It has spectacular views all round and especially from the guest rooms and roof terrace. We have a swimming pool in the ornamental gardens. Stunning views across the Tiber Valley and the surrounding hills. All rooms have original beamed ceilings, white-washed walls and old terracotta floors.

Notes on accommodation
Breakfast is served either in the dining room or on the roof terrace with a choice of Full English Breakfast, fruit, cereals, tea, coffee, fruit juice etc. The guest lounge has beamed ceiling and old terracotta floor with a traditional open fireplace. There are plenty of books, videos, and games. We have wireless broadband Internet connection and offer you free use of a laptop if you wish to access the Internet or send and receive emails, or we can provide you an access code to use your own.
Accessibility
Villa Rosa is currently unsuitable for the disabled as all our accommodation is above ground level, with no lift. Plans have been passed to convert the stables on the ground floor into an apartment and this will then be suitable for those with limited mobility.

Beautiful gardens with olives, vines, duck pond, small orchard and plenty of seating areas. On the first floor we have a panoramic south-facing roof terrace 8m x 5m overlooking the Tiber Valley where breakfast is served if the weather is fine, which it usually is! Small outdoor swimming pool for a pre-breakfast or pre-dinner dip. Outdoor table tennis.
