Our family just spent 10 wonderful days at Villa La Selvotta! We were a family of 12 ranging in ages from 2 to 56 years old. Everyone enjoyed our stay at the Villa from the wonderful meal prepared on our first evening to the beautiful grounds and swimming pool. The Villa was peaceful and relaxing and yet just a short drive to the train station for trips to Rome and beyond. Our children and grandchildren kept telling us that staying at the Villa only made their trip of a lifetime more memorable. We highly recommend the Villa La Selvotta.

Our family reunion was a huge success. We were 15 people ages from 5 to 75. Everybody loved the Villa and especially the amazing garden. We would come back any day.

We spent a week with our extended family at Villa La Selvotta. The villa itself and the surrounding park and garden exceeded all our expectations. It was absolutely beautiful. The private pool area and the soccer area was particularly enjoyed by the kids in our family. The garden was very spacious and well taken care of - we truly enjoyed spending our days there. The nearby villages offered astounding views and good meals. One evening we ordered a dinner by the tenants at villa. The food was delicious - especially the Vitello Tonnata and the Tiramisu! Great memories and definitely recommended!

Wir haben einen 50. Geburtstag mit 8 Erw. Und 7 Ki. Gefeiert. Alle waren total begeistert. Die Highlights: die Lage nahe Rom, Tivoli u. Den Castelli Romani mit Traumblick über die Stadt, der Garten mit Fußballplatz, die lange Tafel im Esszimmer, das Kaminzimmer. Das ganze Anwesen, auch die Zimmer und Bäder, sind top gepflegt und sehr gut ausgestattet. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Das allerbeste war der Service, da die Verwalter direkt auf dem Grundstück wohnen und quasi Tag und Nacht für Fragen zur Verfügung stehen. Am 50. Geburtstag haben wir das Menu von der Verwalterin kochen lassen, es war ausgezeichnet, wir hatten keinerlei Arbeit damit und konnten vor Ort bleiben. Sehr empfehlenswert!!!!

The house is so perfect! It fit our entire family in it, while leaving room for everyone to tuck away and hide when they wanted to. We cooked big meals, watched movies, played lots of soccer, and swam in the pool. There was no need to leave. Hope to come back here again soon!

Wir hatten eine Woche das Glück wie Könige im "alten Italien" zu wohnen! 8Personen Das Haus ist sehr empfehlenswert, viel altes Mobilijar (oder gerade deshalb)sehr gepflegt und sauber! Wunderschönes gepflegtes Grundstück! Großer super gepflegter Pool! Sehr nette Hilfe durch die Haushälterfamilie!Das Menu von der Haushälterin gekocht, super lecker und mehr als ausreichend! Päpstliche Gärten direkt neben an! Traumhafte Umgebung, Eigenes Auto ist von großem Vorteil, da die Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Restaurant, nächstes Stadt/Dorf, Bahnhof oder S-Bahnhof Anagina (13km), etwas weiter entfernt liegen! In 45 Min ist man am besten mit Zug oder S-Bahn im Zentrum Roms! Werden sicher wieder kommen, Das Haus ist sein Geld wert!

Wunderschönes Anwesen mit Park ähnlichem Grundstück. Sehr schöner Swimmingpool, großartiges Fußballfeld. Selbst Flutlicht wurde nicht vergessen. Das Haus innen Escher gleich, so dass man sich zu Beginn auf Wendeltreppen verirrte. Die Zimmer sind großzügig und fast allen haben ein privates Badezimmer. Küche etwas klein, dafür fehlt es an nichts. Sogar eine Nespressomaschine war da! Das Mobiliar etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber es lässt sich trotzdem entspannen. Internet nur im Erdgeschoss, doch dort funktioniert es perfekt.

We stayed at Villa La Selvotta for a week at the end of May 2014 to celebrate my 70th birthday. There were 14 of us comprising my grandchildren, my children and my wife and me. The Villa La Selvotta was the perfect venue for such an event with such a spread of ages, from 8 to 70. The villa comfortably accommodated everyone. For all of us but especially the children, the swimming pool and the large area around it was a big hit. So was the full sized footbal pitch! The Villa sits in its own very spacious grounds, some of which is natural woodland and the remainder, a large and well tended garden and lawns. On our arrival and again to celebrate my birthday we arranged for Maria Pia who is the housekeeper, assisted by her daughter Chiara, to prepare dinner for us. What delightful experiences they were. Roman cuisine at its best and enjoyed by every one of us. Thank you Maria Pia and Chiara for looking after us so well. Albano Laziale is well placed for the rail journey into Rome and also for visiting the other towns in the Castelli Romani area. Fausta, the villa owner, was very responsive to all our queries prior to our holiday. Her advice was invaluable and included the need for transport during the visit. Again she was correct. You need transport to visit the many local towns in the Castelli Romani and in our case, again on Fausta's advice, a visit to the ancient Roman site at Ostia Antica. When we left, our granddaughters were in tears and I wanted to reset the clock and start again. Many thanks Fausta

My family and friends rented this villa for a week to celebrate my 50th Birthday. What a beautiful home. All our needs were tended to and the villa owner was especially helpful in assisting us with our arrangements and providing us with maps and information about nearby places. While this vacation had many bumps along the way including trouble with our car rental breaking down, canceled/late flights, 100 degree weather and an an overbooked tour schedule, coming back to this villa at the end of every day was like being in paradise. The pool was an especially welcome amenity! I would highly recommend this villa. Albano Laziale was a great little town with Rome being easily accessible. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay for two weeks.

We arrived at night to a dark house, but oh so beautiful. The staff was there and took good care of us. The rooms were fine and especially the master bedroom. Almost all rooms have balcony, which we liked. The kitchen was a bit small but ok. The garden was lovely. Unfortunately, we went out in the dark when we arrived and one of the grandchildren fell from the lawn down to the football ground, a height difference of perhaps 3 m, and sprained his foot. A small fence there to warn of the height difference would have been good. There were lots of steps in the house but we liked the multi-story design since we were so many persons. We will never forget this fantastic week and would love to go back sometime.
