Giuseppe and Michela are the most lovely and welcoming hosts. Our apartment was spacious, very clean and tidy, and (being situated quite high above the plain) a cool relief from the heat of the city of Rome. We had everything we needed - including the use of a beautiful part of the house’s garden with a terrace where we were able to enjoy dinner, and good views towards the sea. Our hosts provide a comprehensive manual of recommendations and useful local information too. The district is well-geared for tourism, and the local centres of Albano, Ariccia (with its well-known “fraschette”), Nemi (famed for sweet strawberries) and Genzano di Roma are all within half a dozen kilometres of the house. Travel to Rome is easy by car or by train from Cecchina. And not forgetting Castel Gandolfo, with the Pontifical Palace overflowing the shores of Lake Albano. The lake has good beaches and scenic wooded hills above. A wonderful stay in every respect! Thank you again to our hosts!
