Proprietaria cordiale e gentile , ci ha fatto sentire come a casa

The flat is charming, home-like, and brilliantly located. Extremely nice hosts who met us as early as I requested (2pm) and though they speak no English I had my Italian sister there. All the same, everything is very easy. Got our own breakfast things from local bakery & grocers, but it was really nice to find real coffee and teabags provided, along with choice of coffee maker (pods and a Moka express). It's equipped exactly as a good holiday home should be, with all you need to cook, a dishwasher (we didn't use it), an oven, gas hob and pretty floral scheme so you do feel you are not in a hotel or bnb. A detailed system of bins which I hope we understood - Italy seems to be serious about domestic waste recycling. The main room has a firm mattress (as I like), high-quality white cotton sheets, and extra duvets and 'memory foam' pillows as alternatives, plenty of hanging and drawer space for clothes. Bathroom has simple but effective shower (not power, straight from the excellent hot water supply), bidet, shelving units, plenty of perfectly clean white towels, and is abundantly stocked with toiletries and pretty accessories. Heating system very easy to adjust up or down. Full length windows have automatic roll down shutters (standard everywhere, it seems). The location in old Frascati is fab, little narrow streets around the cathedral and several other churches. Quite exclusive fashion and leather shops and a pharmacy a couple of doors down. The station is 5 mins walk (with steps), and Rome is 30 mins away/ cost about 2 euros, on the direct train. Though check timetable as it appears to be hourly but actually misses out some mid morning hours. The access to Rome is fabulous, and Frascati itself has a rather historic and exclusive charm, with an huge and grand villa/palace high up on the hill still occupied by a prince, it seems. Nice bonus was that Christmas decorations were still up everywhere.

The only drawback of being central in the little old quarter is the noise from people in restaurants around which went on till about 1 am Friday/Saturday but that seemed to be the worst night. If you want high tech modernism this isn't the place for you, but everything works just as you need.
