I organised a Crossfit retreat in June for a group of 9 and we had a wonderful stay.

The property

The photos of the property adequately reflect what the villa is like. You can see the charm and beauty that the property holds, yet in person it is even more stunning. It feels like you're stepping into someone's villa in Ancient Rome rather than the 21st Century. Despite it being clearly full of history (which you'll find out about!) it is very well maintained, meticulously clean and all of the facilities are modern and function perfectly well.

The host

The host, Marina, was exceptional. She made us feel so welcome that we felt like old friends by the end of the trip. I would highly recommend this location to anyone who wants to experience Rome at it's best.

The food

Our meals were mostly catered by the restaurant across the street which I would give a high rating to also. Our breakfasts were self served buffet style which was nice and relaxed. There is a great pizza place up the road too

Here's a bit more about my experience...

On our first night Marina, the host, gave us a tour and history of the property which made you feel like you were stepping back into Ancient Rome. Despite the luxurious feel of the property, you can't help but feel comfortable and at ease in this special family home.

Our retreat was set to include a small amount of Yoga in the studio with Marina, but everyone liked it so much that we had to request more. In between Yoga and training sessions, our guests would relax around the property or take a short trip into Rome for sightseeing and shopping. There is also a pool just up the road which is ideal in the warmer months.

We had a fully catered menu which saved us the hassle of cooking for such a large group. All of the food was delicious and they did an excellent job at catering to various dietary necessities. In our group we had one person who was Gluten Free, two vegetarians and someone who was allergic to nuts and someone with allergies to shellfish.

The property itself is as stunning as it is large. It's ideal for large parties wanting to celebrate something special, but since you can also rent small parts of the property out, it's also great for small groups too.

The host recommends a local taxi company to get around and they offered us very fare rates for getting around, much cheaper than if we tried to organise transportation ourselves. I would recommend using this company for airport transfers.
