Nestled in the picturesque Roman countryside in Monterotondo, the Casa del Girasole is a newly built facility that offers a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. With well-furnished and bright rooms, guests can enjoy a unique experience thanks to three double rooms equipped with private bathrooms, complemented by a spacious 45 square meter lounge where breakfast is served during the cooler months. When the weather is pleasant, guests can enjoy their breakfasts outdoors on the terrace, surrounded by greenery.

On the lower floor, a comfortable quadruple room with two bathrooms provides an ideal welcome for families or groups of friends. Each room features French doors that open onto the villa's porch, creating a harmonious connection with the outdoors, perfect for those who wish to take advantage of the moments of tranquility that the surrounding nature offers.

The Casa del Girasole is not just a place to rest, but also an opportunity for rejuvenation. Guests have access to a cozy gym where yoga can be practiced, thanks to the expert guidance of Maurizio, a teacher recognized by the Italian Yoga Federation. Every morning, a hearty breakfast ranging from continental options to vegan and gluten-free choices provides the right start to the day, allowing guests to enjoy fresh and excellent products.

Located just 20 km from Rome, this residence is perfectly connected to the eternal city and Fiumicino Airport, accessible via a convenient train that departs every twenty minutes. The proximity to Monterotondo, a town with roots in the historic Eretum, offers the opportunity to explore the rich cultural heritage of this area, once an important outpost between Romans and Sabines.

Nearby, just a short walk away, is the restaurant-pizzeria Casa Ruggeri, famous for its stunning view and delicious pizza menu, all at a great price. The Casa del Girasole therefore presents itself as an ideal retreat for those looking for a stay focused on relaxation, culture, and gastronomy, discovering the wonderful tradition of the Roman countryside.

Thanks for the beautiful review I hope to see you here since you spent only a night without seeing Rome either Ciao

john

Maurizio made our trip to Rome for the Ryder Cup an absolute joy. The kindness he showed us was wonderful. We visited places, ate and drank where only locals would know. It was so much fun, we were treated so well, everywhere we went. I would recommend a visit to Casa del Girasole for all. I cannot wait to go back. Thank you Maurizio. Cheers. John from Calgary.

Our host Maurizio was extremely helpful and welcoming. This nice property and the exceptional hospitality made our trip a success. We came from Canada to attend the Ryder Cup. He picked us up at the Monterotondo train station, helped us to acquire a rent car, gave us many great restaurant and trip suggestions. We felt right at home at Casa del Girasole!

Just 30 minutes from Rome we stayed with a panoramic view in a quiet and peaceful place. Comfortable bed, good and plentiful breakfast, and the host Maurizio was very welcoming.

Great structure! The host is friendly and helpful! Recommended! I cannot evaluate the breakfast (I give it 7) as I did not have it due to the departure time. However, Maurizio still offered us coffee.

If you are a family looking for a pleasant and quiet area to rest after a day spent in the chaotic center of Rome, Casa del Girasole in Monterotondo is the right place. In addition to the warm welcome from the property, you can count on comfortable, tidy, and above all clean rooms equipped with sanitary facilities. The rooms are furnished with retro-style furniture fully in harmony with the surrounding countryside. The view that can be admired from the terrace or garden of the villa is typical of the hills of the Roman district, and you would not think for a moment that the largest city in Italy and the capital is just a 20-minute drive away. After a lifetime (even though I live in the countryside) in the evening, I saw the fireflies again: my daughters had never seen them before. For a weekend or even a week of vacation, I believe it would be hard to find better.

Grazie per la bella recensione Un saluto Maurizio

A structure immersed in greenery with breathtaking views, a timeless tranquility and exquisite hospitality from the owner Maurizio who welcomes you with grace and courtesy making you feel like his guest! And what can I say about the birthday cake at breakfast! A delightful surprise!

I stopped for a break and especially to break up the journey. My family and I have always settled for little, but now with the dog we have some need for more space and this place was ideal. Quiet area and very kind and helpful owner.

Well-organized and well-managed family-run property by Maurizio, a friendly and polite person. Always available for any need. Abundant and pleasant breakfast on a communal table. Offers what you would expect from a typical bed and breakfast. Enchanting view amidst green, peace, and tranquility. Great price. Remote location but convenient to reach many places like Lunghezza, Tivoli, the center of Rome, the center of Monterotondo within half an hour by car. If we were to return, we would definitely choose it again with pleasure.

massimo

The location is excellent, the manager is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are very spacious. If I have to make a point, just a bit more cleaning, some cobwebs, and checking before the guests' entrance that everything is in place and nothing is missing. For the rest, it's ok, even with the price. We will return.

The welcome from Maurizio was warm, as if we had known each other forever, he even solved a small problem with the mobile phone. The house has a charming view. Definitely recommendable.

The structure is clean and well maintained in a quiet and peaceful location, which, however, should be better highlighted. The manager is a great person, kind and polite. However, if I have to make a note, which would have given the highest rating for breakfast, is that he never let us taste the 'famous' croissants from a renowned pastry shop in Monterotondo. B&B to recommend.

We couldn't have chosen better: beautiful place, nice structure, very clean, amazing view (over the Roman hills), peace and tranquility, impeccable management with the total availability of Mr. Maurizio, unmatched quality/price ratio. Thank you so much. P.S.: Our dogs thank you for the hospitality.
