Stylish Country villa set within lovely gardens

This well-equipped traditional country house has been decorated in the finest Architectural Digest style - and has in fact been featured in several home decor magazines. Its Roman owner spends considerable time here and so her attention to detail is evident throughout.

Il Giardinetto is most conveniently located for active travelers and is flexible enough to suit a variety of small and mid-sized groups. Special attention has been given to the garden, which takes on a different character with each season–flowers in spring, vegetables in the summer and lettuce and herbs in the fall.

Available in 8 person (Main house) and 10 person (Main and Guest houses) configurations.
