Located in a nature reserve 6 km from Lake Bracciano, Residenza di Rocca Romana offers rustic-style rooms, houses, apartments and cottages set in renovated stone-walled buildings.
„Redidenzia Rocca Romana is probably the most idyllic place you will find. Perfect for romantic getaways, wedding and family holidays, it is the perfect place to accommodate all of your needs.
Located a 15 minute drive from the nearest village of Treviano, it is not far from the station of Cesano either. Arriving at the Cesano station from the airport or Rome is stress-free as there is a lift available to the hotel, if you prearrange. This is also available for getting into Treviano, although I recommend the 45minute walk through the regional park down to the lake front.
The hotel itself has the main building, a gorgeous grey stone house, built by hand 10 years ago. The rooms are both quaint and accommodating. The views over the surrounding hills, incredible. The rooms are perfect for couples or families and the beds... Well, the best sleep I've had in months. The pool is both spacious and safe. The water not overridden by the smell of chlorine, but rather the smell of the trees surrounding it.
However, this place can be defined by three things. Firstly, the food. The breakfasts are filling and fresh, with the options varied and rich. Each evening, for the small sum of €25 each, you are served a 4-course meal, including wine and water. (a very good deal, considering the prices in town) The starter is usually light, the first course, a pasta, the second, a traditional italian regional dish, and the deserts, sweet. Both my partner and I agree that this is the best food we have ever eaten, incredibly filling and that you go to bed with the happy contented feeling of being both warmed and full, if a little giggly from the wine.
The second defining feature is the location. Lago di Bracciano and its accompanying rich, forested hills, are arguably the eden on earth. Watching the sun set over the lake is like watching your red food dye dropped in water, the colour spreads across the sky, shadowing the hills and forestry, turning the lake the most glorious shade of gold.”
