CHEF IN VILLA
Federico will welcome you at the villa, for my friends Freddy, a young creative and tenacious cook, exalted by the desire to always amaze his guests with fresh, seasonal dishes, with the passion to create new recipes by mixing the knowledge of the territory with the tradition and culture of its customers. A must try is my workhorse ... a real Neapolitan pizza cooked in a wood oven right before your eyes ... Light, high, crunchy but also very soft on the palate. It will be the best and lightest pizza you've ever tried ... Try it for yourself ...

COOKING COURSE PASTA FRESCA
Learning to cook will never be so fun ... Test yourself and participate in a Masterchef style course on fresh pasta. I'll show you how to prepare the perfect pasta: no machines, just your hands, the freshest local ingredients and your imagination. You will be guided in a careful explanation both in form and in filling;
It is a basic course designed to spend 4 hours together and discover the true secrets of Italian cuisine, such as preparing ravioli stuffed with ricotta and spinach with butter and sage, potato gnocchi with fresh tomatoes and basil and fettuccine with porcini mushrooms . Everything we will prepare during the lesson we will taste together with a good Italian wine. In addition to preparing the grandmother's classic recipes, you will also have to think about having to prove that you are better than your partner with a few glasses of good wine that never hurts ... I will teach you to love cooking, the importance of hygiene and how to repeat these recipes in your house.

TASTINGS OF WINE AND CHEESE WITH WOOD PIZZA OVEN
We will taste different organic wines and a prosecco combined with different types of cheese. We will start with prosecco, whose taste will be mixed with a special buffalo mozzarella that comes directly from the beautiful Naples. Then we will continue with a taste of white wine with one of the most important Italian cheeses: Parmigiano Reggiano aged for 24 months and finally an explosion of flavors with a special red wine, aged for 12 months in cask and many other sheep cheeses.

TOUR E-BIKE IN THE HEART OF ROME
Admire some of Rome's most famous icons: Piazza di Venezia, Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, the Books Fountain and Piazza Navona, Trajan's Column and Arch of Constantine, Colosseum, Palatine Hill, Circus Maximus, Aventine (if there is little row) or Il Giardino delle Arance, Teatro Marcello, Fontane delle Tartarughe and Torre Argentina. Discover the magic of Rome and feel the real Roman atmosphere!

GANDOLFO CASTEL TOUR IN KAYAK WITH A GASTRONOMIC TASTING
The picturesque town of Castel Gandolfo on Lake Albano is home to the Pope's summer residence and is one of the most popular trips from Rome. On this tour, you will experience the unspoiled nature of the area and the traditional cuisine with a kayak excursion on the lake, followed by a relaxing tasting on the lake shore with local cheeses, meats and wine.

We booked our weekend stay at Villa Elena 1 year ago and have been looking forward to it ever since. Freddy and Elisa have been amazing to work with prior to our stay for our 26 person wedding at the Villa. They are incredibly communicative and exceeded all expectations. Freddy is an amazing chef and cooked all of the meals for us during our stay, including breakfast. The service and hospitality was unmatched. The photos very accurately represented the villa. The pool and yard area was perfect for our large group to hang out in. If you’re considering booking a large, romantic, Italian villa for any occasion, I’d recommend Villa Elena! Thank you Freddy!

We were a group of five families with young kids, who had travelled from the US, Australia and Cyprus to reunite as a combined unit at Villa Elena after several years of being apart, and to celebrate some milestone birthdays. The villa was perfect and an easy commute from central Rome. It accommodated us all so comfortably that we didn’t even need to leave the villa, for it had everything we needed….deliciously catered Italian fare by our host Freddy (breakfast, lunch and dinner), a super fun pasta cooking class hosted by Freddy, a well stocked wine cellar and bar, an enormous (though very deep) swimming pool, snooker table, ping pong table, grounds for kids to run about and play. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Freddy and Leo (Labrador) into the former family home and instantly felt very comfortable and at home. The villa was huge, with bedrooms galore and each with own ensuite so families could have their own space in need. Elisa helped us to curate our stay including arranging our various meals and our celebratory birthday dinner for a combined 40th and 70th. We all had such a blast and literally rolled out of there 10kg heavier after consuming so much good food and wine. Highly recommend.

My wife and I and 5 other couples stayed at Villa Elena recently while we attended the Ryder Cup in Rome. We had a fabulous time at the villa. It is a charming villa in a private gated community just 30 minutes outside of the center of Rome with beautiful bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms for each of the couples in our group, great indoor and outdoor space for everyone to be together (or alone if someone preferred), a fun kitchen with a wine vault and a lovely pool, gardens and outdoor bar/kitchen with pizza oven. The villa was well stocked with wine, beer, liquor, soda and snacks, and Freddy, the owner of the villa, was a delightful host, providing for all of our needs including a private chef for special dinners each evening. We could not have asked for a better experience and would definitely return.

Federico is the best host and this villa was, hands-down, the best part of our entire trip. We hosted a group of 15 photographers from around the world across 4 different countries/cities and Rome was our last stop (NYC, London, Paris, and Rome). We stayed here the longest and it was worth every penny. Freddy was so accommodating and welcoming, the villa had everything we needed (and when we didn't have something, he always offered to drive into town to the grocery store to get it for us so we wouldn't have to worry about arranging transportation for all of us). The villa is spectacular, so peaceful, but not too far out of Rome city central. Huge pool, giant outdoor eating space, and so much room in the house that it's perfect for large groups like we had. I cannot recommend this place enough. We are bringing our family back next year, we loved it so much!

The Villa was spacious and homely. The games room was perfect for the young ones, and the garden and outdoor swimming pool stunning! Our host Federico, was recovering from a recent biking accident, so his father was working alongside him. Anyone who manages to remove a pizza from the oven using one hand, being bandaged and on crutches at the same time, has my admiration. Pat cooked amazing breakfasts each day for our hungry crowd. Also the lunches and dinners were excellent. The pizza evening was very popular and we all had our favourites. A potato and a nutella pizza were a first for me! The hosts were always very helpful to arrange transport when needed, or dealing with last minute change of plans. Any requests ie Grampa asking for butter at breakfast, was no problem. We all had a relaxing and fun stay at the Villa. Many thanks Federico, family and team. Our very best wishes to Federico for a speedy recovery. We felt so, ' at home ' with all the kindnesses shown by you all. I would certainly recommend this venue for the perfect stay. Bravo! Sarah.

Villa Elena is beautiful and spacious both inside and out. It was the perfect home base for our group of seven couples. Federico is a wonderful host and an excellent chef. He managed several requests for and changes to car service for our group of 14. He also shopped for us stocking the kitchen and bar before our arrival. We thoroughly enjoyed his cooking class, barbecue and other fabulous meals! We loved meeting Federico, his lovely mother Elena and his sweet dog Leo. Highly recommend for any groups heading to Roma!

A Wonderful Villa Experience
A Wonderful Villa Experience
This villa and the grounds is very large. It more than took care or our group of 12.The bedrooms, bathrooms kitchen and common areas are tastefully decorated and perfectly equipped. The swimming pool is large and beautiful. The host Federico (Freddy) can shop for your groceries, arrange transportation,,set you up with touring companies and generally help you to have a wonderful stay. He is a trained chef who made the best pizza I have ever eaten.Other than cooking for you many of his services are done without charge except for what is being purchased. He is a caterer who buys his wine at better than retail pricing and he will pass that wine onto you for the same price! Buy the end of your stay you will think of him as a true friend which we all do. The combined rec room/ tv theater has play station 5 netflix and amazon in English together with billiards ping pong and foos-ball. Our kids and teens loved it. We highly recommend the property and Freddy (Federico) The Farris family
