About this condo rental

Nestled in Bracciano, this charming condo for $46 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. Located in the 'centro storico' of the historically important town of Bracciano & adjacent to the 14th Century Castle Odelscalchi, the charming spacious 120 sq metre 'Casa la Castellana' occupies the entire floor of a small 14th Century building and has a private entrance onto a small, quiet piazza. We would like you to think of our apartment as your home away from home rather than a rental property. Our heart went into the restoration of our apartment. It features a large living-dining room with antique stone fireplace, beamed ceilings, and terracotta tiles, a dining table which seats 8 and a fully equipped blue/white tiled country kitchen. Each of two bedrooms has two twin beds and a view of the village below. There are two sofa beds in the living room. From the apartment street door can be viewed the castle tower and the Duomo of Saint Steven. It's just 150 meters from the apartment down a short street to the main castle square with its shops and restauraants of all kinds. A colourful country market takes place on Wednesdays in the town centre. Swimming & windsurfing on Lake Bracciano are a 20 minute walk away through the woods, and horseback riding, golfing, biking, & hiking in the countryside are close at hand (forest of Manziana 10 minutes by car). Bracciano is an authentic, a very Italian town of historical importance in a beautiful country surrounding with the lake at the bottom of the hill and Rome at 'a stone's throw' so to speak. What could be more wonderful. It is not an overrun tourist resort. The town atmosphere is unrushed, the townsfolk pause to chat on street corners, the local craftmen take pride in their work, the farmers bring their produce into the open air market under the castle moat, the shopkeepers know their customers on a first-name basis. Bracciao has a healthy idyllic environment. The air is not polluted, the parking is not desperate. The bell inthe church tower marks the quarter hour. But when it's big city action you seek, Rome (St Peters) is just down the track 55 minutes away by convenient commuter train which runs every 30 minutes.

We enjoyed our five days in Bracciano. The apartment was well equipped and has a nice view over the town. There are plenty of cafés and restaurants close by. Highly recommended.

Linda was an incredible host and this location is fantastic for any stay in Bracciano. The apartment is easily accessible from the train station and is nestled just below the iconic castle of the town. Restaurants, shops (including grocery stores), and churches are right outside your door and the lake is not too far of a walk. The apartment itself is very clean and comfortable with adequate space for our party of three. This stay is an easy recommendation.

We stayed in this beautiful apartment, and it was large enough for a family of 6. The location could not be more central, it is right near the historic castle. The walk to the lake is about 20 minutes downhill. The host was very responsive and helpful.

We decided to stay in "Casa la Castellana" because of all the previous reviews and our expectations were exceeded. Linda helped us to get a taxi from FCO to Bracciano and gave us a warm welcome and lots of information about the area when we arrived at the apartment. The location of the apartment is perfect and the apartment is just as charming as you can see in the photos (trust all previous positive reviews). Communication with Linda before, during and after our stay was always very easy, fast and pleasant. There are a few things I wanted mention/update because of previous reviews: - the wireless Internet was completely reliable even for 4 people incl. 2 teenagers being online at the same time - the AC was adequate and sufficient during one of the hottest summers in European history - the beds in the bedrooms were comfortable (we didn't use the pull out function of the sofas) We will definitely recommend the place to friends and family and hopefully come back ourselves. Thank you, Linda!

We had a great week and a half in Bracciano and the apartment was so convenient and comfortable. Linda was great to communicate with and was very fast to fix a small issue we had. Bracciano is a lovely town with a programme of events during the summer including opera held in the castle (which is stunning!) There are plenty of lakeside activities and also plenty of interesting towns within a short driving distance. Access to Rome via train is also straightforward. The food is excellent and so are the gelati!
