Photos and Description of this Frascati holiday villa Villa, 5 Bedrooms, 3 Full Baths (Sleeps 10)

Over the past 20 years, travelers have enjoyed a unique vacation experience staying in our lovingly maintained 18th Century villa and ancestral home, Casale Sonnino. The Villa is built upon 2000 year old foundations and set amidst thirty acres of working vineyards and olive groves, 40 minutes from the heart of Rome. Featured in 'Gourmet Magazine' and 'The Boston Globe', in articles written by enchanted guests, the Casale Sonnino has been called 'home' by families, groups of friends and fine artists with their paint brushes. Many return year after year to enjoy the small town Italian hospitality, excellent local restaurants and authentic country living, yet be close to all that Rome has to offer. Indeed, the Casale Sonnino is your perfect home base for exploring the beautiful hill towns of the Castelli Romani, touring the central Italian countryside from Florence to the Amalfi Coast and, of course, basking in the art, antiquities, history and the thriving 'dolce vita' that is Rome.

Further details for this holiday villa rental in Frascati, Italy

More About the Property: The Coliseum, the Roman Forum, the Vatican Basilica and Museum, Piazza Navona, the Borghese Gallery with the famed Bernini Statues, the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain and, of course, designer shopping near the Piazza di Spagna are less than 1 hour away. When you sip your wine or espresso on the Casale’s terrace at sunset, the whole city sparkles before you. Our guests have often commented that the Casale is a 'timeless place'. After a busy day of touring, you can rest comfortably surrounded by antiques as well as the modern day amenities of home. You can prepare your own meals in the fully stocked kitchen or have your dinner catered by our own local chef. Most of our guests prefer dining out at one of the many local restaurants - we'll tell you about our favorites when you arrive.

For me, the Casale is a 'place out of time.' My children ride on the farm tractor, pick figs and grapes, explore the maze of caves from the 12th Century buried below the vineyards, visit world class museums and learn about history layer by layer. When staying at the Casale, we leave the high-tech video whirlwind behind and slow the pace down. At night, we play ping pong, foosball and cards. When blissful sleep washes over us, we dream about the interesting places we have seen and the adventures that filled our days.

The Casale Sonnino sleeps up to ten, six to eight persons most comfortably, in five bedrooms and three full baths. Housekeeping and laundry service is included in the weekly rate. Daily breakfast, tour guide and cook service are available upon request. Over the years, we have hosted hundreds of artists, groups of friends and families who come to relax, paint, tour the countryside and hear stories about the Casale, the land and its owners through the last 2000 years. When you come into our home, you are sure to experience a special camaraderie and an unforgettable sojourn in 'La Bella Italia'.

Other Activities: Shopping, strolling small town streets, historic sight seeing

A wonderful experience!

mikeinneworleans New Orleans, LA
Review Submitted: November 13, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
“I don't think I can express how wonderful our stay at Casale Sonnino was but I will do my best.

I will say that going in we had pretty high expectations based on the information that the owner provided. We were blown away by how much better it was than advertised. From the moment we arrived we were treated to first class service by a staff that truly seems to love what they do. The staff prepared coffee for us each morning along with setting out the breakfast items we had purchased. They even prepared a hot breakfast for us on a couple of mornings. Another huge plus was the fact that they did our laundry for us on a daily basis.

The property was beautifully maintained, the surrounding vineyards and olive groves were wonderful and it truly gave the feeling that we were Italians for the week. We had a large group of ten and the accommodations were well suited for that size group. We enjoyed all of our morning and evening meals outside under a vine covered pergola that sat between the house and the vineyards. The owner had cautioned us in advance that the proximity of the property to the highway might pose some traffic noise issues. I know that all of us slept with the windows open and the traffic noise was never a concern.

The general format for our stay consisted of day trips to Rome, Positano, Pompeii, etc. The location of the property was ideally suited for this. We rented 2 cars and found that we had no problem getting around. Also, the property is in close proximity to 2 train stations that make getting to Rome an easy 25 minute ride.

I can't say enough good things about Casale Sonnino and would highly recommend a stay there.”

Casale Sonnino - A slice of heaven!

Larry C Singapore
Review Submitted: November 10, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Casale Sonnino – It was an absolutely wonderful and delightful stay, with the house being all that was expected and more! We were warmly greeted by the caretakers, and of course the Captain of the house (the cat!). The arrival brunch was a multicourse masterpiece that left us both speechless as well as unmoving – After all that food, who could move!
The days in Rome were an experience for our family (of 10!). While Rome was hot and somewhat stifling – Typical August weather – Casale Sonnino offered a nice respite due to its higher position in the hills. We also explored the villages above Casale Sonnino – Frascati, Monte Compatre, Monte Porzio, and a little further afield Tivoli and Antica. All were easily accessible from Casale Sonnino.
During this whole time, our refuge of Casale Sonnino never failed to deliver. Every morning a scrumptious breakfast was laid out, the caretaker was instrumental in guidance and instructions, and I do believe I speak for everyone in saying that it was truly a lifelong memorable time. We were offered a unique view of the Casale Sonnino ‘underworld’ with a tour of the wine catacombs – Amazing … and nice and cool!
Our evenings were spent hanging out under the Frascati grapes perched above us on the veranda, as well as marveling at the view of the Rome countryside from the rooftop. Just writing about this is now going to disturb my work for the rest of the week, as I will be thinking of vineyards and olive trees, and the wonderful memories from Casale Sonnino.
