Trevignano Romano is truly a little piece of heaven, nestled at the side of Lake Bracciano, about 50km North of Rome.
We stayed at Andrea and Fabiana’s apartment for a week, late August 2017 and found it to be nothing short of delightful. Andrea was the perfect host, providing us with a huge amount of information about the local village and the surrounding areas – he even offered to take us into Rome on his way into work!
The apartment itself is simply idyllic. It is a well-proportioned residence with all the facilities that you would wish for, but the most noticeable thing that sets it aside is the cleanliness – it is spotlessly clean! The bedroom is air-conditioned, the bathroom is of a good size and the kitchen/living room is well laid out. That said, the best part of the apartment is the balcony; offering spectacular views over the Lake. We took in the sun in the early morning whilst eating breakfast and enjoyed the much-needed shade in the late afternoon.
Andrea’s apartment is truly deserving of a 5-Star rating. We loved this place so much that we’re definitely going to book again for next year!
For those Brits looking for a relaxing holiday a little off the beaten track, I strongly suggest that you give this area (and the apartment) a try – just don’t tell everyone. We found the locals to be really friendly and very accommodating and that there weren’t many Brits around at all (most of the locals speak good English which we were very grateful for).
The local restaurants were superb although most of the menus were in Italian only (as you’d expect); some did have English translations. I’d recommend visits to La Palma for the most perfect Pizza by the Lakeside, Gens Trebonia for some really special dishes and a bottle of wine on the jetty at La Vela. Also worthy of mention is Il Pab – a local pub serving 12 Craft Ales and a plethora of other alcoholic beverages.
In a nutshell we simply loved this place. Communication from Andrea before and during our stay was first class. All of our questions were answered quickly and completely – I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Andrea and Fabiana’s apartment to anyone.
