Francesco is a very nice, kind, caring and helpful host and he makes you feel like his home is your home. He knows well the surroundings and because of his suggestions and accurate directions we had the chance to discover great places that we otherwise missed and he helped us to plan our visit in Rome as well. We really enjoyed our stay in his home. His house is very clean and comfortable with beuatiful garden and pool. We are highly recommended, and hope come again. Although we haven't spend much time together we enjoyed our conversations. Dear Francesco, thank you for welcoming us in your home and we really hope our paths would cross again.

The home was just as it is listed. Beautiful little town, Capena, Italy. Unfortunately the day we arrived our train was two hours late, then we got off at the wrong bus stop, and it was evening already when we got there. Stephinea was our contact when we arrived, and she was very nice and got us into the house and more or less settled. The wifi was excellent. All the necessary things you need to cook meals were available in the kitchen. The bed is a king size and very comfortable. Hot water was more then adequate whether using in the kitchen, or for showers. The town is everything you would expect a small Italian town/city to be - friendly, helpful and where everyone knows everyone. Met some very lovely people. There are good restaurants.

Juliet is a very attentive and hospitable hosts! the house is delightful and friendly! We are ready for a next stay! Thank you!

Juliet is a wonderful host. Extremely communicative and fast to respond. Her apartment is charming, very spacious and comfortable. It is 5 minutes walking distance from the center of Capena and has everything one would need for a short or long stay (including a fast Wi-Fi connection!). Rome is 30 minutes by car and 45 minutes by public transportation. We enjoyed our stay and recommend Juliet's apartment as a great place to see Rome but still have the opportunity to enjoy a small, traditional town!

This is the perfect way to enjoy rome. A beautiful and friendly village to spend the downtime and to experience the Italian traditions up close, with rich oppertunity to take a trip into rome. All this combined with a fantastic host that are more than willing to help and show you the village and the lovely house of Casa Marconi, just makes this a trip we wouldn't have missed for anything. 5/5 stars - I would highly recomend it to others and I'm sure to return at another time.

Amazing views and fantastic hosts, always very supportive and friendly, and advicing about locations to visit within the region. The house is the perfect spot to explore Lazio region with the occassional trip to Rome city.

The apartment (which is actually an amazing townhouse! 2 floors plus a loft!) was GREAT!!! Good, quiet location with an amazing view, great coffee/bar very close, awesome gelato, and the bathroom (shower) was one of the best in Italy!!! :) Sincerely, Mary's photos do not do the apartment justice.... And, I have to say Mary was very accommodating of our super late arrival and arranged for her niece to meet us with keys even though it was almost 11 pm at night! Second, during our weeklong stay, my husband (yes, he is getting the blame on this one) somehow lost the apt key and Mary could not have been more helpful. She met up with us w an extra key and even researched for us fees to replace the key. ...I have to say: WOULD DEFINITELY STAY HERE AGAIN!!!! It's hard to even find a con, but the only inhibiting factor was no wifi--not even in the town or piazza...just hard to get directions, research, communicate w friends and fam while abroad.... Thanks, MARY!

What a special place!! We love it(URL HIDDEN)The house is very picturesque with a special bath.....(URL HIDDEN) It has a stunning view, on the valley and the neigboring roofs and in the evening you can even see Rome!(URL HIDDEN)Around there are lovely little streets and alleys, the cutest houses, all the old doors,.......(URL HIDDEN) Nice cafe inside the fortress and shops and restaurants closeby(URL HIDDEN)We enjoyed it very much! We threw money in the Trevi-fountain, so who knows, we will be back..........(URL HIDDEN) Thank you Mary!

After our visit to Rome we did 3 days in Castelnuovo in the beautiful house of Mary: On the foot of "a castle", build on a rock are numorous historic alleys where you coud get lost.... Mary her house is situated on the outside with a perfect view over the valley: sometimes you even can see Rome... The house is nice (enough room for at least 6 people) but the groundfloor is even better: renovated with a new luxoriuos bathroom with a bathtub as in your dreams..... I felt like the venus in a shelf I saw on a painting from Caravagio in the villa Borghese in Rome. We spend our days eating Italian food just around the corner, getting lost in the old historic town, drinking coffee in the sun (december) at the piazza, eating again, visiting the charmant artvillage Calcata, listing to music on vinyl (gramaphone), looking at the perfect view outside the kitchen window, the bedroom window AND the livingroom window, taking a bath, off course eating again and every moment feeling so lucky and happy together. Thanx for the opportunity of getting to know this perfect place with even a little window of God in the garden find it out yourself!

When you enter the historical centre of Castelnuovo di Porto, its like going back into time. Small pedestrian streets with charming houses, lazy cats lying on doorsteps. In the evening, young and old meet at the piazza for listing to a concert, having a chat at the terrace, enjoying a beer, wine or gelato. Mary's house is beautiful, spacious en well-equipped. From the kitchen window and especially from the lovely little garden, you have a spectacular view. Mary is an excellent host : friendly and helpful. The lake of Bracciano (the small beach of Trevignano was our favourite) and the Monte Gelato waterfalls were very nice places to escape from the heat during the warmest days. To go to Rome, you don't need a car. The train from Castelnuovo brings you in 45 minutes to centre of Rome.

Mary gave us a warm welcome to her house in Castelnuovo di Porto. She communicated with us very well prior to our arrival and provided specific directions to the house. Mary's kindness and relaxed personality ensured that we felt very much at home in her house. The house was perfect for our stay (a pit stop on our way back to Rome): all amenities were there and the relaxing garden has superb views! Castelnuovo di Porto proved to be a little scenic town with a lively piazza and warm, welcoming people. We warmly recommend Mary's house to other travellers.

My son and I had the most incredible time at Mary's house in Castelnuovo. Mary was so kind to pick us up in Rome and then we drove with her to Castelnuovo. The house, the mountains, the valley, the piazza; everything was more than perfect, and it was quite difficult to get ourselves together and leave the tranquillity and the slow-living, and visit Rome! I would highly recommend a stay at Mary's house, it is even better than showed in the pictures, and we would be happy to return whenever possible. Thank you Mary.

Mary's place was a fantastic homebase to discover some treasures in Italy. She was extremely helpful in our arrival, and making sure that we had everything we needed during our stay, even responding to a few last-minute questions. My family and I (4) had more than enough room and amenities to feel at home. We opted to cook several meals at home because the kitchen was so well equipped. The house is beautiful, and the garden with the view exceeded our expectations. We loved the small town environment of Castelnuovo (especially the piazza). I would definitely recommend staying here!

We stayed here for 2 weeks during spring and everything was perfect. The town is very charming, the house beatiful and our hosts Mary, Savino and Eva were very friendly and generous. They were extremely helpful with accomodating us - picking us up and showing us the town. They also provided us with some great tips for current exhibitions and restaurants that we really enjoyed. We really hope we get the chance to return to Castelnuovo soon! Miss it already... PS. The pizza at La Vecchia Torre on the piazza is also highly recommended :)

Macario is an excellent host and very accomodating. He thoughtfully offered to meet us at the station to lead us to his home. He also provided daily necessities (cookeries, towels,toiletries)and even generously set up a cot bed for our toddler. We even received surprise treats during our stay. The place was really clean and also near to train station (convenient to go to Rome city),supermarkets,pizzerias etc. Overall a very memorable stay in a charming neighbourhood. We are very satisfied. Highly recommendable! Thank you Macario!

Housing small but functional. Obligation to take a car for all travel (dangerous road with no sidewalk) but the presence of a train from the center of Rome in 40 minutes. The indicated equiments are present and functional. The presence of a microwave is a plus. The hote.nous provided access to another wifi (outside) because ours was not working. The host is very nice and available for any questions.

Beautifull experience. Very nice house, nice people. A perfect place to relax and in the same time so close to Rome. We loved it. Thank you Francesca!

The stay was perfect. Francesca was always helpful and informative so that we could enjoy a full holiday. house clean and well furnished. The highly recommend!

Great experience: beautiful estate immersed in the tranquility and greenery of Sabina. The friendliness and helpfulness of the owner complete the positivity of living. I highly recommend.
