The perfect way to combine nature and relax, just 30 minutes drive from Rome, 5 minutes from Rainbow Magic Land (https://www.magicland.it) and the Fashion District Outlet (http://www.fashiondistrict.it). Immersed in the quiet of the Roman countryside, in a lovely location, Artena is a small, old village with the Europe’s largest pedestrianized historical center and it is famous for its cluster of houses set in the rock. In the Middle Ages it was a fief of various Roman baronal families, such as the Colonna, the Orsini and the Borghese. On the mountain (600 m) above the village are the fine remains of the fortifications of a city built in the 6th or 5th century BC. The house, originally a monastery, built in 1700 a.C. in a typical tower shape, can host up to 13 people. The house has two floors. The first floor has a large entrance hall, a big living room with fireplace, a comfortable sofa and a TV. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the facilities. In the same floor there is a big bathroom and two bedrooms. The second floor has three bedrooms, a kitchen with fireplace and another big bathroom. The property includes an exterior covered wooden gazebo, a terrace on the ground floor and a large garden with a shed.

A lovely property which brought together extended family . Plenty of room for everyone. Easy access to groceries, family restaurants etc.
Close to Rome.
Recommend it!
We were looking for a place with space and a garden for our kids, we were not dissappointed!
The house is big and fully equiped (no WiFi, as stated, but had the good suprise of finding a Nespresso machine). Another nice detail: a small quantity of all the things that you use to forget was available (salt, oil, cleaining products, anti-mosquito plugs).
We enjoyed very much the terrasse, and the kinds enjoyed a trees' shady garden.
30-60 minutes drive to Rome (depending on where in Rome and the traffic). Just a short walk to a supermarket.
Un viaje maravilloso que gracias al alojamiento fue perfecto. La casa con mucho encanto, en un lugar único y cerca de todos los servicios que pueda uno necesitar y de la autopista. Sin duda recomendable y lo dejo anotado para la próxima visita a Italia. Marco y su familia nos han acogido muy amablemente.

La estancia ha estado muy bien, la casa amplia y bien equipada, y los propietarios muy amables.
Hemos estado dos familias (4 adultos y 11 niños) durante 5 días y ha sido una estancia muy agradable. La casa es muy amplia, bien equipada, y agradable. La situación es buena, pegada a Artena, un pueblo bonito y pintoresco.

Week end di Pasqua in compagnia
Abbiamo soggiornato in questa residenza per le vacanze di Pasqua 2018 siamo un gruppo di amici 9 adulti e 3 bimbi piccoli e gli spazi erano perfetti per le nostre esigenze...il grande salone per stare tutti insieme la cucina comoda ( 2 cucine ) e i bagni grandi comodi anche per i bambini...le camere tutte molto spaziose....il giardino esterno comodo...purtroppo siamo capitati in giornate fredde e la casa non dotata di impianto di riscaldamento era un po troppo fredda e per scaldarsi con le stufette a disposizione ci é voluto un bel po...Un piccolo problema idrico di mancanza della acqua che con anche bimbi piccoli rischiava di rovinare la vacanza ma risolto grazie alla intervento del proprietario che si é dimostrato molto disponibile e gentile ( Ha risposto al telefono anche a mezzanotte.....gentilissimo e pronto a inviare una squadra salva pasquetta) Una casa molto comoda per gruppi numerosi che offre grandi spazi sia per la convivialità che per il singolo.... ottima posizione sia per visite turistiche che per la vicinanza a supermercati....forse un impianto di riscaldamento aiuterebbe ma sicuramente un ottima sistemazione che ci ha regalato un bel week end in allegria....

Fijne, ruime woning
Het was goed toeven in het huis. Het enige jammere is dat er niets voor kinderen is: babybed, kinderstoel, e.d. Daardoor moeten improviseren met onze kinderen.

Wonderful stay in Italian countryside near Rome.
We loved our stay for all 9 of us here at the Artena home. We were close enough to town to get supplies, but still had privacy. We were able to easily get on the train to Rome. This house was large and kept us cool in the 90 degree weather, even though no air conditioning. We highly recommend this property.

Très belle et spacieuse maison
Nous avons passé un super séjour dans cette très grande maison . Nous étions 10 avec des enfants . Merci à Marco pour son accueil très sympathique et ses conseils . La maison est situé à qqs mètres du supermarché Lidl très pratique . A 4 km de valmontone ou vous pourrez prendre le train pour visiter rome 3 euros . En 30 mn vous y êtes . Bénéficier du centre outlet de valmontone pour votres garde robe . Et du parc magic rainbow si vous avez des enfants ou ados . La mer est à 50km Anzio des plages superbes publics .. Le village d Artena est joli et mérite une ballade jusqu'à à son eglise . Ensuite arrêtée vous déguster une glace à la dolce vita . Bref super maison super emplacement encore merci Marco et Claudio .

Superb house/location for exploring Rome and about
Lovely big house close to a beautiful town with great bakery, restaurants etc. Even found the local barber. From here you can commute easily into Rome and explore the beaches, Tivolli Gardens, Pompeii etc. Missing it all already.

soggiorno di famiglia relax e confort
Un grande grazie a Marco e alla sua famiglia, veramente molto carini e disponibili. Siamo stati nella villa lo scorso agosto, dal 3 al dieci, tre famiglie per un totale di dieci persone. La casa ha tutto, è ben curata, pulita, e se avete bambini è la location perfetta per l'escursione a Rainbow. Noi siamo stati fortunati a prenotare nel periodo della kermesse internazionale dei fuochi pirotecnici,ce la siamo goduta dall'enorme terrazzo. Da riprenotare mille volte

Fantastic value for money!
Considering the price, this place was huge!! A really lovely house with good views overlooking Artena. Really easy to get to as it is close to the main road. Shopping was easy thanks to a Lidl just down the road. Great if you want to visit Rome - really easy just to get a train from Valmontone (and parking at Valmontone train station is only 1eur for the day).
Marco was always very helpful and friendly. We will definitely be staying here again when we come back to visit Italy.

Grande Villa a prezzo conveniente
Eravamo 3 famiglie con bambini e ci siamo trovati molto bene.
La casa è molto grande, ha cinque comode camere e un bellissimo salone con una splendida vista sull'antico borgo di Artena, oltre a un giardino e un grande cortile esterno ideale per mangiare e rillassarsi.
Il punto è ottimo per raggiungere Roma (30 min in macchina) e l'area circostante è piena di bei paesini, ottimi ristoranti e attrazioni (Parco giochi Rainbow Magic Land, Outlet).
Il prezzo è molto conveniente (soprattutto se si è in tanti) e i proprietari cordiali e disponibili. Grazie!

vacanze per tanti
eravamo 4 coppie di pensionati.La casa è bella, pulita, funzionale e conforme all'annuncio. Priva di riscaldamento ma con 2 caminetti e 3 stufette a bioetanolo si stava bene. I boiler per acqua calda sono poco capienti e non consentono più di due docce consecutive. Nelle immediate vicinanze supermermercati e negozi per ogni bisogno.Consigliato per gruppi o famiglie numerose.

Ottima soluzione per gruppi numerosi!
Siamo partiti in due famiglie con bambini e zii al seguito (in tutto 10 persone) ed abbiamo soggiornato nella villa l'ultima settimana di marzo. Ci siamo trovati benissimo, la villa è bella, pulita e si trova in una posizione strategica, infatti è a pochi minuti dall'autostrada e in una mezz'ora si raggiunge Roma. Vicino all'alloggio c'è un grande supermercato oltre a un bar e un ristorante. Inoltre i prezzi sono estremamente concorrenziali e i proprietari sono stati molto disponibili.

Why they chose this property
House in the countryside near the ancient village of Artena. In a strategic position to visit Rome. A few minutes (5 minutes) drive from Rainbow Magic Land and the Fashion District Outlet! Great to visit Rome, especially if you are many!
