The space The Space: Discover the "Alba" Apartment at Villa La Giulia Welcome to the "Alba" Apartment, your spacious oasis of peace within Villa La Giulia.

With large, bright spaces, the apartment comfortably accommodates up to 6 people, ensuring privacy, relaxation, and great moments of conviviality. Here is how your exclusive spaces are laid out: 🌿 The Superb Private Patio (80 sqm) The true crown jewel for outdoor living enthusiasts! You will have an immense private covered veranda at your disposal, designed to enjoy the fresh air at any time of day. You will find a large main dining table (seating up to 12 people, perfect for big outdoor dinners), a second table for 6, and a comfortable lounge area with a sofa and two armchairs. It is the magical place to have breakfast bathed in morning light or sip a glass of wine at sunset. 🍳 The Large Kitchen with Fireplace and Brazier It's not just a fully equipped kitchen, but the warm, rustic heart of the house. In the center is a dining table for 6 (easily expandable to 12). The real treat our guests love? A charming indoor fireplace/brazier: you can all sit around the fire and eat in an unforgettable, convivial atmosphere, experiencing authentic country villa living. 🛋️ The Spacious Living Room The living area is completed by a spacious and welcoming lounge, ideal for relaxing in the evening. It is furnished with two large sofas and a comfortable armchair, all arranged in front of a beautiful ornamental fireplace, creating the perfect environment to read, chat, or simply unplug. 🛏️ The Sleeping Area (Ground Floor and First Floor) The apartment is spread over two levels to ensure maximum comfort for the whole group: Ground Floor: You will find a bright double bedroom served by an adjacent full bathroom, ideal for those who prefer the convenience of avoiding stairs. Upper Floor (The Master Suite): Going up, you will be welcomed by a magnificent master double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. The absolute luxury of this room is its exceptional panoramic view: opening the windows, your gaze sweeps seamlessly from the lush green countryside all the way to the blue of the sea. Atrium and Smart Working Area: Also on the upper floor, in the large atrium outside the main bedroom, we have created a lovely private sitting area. Here you will find a sofa, a comfortable desk/work table (perfect for those who need to do smart working in total peace), and the space where 2 comfortable additional single beds are set up to reach the 6-guest capacity. 🍋 The 1-Hectare Fenced Park: Olive Grove, Citrus Orchard, and Nature Villa La Giulia is an exclusive estate divided into three independent units. All the indoor spaces and the large 80 sqm patio just described are for your totally exclusive use. The real magic, however, awaits you outside. The villa is surrounded by an immense and safe green space of 1 hectare, fully fenced. Strolling through the park, you will be enveloped by the scents and colors of nature: you will admire beautiful ornamental trees, a lush olive grove (from which we produce excellent olive oil), and a fantastic citrus orchard full of lemons, oranges, citrons, clementines, and much more. In addition to your patio, you will have your own dedicated garden areas, while the rest of this magnificent park is shared in serene harmony with us, the hosts (we live in the basement with our family, ready to help you discreetly), and with any guests of the second apartment ("Tramonto"). There are no visual barriers in the garden: there is plenty of room to walk among the olive trees, breathe pure air, and enjoy tranquility for everyone! 🧺 Additional Included Amenities You will have access to a convenient (shared) laundry area and ample free parking within the fenced property. Logistical note: To fully enjoy this immersive nature experience and easily reach the sea, the train station (Rome is only 30 minutes away!), or the nearby UNESCO Etruscan Necropolis, a car is strictly essential. Guest access Guest Access: Your Exclusive Spaces and the Shared Park By booking the "Alba" Apartment at Villa La Giulia, we guarantee the perfect balance between absolute privacy and the freedom to experience nature. Here is exactly which areas you will have access to during your stay: 🏡 Your Exclusive Use Spaces You will have the keys and totally private access to all the indoor areas of the Alba Apartment. Outside, the magnificent 80 sqm covered patio (featuring dining tables, lounge seating, and the brazier) and its immediately adjacent garden areas are strictly reserved for your group. No one else will have access to them. 🌳 The 1-Hectare Park and Shared Areas You are warmly invited to explore the rest of our immense fully fenced estate! You can stroll freely through the greenery, relax in the shade of beautiful ornamental trees, walk through our olive grove, and lose yourself in the scents of the large citrus orchard (lemons, oranges, citrons). It is a green space designed for true rejuvenation. 🤝 Respecting Others' Private Areas (Golden Rule) Our one-hectare park is a fluid, open environment without internal nets or fences dividing the zones, precisely to preserve the beauty of the landscape. Since the villa consists of three units (your "Alba", the "Tramonto" apartment, and our family home in the basement), we invite you to fully enjoy the common spaces, with the sole courtesy of not invading the garden portions and patios exclusively reserved for the other two apartments. Mutual respect for these "invisible" boundaries ensures maximum tranquility and privacy for all guests. 🚗 Parking and Laundry Inside the property gates, you will have free access to the convenient complimentary parking and the laundry area, both shared spaces available to those staying at the villa. Other things to note Other things to note: Your perfect base among Nature, History, and the Sea Choosing the "Alba" Apartment means more than just staying in a beautiful country villa; it means having an unparalleled home base to explore the wonders of the Lazio region. Here are some useful details to make the most of your experience: 📍 What to explore nearby (Strategic Location) Having a car is highly recommended. From Villa La Giulia, you can easily drive to: 🌊 Sea and Coastline: You are just minutes from the beaches. Don't miss the beautiful protected nature reserve of Torre Flavia and the breathtaking Santa Severa Castle, which literally overlooks the sea. 🏛️ The Charm of the Etruscans and Historic Villages: You are in the heart of history! Visit the Etruscan Necropolis of Banditaccia (a UNESCO World Heritage site) and the National Etruscan Museum. Then, take a step back in time by strolling through the quaint historic center of Borgo di Ceri, with its beautiful Sanctuary of the Madonna di Ceri. ⛵ Lake Bracciano: A short drive away, you'll find this stunning volcanic lake. We highly recommend visiting the three picturesque towns surrounding it: Bracciano (with its famous Castle), Anguillara Sabazia, and Trevignano Romano. 🍃 Unspoiled Nature and Relaxation: Hiking and wellness lovers will adore the enchanting Cerveteri Waterfalls (Cascatelle), the magical trails in the Macchia Grande Woods in Manziana, and a rejuvenating dip in the warm thermal waters of the Ficoncella Hot Springs. 🚉 Rome without the stress: Want to visit the Eternal City without going crazy in traffic? The Marina di Cerveteri train station (equipped with parking) is just a few minutes' drive away. From there, frequent regional trains will take you directly to Rome St. Peter's (the Vatican) in just 26-30 minutes! 🌿 Authentic country life Absolute silence is the main character here. You will be immersed in greenery: this means breathing incredibly pure air, but also remembering to use the mosquito nets on the windows, as small bugs and cute little geckos are the natural inhabitants of this beautiful countryside. During your stay, you will stroll through our olive grove (from which we produce excellent zero-mile olive oil) and our citrus orchard, experiencing life in close contact with nature. 💻 Smart Working and Unplugging We offer an excellent Wi-Fi connection and dedicated spaces for remote work, but above all, we invite you to "unplug," combining productivity with the deep peace of the Roman countryside. We can't wait to help you discover the magic of this corner of paradise! Registration Details IT058029C2MN8KKDUO
