Großzügige Villa mit herrlichem Garten ganz in der Nähe von Rom

"Wir waren mit 4 Erwachsenen und 5 Kindern (5-11 Jahre) diesen Sommer Gast in Il Chiostro und sind immer noch begeistert. Liebevoller Empfang mit Eis für die Kinder nach einer langen Anreise, ein gemütliches Haus und für 9 Personen mehr als groß genug, besonders schön der Kreuzgang, in dem es angenehm kühl war und bei teilweise lauten Feiern in der Nachbarschaft am Samstag abend die Musik kaum zu hören war... Die Wassersprenger haben bei den Kindern den fehlenden Swimmingpool voll ausgeglichen.
Die Ausstattung ist gut und reichlich, angenehm eine Spülmaschine und eine Waschmaschine zu haben. Gut auch die Möglichkeit, nicht von Samstag bis Samstag buchen zu müssen.
Die Fahrt mit dem Zug nach Rom ist perfekt und preiswert (6,00 Euro für eine Tageskarte, mit der in Rom Busse und Bahnen benutzt werden können für alle ab 10 Jahren). Neben Rom bietet die Region noch viele andere interessante Ausflugsziele: Palestrina, Tivoli, Albaner See, Subiaco etc.
Alles in allem ein sehr zu empfehlendes Ferienhaus. Eine tolle Möglichkeit, um Rom zu besichtigen und sich trotzdem zu erholen."

"We had a wonderful stay at Villa il Chiostro in July. There were six adults in our group. It happened to be an unusually hot period in Rome (93 F - 95 F most days) during our stay. However, we found it very comfortable at night when we returned to the house.

The house was well taken care of and very clean. During check-in the owner was very gracious and helpful explaining everything about the house. The location outside of Zagarolo was a good location to visit Rome, Tivoli, and the hill towns south of Rome. We took the train into Rome several days and it was very convenient. The bar by the rail station where we bought our tickets was a good internet point since the villa did not have broadband.

The kitchen was very well equipped and stocked to cook meals. The washing machine was very convenient being located just off the kitchen. There was a very nice balcony just off the study that is shaded in the afternoon. Outside was like a park setting with a lot of open space. There was ample parking for the three cars and a car is an absolute must. The agent, Licia, we dealt with during the renting process was very helpful and answered all our emails very quickly even when we asked general questions.

During the stay Lorenza, the care taker, was very helpful. She lives nearby, speaks very good English and was able to respond to any problem or questions. We had her prepared two meals, with the help of her daughter Sonia, for us during the week. She is an excellent cook and the two dinners were very enjoyable. However, I would recommend that you have her prepare meals early during your stay because both times there was enough food for two more meals.

I think the owner could change the write-up on the web site to clarify that two of the three bathrooms are on the ground floor while three of the four bedrooms are upstairs.

We did go to three very good restaurants: Ristorante Il Giardino in Zagarolo (recommended by the owner), Ristorante A Modo in Palestrina and Restaurant Taverna Quintili in Tivoli.
