, George and Claire, arranged for us to meet up with the most wonderful guide for our days to Rome. Geppe is truly a walking historian and gentlemen, full of love and pride for his country. With his help we were able to see twice as much with half the hassle. We thought he was worth every penny.
We requested a home-cooked meal one evening and invited George to dine with us. It was a special treat to come home at the end of a sight-seeing excursion and have a delicious dinner in the beautiful dining room with our host. What a view. George explained the local wine history while we sampled several bottles of wine that we’d bought that day. There was about twice as much food as we could eat in one sitting, each dish more mouth-watering than the one before. We laughed, talked and relaxed at a different level than we are able to at hotels or restaurants.
Each morning, I couldn’t wait to open the curtains, shutters and windows to gaze out over the vineyard and olive trees. One day workers in bright red shirts were topping the olive trees, another day I could hear the cook in the kitchen and smell coffee so I followed my nose downstairs. Staying at the farm felt authentic to me and consequently I fell in love with Italy. I’ll be back. One week wasn’t enough.

Casal Sonnino was the highlight of our stay in Lazio!
Casale Sonnino was a marvelous getaway for us and 6 of our friends and family. The approach to the house is along a lane through the olive groves, and the house itself is quite elegant and comfortable. One of the couples who stayed with us remarked that the bedrooms are so comfortable they didn’t want to get up in the morning. The breakfasts were an enticement to do so.There are comfortable sitting rooms and we also had access to the kitchen, when we wanted to cook, as well as a roof patio. The 2 ladies who work at the house were friendly and helpful and quite willing to work with what Italian the guests had, and George, the. host, is generous with his time and his help (and his tales of the house and the underground caverns are interesting and entertaining). George took us with him to watch the olive harvest of the day get turned into oil at a nearby frantoio, and then we got to taste the fresh oil! While we were there, there were also 2 dogs and a cat (outdoors only) who were quite entertaining. The closest train station (Colle Matteo) is just 5 or 10 minutes by car, and the train to Rome takes about half an hour. The famous Castelli Romani are also very close by car. Overall, the Casale Sonnino itself was the hightlight of our group's stay in Lazio!

Thank you for this terrific review and kind words. You were at the Casale at a great time of year during the olive harvest. You were lucky to be able to go to the mill and taste the new oil. I'll be getting the oil in April, so stay tuned for an email announcement for Casale Sonnino Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2022 Harvest!

Roman Holiday! Special place to stay and experience true Italian culture and hospitality
Our pre-stay interaction was fantastic. Claire took care to make sure we knew everything about the villa and was helpful with information and suggestions to make our stay perfect. She communicated all of our special requests and needs to George who was more than eager to fulfill them.
The on-line listing doesn’t do the villa justice. When you arrive at the huge gates and drive down the narrow gravel path you are left intrigued. Then you turn a corner and see the magnificent home. We were greeted by George and his little dog pal Taki. George gave us the tour and went over the basics. What a gracious host! George was available for ANYTHING we asked day or night regardless of the situation. He went out of his way and above and beyond all expectations on a daily basis.
When you enter the home it is like opening a book. Every room is like a new chapter. The first rooms were nicely furnished and comfortable. Perfect for congregating with friends or watching a little TV. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything you could possibly need or want. Eventually you make your way to the back of the villa…the dining room, formal living room and sitting room are gorgeous. Head upstairs and you find five well appointed bedrooms and two full baths. (I forgot to mention there is also a single bedroom and full bath downstairs).
The staff was also amazing. Every morning when we woke up a lite breakfast was served in the grand dining room. The women were busy working on cleaning and doing laundry. When we left for the day they would clean up after breakfast, head upstairs, make the beds and leave fresh towels. This was all done without any intrusion. They were in a word AMAZING.
We were In Italy during a severe heat wave which made the weather uncomfortable but there were fans in each room which helped cool things down in the evening for a good night sleep. If you plan to visit during the summer months expect to be hot! The villa is a working farm so expect workers to be milling about doing their daily chores. It was like a perfect Italian dream.
The location of the villa, just outside of Frascati and a short ride into Rome was perfect. We were able to day trip to many historic locations. I recommend renting a car during your stay. It makes everything more convenient.
The only thing left to say is thank you Claire and George for making my Italian dream vacation a reality!

The Perfect Wedding!
We hosted our wedding here in June 2018, and the spot was absolutely perfect. We had around 50 guests, and set it all up outside. Guests were also able to go inside to relax or up on the terrace for a great view. Not only that, but Claire was able to help so much in any part of planning we needed, and while we were there George would do anything to make sure things went smoothly. Such great people as hosts who truly care about their guests! Our guests were saying it's the best wedding they've ever been to, and nothing would top it. It was intimate but fun!
We also had 8 people stay at the Casale which really helped with fine tuning wedding details and not having to stress about leaving. The breakfast they set up is delicious and in a beautiful open room. We were all very comfortable and honestly wished we could've stayed more. We highly recommend it and hope we can return in the future!

The Casale sends a great message of Rome.
The Casale was great. We traveled to Italy as a party of 9 for my parents 50th wedding anniversary. We had 4 kids with us (one of them 2) so we did not want to hop around from hotel to hotel. Renting one place was our best bet. The Casale is only 20 minutes to Rome (from the train) - we went 3 times!! The town of Frascati which is about 5 minutes from the villa was wonderful (I wish we spent more time there).
I worked with Claire for the bookings and day trip ideas. She was very helpful and friendly. She recommended the town of Sperlonga, it's a beach town that was awesome! Once at the villa, George (her brother) was there to greet us. The house pets Dylan (dog) and Mr. Chips (cat) were so friendly, we really fell in love with them (if you are not an animal person, don't worry they live outside) - my kids miss them the most! George helped us with some directions and ideas, and answered my daughters questions of "How do you say... in Italian".
Although the villa is old (about 300 years), it is very clean and well kept. The house keepers come in daily to clean and do yard work.
Over all this was a good decision to rent the villa so we could all be together!!

We're delighted that you chose to celebrate your parents 50th wedding anniversary at our ancestral home! The Casale is definitely a great place for families who want to be together but also see places and explore the countryside. Dylan and Mr. Chips will definitely miss all the attention from your children!

Perfectly located spacious, characterful villa for Roman/surroundings holiday.
Azienda agricolo Sonnino Treves, managed by very friendly host George Treves, is a very quaint vineyard and villa conveniently located 20 min from central Rome by train (easy access station by rental car). Offers everything from enjoying the house and grounds (with its very own catacombs, don't miss), stunning views across vineyards over Rome in the distance, to excursions around the nearby wine region, Ostia with its excavations and, as mentioned, conveniently Rome itself. Perfect for larger/extended family/friends holidays and/or events. Plenty of room to socialize or to withdraw, whatever the wish is. Highly recommended!

It's wonderful that you and your family took advantage of the Casale's proximity to Rome, but also explored the Castelli Romani towns and Ostia Antica, the ancient Roman Port. I hope that you also had a chance to see Tivoli Gardens and Villa d'Este and Hadrian's Villa in Tivoli as well. George and the "Casale" crew strive to make our guests feel at home during their stay in the Rome area. We hope that you will return again soon!
À propos de l’hôte
Hôte : Claire Treves Brezel
My brother George and I are 5th generation co-owners of Casale Sonnino. We grew up in Princeton, New Jersey to parents who were refugees from the Fascist anti-semitic racial laws of 1938 and WWII that followed. Our father was from Turin and our mother was born in Trastevere, a now, very popular section of Rome. On the weekends, they would collect eggs and get wine and oil at her family's country homestead, owned by the three Sonnino brothers. The "FS" for Fratelli Sonnino still holds watch at the top of our entry gate.
Growing up, George and I would go to Italy on summer vacations to visit our Nonno (grandad) and spend a few weeks. Flash forward to today, George lives in Italy and manages the the guest hospitality and the surrounding agricultural property and I live and raise my family on the North Shore of Long Island. I import and sell our own award-winning extra virgin olive oil in the US and rent the villa to travelers who want a unique local and "off the beaten path" vacation experience near Rome. It is my great pleasure to help our guests create a custom itinerary with day trips and activities for their stay at our ancestral home, the "Casale". George is the beloved concierge who helps with dinner reservations and gets guests to where they want to go.
As we have learned from our many appreciative friends and fans that a unique history, lifestyle and great food is meant to be treasured and shared. We strive to maintain the house, the spirit, the soul of our ancestors and the values of a bygone era. We hold our agrarian roots near and dear even as Rome's lights twinkle in the distance.
Voici pourquoi l’hôte a choisi cet hébergement
My brother George and I are fifth generation co-owners of the “Casale”, our ancestral home, located in near Frascati on the outskirts of Rome. Our great, great grandfather began purchasing land in the area in 1883 and the farmhouse in 1900. In 1948, our grandparents transformed the farmhouse into the elegant family home which stands today. Though down to 25 acres from the original 100, we continue to cultivate grapes that are sold to a local Frascati DOC winemaker and produce delicious, top quality extra virgin olive oil from our over 750 trees of several varieties including Leccino, Rosciola, Carboncello and Venina. We export the olive oil to the US where I sell it directly to family and friends and by passa parole - word of mouth.
Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement unique
A private, comfortable and clean historic family-owned home to call your own (not a "rental property"). Be surrounded by vineyards & olive groves on a working farm. Gorgeous views from the bedrooms, living room and rooftop terrace. Garden pergola for dining al fresco. Friendly, Engaging, Helpful, English & Italian speaking owner on site. Authentic Italian small-town living in the Castelli Romani on the outskirts of Rome. No Tourist Crowds. Live like a local. Easy access to the city by train at Colle Mattia station located 1 kilometer from our gate. 3 stops and 30 minutes to Rome Termini in the center. From Termini Station there are buses, taxis or you can walk to the historic center. Or you may take trains to other cities in Italy: Florence and Naples: 11/2 hours; Assisi: 2 1/2; Spoleto 1 1/2; Perugia 2-3 hours are just a sampling.
The Casale is the perfect home base from which to see Rome for a couple of days and then go on day trips to all the small villages nearby or towns, historic sites and coastline of central Italy from Florence to the Amalfi Coast. The clean beach and charming town at Sperlonga, about 1 1/2 hours by car from the Casale is our absolute favorite.
