Wonderful Villa in a wonderful town
Villa Simonetta and the town of Fregene lived up to all our expectations.
The Villa had everything we needed. We were two families travelling together. It had enough room for us all to have our private space but could also accommodate everyone when we hung out together. We spent most of our time in the backyard. Adults around the large dining table and kids playing ping pong and taking a dip in the Jacuzzi hot tub (which was cooled down for the summer) - we also enjoyed the outdoor shower as a quick way to cool off when coming home.
The kitchen and bathrooms were well appointed. And the linens were high quality. The AC worked very well. Despite being at the Villa in August, we were very comfortable. Most days we just had the large sliding doors and windows open and this kept us cool.
The location of the Villa was perfect for us. We wanted a beach holiday with a few days in Rome. We rented bikes, but often just walked. Beach clubs were a 15 min walk and the town centre (with stores and restaurants) a 12 min walk. There is a well appointed grocery store 7 min walk and a cafe with gelato/coffee/baked goods a 5 min walk
We had an amazing dinner by chef Maurizio - very reasonably priced for what you get and the food was the best we had all vacation.
Make sure to use Maurizio the driver. His prices were cheaper than taxis and he was very nice and reliable.
Simonetta was a great host! Made us feel comfortable in her house and her town, and was easy to talk to.
