clean, big and cozy house in the hills of trevignano romano - the most beautiful city from the ones surrounding lago bracciano. The home feels luxorious without losing the italian flair we are definitely planing a trip back here

We had a good time in Bracciano. Tess helped us a lot with information (there is also a book with everything you need to know, restaurants, points to see, etc), she was always available and answered within minutes. The location is nice, close to the village, shops and restaurants but you need the car for almost everything, specially if it's hot. There are some nearby beaches, private and open. The house is big enough for a family like ours ( 5 Person) and quite comfortable, I wouldn't call it luxurious. The kitchen corner is like described in the ad, small but functional. We missed the dishwasher. I found a bit odd that we had to pay for electricity and gas, so careful with the air conditioning. We didn't use it as we were out during the day and we opened all the windows at night to cool down. There should be a minimum use of electricity& gas included in the price and the rest extra. The biggest problem was the open air cinema, it was extremely loud making it difficult to sleep, and it happened almost everyday. It started at ca 8.15 pm and sometimes at 12.00 pm was still on. Otherwise we loved having breakfast and dinner at the terrace ( with lots of mosquito spray) and we enjoyed one day the jacuzzi, we had a lot of fun.

Great place with amazing lake views. We spent almost 30 days and would like to come back some day.

This really is a lovely, well designed home and much bigger in reality than we expected from the images on the site – we are a family of six and we had plenty of space to relax. The views from either of the two patios that face the lake are spectacular and the third covered seating area in the back garden is a quiet shady sanctuary. Having two bathrooms next to each other seemed a little odd but with six people staying it worked well. By today's standards the kitchen area is a bit snug but its relatively new and the clean style fits in well with the impressively large living room. The fridge is a little modest for a large family but in my experience having a larger one just means there’s more to throw away at the end of a stay. The downstairs bedrooms are generous and tastefully furnished – the ceiling/roof of the upstairs bedroom does slope down to one side so getting up in the dark without crouching is not advised. The House Manager Tess was excellent – answering our questions about the area and getting things fixed quickly when needed. The town centre of Trevignano Romano is traditional and unspoilt with lovely lakeside restaurants. It wasn’t busy when we stayed in late June – although it gets more lively with events taking place on the weekends in peak season. The train station in Bracciano was 20 minutes drive away with a direct line to Rome. The coast is also pretty close too, the beach at Santa Severa took a little over an hour to reach by car. There’s a couple of medium sized supermarkets in the town also. We really enjoyed our stay at the villa and I‘d like to give it top marks but I’m offering an objective view and I have to mention a few things – not least the hill. As stated in a previous review, the house is near the top of a hill – by car it's a short twisting climb in first gear. We walked up and down it a few times and it really wasn’t as bad as expected but I wouldn’t like to do it with two heavy bags in the midday heat so driving to the shops is essential. Its quiet and peaceful up there and there’s often a gentle breeze blowing – It all depends how you feel about hills. At the time we stayed the temperature was in the mid 30°c every day and use of the air-conditioning was essential at night but be warned – its expensive so use it sparingly. Theres a local recycling scheme that seems a bit crazy but you soon get used to it. Nowhere is ever going to be perfect but for what we wanted, this villa comes pretty close.

Sehr schönes Haus – schöne Lage – schöner Garten – schönes kleines Dörflein – alles gut! Wir haben ein Knöllchen bekommen (natürlich nur wir – die italienischen Fahrzeuge nicht 🙄😊) und Tess hat sich für uns darum gekümmert. Vielen Dank hierfür noch einmal.

Can't fault the views, they are stunning all day and night. They come at a cost....the hill is a first gear climb all the way up in a car which gives you some idea of just how steep it is and being an Italian road it is not in great condition. The walk into the town centre is only 10 minutes but the beach area is another 10 minutes walk. In the summer that makes it too far to walk to in my mind and that with fit older kids. Walking back at night is ok but you need 30 minutes to cool down when you get back. The villa itself is functional but not luxurious. The air con is effective but not cheap( its on a meter so make sure you turn it off during the day). The finish isn't bad, there are a few dodgey looking electrical sockets including one in the shower room. The plugs are all a strange 3 pins in a vertical line which do not take euro plug adapters. There is only one in the whole property that takes a standard euro convertor plug which makes life a real pain with modern phones/ipads etc that need regular charging. The fridge is small with a small freezer section which makes keeping drinks cool a daily chore and if you are cooking at the villa its capacity is soon reached. The lower floor is in the process of being converted and contains the sheets for the next occupants hanging across the room which I found a little odd. The recycling system requires daily putting out and collecting of bins which isn't something I want to think about when on holiday. The beds were very comfortable and Tess was very helpful on arrival/departure. there are some very nice lakeside restaurants in the town. We particulary liked the Rustica and The Ballon. Didn't rate the La Casina Bianca but it was packed with locals so what do I know. Getting to Rome was easy, short lakeside drive to Angulara, track down the train station that is nicely hidden and not signposted...ticket machine takes its time so allow time and don't forget to stamp your ticket before getting on the train or get your tickets on line with the trainline-eu app. About 8 euros for 4 of us to the stops near the Vatican where you can pick up a connecting metro service for the rest of Rome. All air conditioned and clean on the inside....Lots of security presence in Rome, Army and Police. All the external drinks vendors have been removed from outside the Colleseum so make sure you have plenty of supplies before your join the queues.

nice place to stay, the hosts are also nice.

Wir haben als Familie mit zwei Kindern drei Wochen in diesem Ferienhaus in Trevignano Romano verbracht. Sein größter Vorteil ist definitiv die tolle Lage: Man hat eine atemberaubende Aussicht über den Lago Bracciano, und die Position auf dem Hügel sorgt auch bei Temparaturen um die 40 Grad gelegentlich für ein erfrischendes Lüftchen. In einigen Fahrtminuten mit dem Auto erreicht man die Badestrände des Lago Bracciano, dessen glasklares Wasser für Kinder wie Erwachsene eine tolle Abwechslung bietet. Das Haus selbst ist ein hübsches Reihenendhaus in traditioneller Steinbauweise und war bei unserer Ankunft sauber und ordentlich. Die Küche ist zweckmäßig ausgestattet - allein den Geschirrspüler haben wir hin und wieder vermisst. Mit Hilfe der drei Klimageräte und des Ventilators lassen sich die Nächte auch bei August-Temperaturen angenehm gestalten. Auch der schöne Garten mit seiner liebevoll gestalteten Pergola ist ein Genuss. Last but not least sorgt die wohl in der Nachbarschaft lebende Katze, die uns gleich nach unserer Ankunft mit Beschlag belegt hat, für zusätzliche Sympathiepunkte. Das von unseren Vorrezensenten erwähnte Open-Air-Kino haben wir ebenfalls noch für einige Tage mitbekommen, haben es aber nicht als störend empfunden. In jedem Fall möchten wir das Haus aber nur Reisenden empfehlen, die mit einem eigenen fahrbaren Untersatz anreisen. Obwohl es von der Ortsmitte zum Haus nur etwa 10 Minuten Fußweg sind, dürfte der Weg vom täglichen Brötchen holen ohne Auto für die Meisten wegen des steilen Hügels zu anstrengend ausfallen. Special thanks go to our host Tess, who warmly welcomed us in this holiday home, showed us around and was available for questions at any time. It was a true pleasure meeting you, and we hope to see you again soon!

Das Ferienhaus liegt wirklich wunderschön und man hat einen entsprechend tollen Ausblick auf den See. Wir wurden sehr herzlich von Tess begrüßt und es gestaltete sich alles wunderbar unkompliziert! Die Terrassen laden zum faulenzen und entspannen ein - wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt! Lediglich "geh-faul" darf man nicht sein - es ist schon ein Stück in den Ort runter - und nochmal ein schönes Stück zum ersten Badestrand. Tagsüber sind wir mit dem Auto unterwegs gewesen - weil das einfach zu heiß gewesen wäre (teilweise über 40 Grad). Abends bekommt man im Ort kaum Parkmöglichkeit, so dass wir zu Fuß gegangen sind. Der Weg zurück zum Haus ist dann doch recht steil bergauf und zieht sich - aber so wird man die Kalorien, die man beim Abendessen zu sich genommen hat, auch gleich wieder los :) Das Haus selbst ist sehr schön - auch schön eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Die Küche bietet alles Notwendige. Einzig und allein die allabendlichen Freiluftkino-Veranstaltungen waren für uns ein kleiner Wermutstropfen - das hallte sehr laut bis zum Haus und ging bis ca. Mitternacht, so dass in dieser Zeit kein "stilles Genießen" auf der Terrasse möglich war. Tess hat uns am Ende mitgeteilt, dass dies aber wohl nur in unserer Woche so war - da hatten wir halt ein bisschen Pech. Abgesehen davon hatten wir aber eine wirklich schöne Woche in diesem Haus.

Deze zomer waren we drie weken in Italië. Voor onze derde week hadden wij dit huis gehuurd. Het modern ingerichte huis is prachtig gelegen, beschikt over twee complete slaapkamers, en een slaapplaats onder de nok van het dak. Deze laatste slappplek beschikt dan wel weer over een eigen terras! Het huis heeft een grote buitenruimte, ligt vlak boven het meer en bevindt zich op drie kwartier van het dichtsbijzijnde strand. Wij waren er in de week dat de temperatuur naar de 40 graden liep. We bevelen de eigenaar aan om ook de twee slaapkamers van eigen airconditioning te voorzien.

We had a wonderful week in this tastefully designed villa; three adults and three teenagers. A nice garden with adorable cats visiting every evening. Additional stars to Tess, our service minded local contact.

We (4 adults and 1 toddler) spend a wondeful time in the beautyful country house Regina del Lago in Trevignano Romano. The location is perfect and so beautiful: you have a splendid seaview from every place in the big garden and from nearly every room in the house. The house is lovingly furnished in every detail and the kitchen is full equipped. The best place is the roofed lounge in the garden - very "gemütlich" as we say in Germany. The garden is enclosed so children can't run away. The house is located on a steep hill over the lake. You can walk to the old town and the waterside promenade in about 15 minutes (down) or 20 minutes (up). In the evenings that is a good idea, but I wouldn't try the climb up at noon on hot summer days. With our little child we always took the car (5 minutes). There are nice beaches in Trevignano just a footpath from the city center. The custodian was very friendly and helped us with every need or question. She speaks perfect both english and italian.
