La Legnaia Cottage

Situated in Grottaferratta in the Castelli Romani region, the summer retreat for Roman Emperors, Popes and the most notable Roman families, La Legnaia Cottage enjoys the best of two worlds;  close proximity to Rome with all its attractions, and the relaxation well known to the nobles. The cottage is within walking distance of restaurants, public transportation and shopping. The cottage is also close to Castel Gandolfo, the summer residence of the Pope that overlooks the volcanic crater lake known as Lake Albano. The nearby Tivoli offers thermal baths, the lovely Villa D’Este, known for its fountains, and Villa Adriana built by Emperor Adriano. Other close by attractions are Frascati and Marino, famed for their wines.

The cottage is surrounded by lush lawns, gardens, pine trees and olive groves where children can run and play for hours. Comfortable English styled furniture and lounge chairs decorate the exterior, allowing guests to relax and enjoy the Italian sun after a long day exploring Rome. The cottage also enjoys an al fresco dining area.

This recently renovated private cottage is finished in neutral tones, with handmade terracotta flooring and wooden ceilings.  The cottage has an independent heating system. The living room has comfortable couches around the fireplace which will keep guests warm on chilly evenings. A well equipped kitchen is within easy reach. The dining room seats up to 6 people.

There are two bedrooms in the cottage. One hosts a queen sized bed and the other two single beds. Both rooms have en-suite bathrooms and changing rooms.
