old fashioned house nicely located with a swimming pool and nice views
The situation of the house is perfect to explore roma and its surroundings : Must visits are roma (40'), lago di bracciano (40') with clearwater beaches, nice villages and restaurants, Tivoli (1h).
The city center of formello (5') is nice with all the things you need to get your supplies (supermarket, fruits and vegetables, groceries...) and you will find 2-3 nice restaurants with reviews on trip advisor.
When the weather is fine, you will mainly enjoy the swimming pool area with a dining table located nearby which will be perfect to enjoy breakfast, lunches, dinner, snacks and more !
You could also use an old fashioned but working BBQ and a wood oven to make your own pizzas mamamia !
Drawbacks of this house could be its Indoor equipment: No dishwasher which is a shame, mostly when you are a group of 10+ people... The lay out of the house looks very old which is normal for a family house but could be surprising for our generations. Lastly, the babyfoot is close to being out of order and would need to be replaced by a more robust and an adult model.
On the property live a house keeper with his family : They are very nice but could be invasive; they came each and every day of our stay and asked us to vacate the swimming pool 12h before our departure !
On the pro side, I would point out the fact that they prepared our meal when we arrived late from the airport and that they brought us fresh tomatoes from the garden.
Summary: Old fashioned house nicely located in the roman region. Improvements should be made by owners for the next renting period and the most urgent one is the dishwasher !
