This home was perfect for our multigenerational family of 10 with comfortable beds for all and plenty of bathrooms. The kids enjoyed the ping pong table as well as the TV with Netflix access. The adults loved the hottub and proximity to beachside restaurants. Simonetta was great with communications and fulfilling special requests like bike rentals and baby needs. Fregene is a lovely beach town little known to western tourists but with close proximity to Rome and the airport. Our family would love to return one day to make more wonderful memories.

We had a wonderful stay in Simonetta’s villa! The communication with Simonetta was outstanding, really responsive and super helpful and great advice and tips! We really enjoyed our trip and definitely would consider coming back. The house was very comfortable, great accommodations in every room. In the Master Bedroom there is a great tub although take a shower was unexpected unless you use the downstairs shower. The jacuzzi and sauna were a very nice treat and overall we had a fabulous time and very comfortable stay. Thank you Simonetta, your a fantastic hostess and you made our trip a great success!! Thank you!!

This is a unique place to stay when site seeing in Italy. The chance to combine a recreational beach vacation with tourism is rare. Our hostess and her staff were particularly accommodating with helpful recommendations to assist with our interest in traditional tourism and access to points of interest rarely seen. We as a family highly recommend this villa for any age traveler.

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.

Siamo stati per una settimana in 3 famiglie presso Villa Simonetta che si trova in una tranquilla zona residenziale vicino a negozi e a pochi minuti dalla spiaggia. La villa e' dotata di ampio portico, bel giardino con barbecue, piscina privata; la casa e' molto accogliente , pulita, spaziosa dotata di ogni confort immaginabile, compreso vasca idromassaggio e sauna. La padrona di casa Signora Simonetta e' molto disponibile gentile e cortese . La cucina è molto funzionale. A disposizione anche la biancheria per cucina e camere da letto. Comprese anche 6 biciclette. Che dire di piu' ...... da rifare!!!

Avevo organizzato un fine settimana per L addio al nubilato di mia sorella sono inciampata per caso tra il sito di questa villa!!!! La padrona di casa è stata gentilissima ci ha portato a fare il giro di fregene e ci ha indirizzato verso i migliori posti, la casa è semplicemente stupenda curata nei minimi dettagli e rispecchia perfettamente i padroni!!! Siamo state lì in 12 donne e si sa che che accontentarle tutte insieme è difficile, dico solo che è bastato aprire il cancello!!! Complimenti!

Simonetta thanks a lot in helping to get our holiday off to a great start. We appreciated you driving us around the resort, pre-arranging bike hire for all the family and also providing lots of tips on what to see in Rome.
The Villa is superb with ample room for everyone, it is ideally placed and all amenities are within easy reach.. For anyone who wants to combine a Villa/Beach holiday with day trips into Rome then this is a perfect place

Simonetta made our experience more than wonderful by providing bikes for getting to the beach and around town and hooking us up with a personal chef for an evening. The house is very spacious and only 5-6 blocks to the beach and a huge assortment of beach restaurants. We went to Rome one day taking the train from Maccarese only a 20 minute train ride. We also took a sailing lesson on a Hobie Cat. Our family of eleven had a wonderful vacation!

A thoroughly pleasurable experience from start to end.
The property itself is very lovely, clean and well appointed in a quiet residential area. There is a supermarket and cafe and beach with restaurants within walking distance, although we did hire bikes to get about, which was a lot of fun.
We took a trip into Rome one day, which Simonetta (the villa owner) was very helpful with organising, including sorting out for us to be collected from the local train station by her Gardner, which was much appreciated.
The highlight of our stay was when Maurizio Guerrazzi (& Roberto ) came and taught us how to make and cook pasta, gnocchi, sauces and tiramisu. It was a hands on experience where we learnt lots, ate loads and laughed even more. So much so that they came again on another evening to prepare homemade pizza and fritta for us. This is a MUST DO experience if you’re staying in this area, they were such lovely people who made the whole experience such a fabulous memory.
All in all we’ve had a fabulous stay where the host couldn’t do enough for us.
