We were two families with four adults and four children (16,14,12,8 years) who really enjoyed to stay at the La Ficoncella.
Despite our late arrival to the villa the host was patiently waiting at the house to give us a welcome and introduction to the facilities. It was a bit hard to find the house when we arrived despite an address since we arrived after sunset and there were hardly any lighting along the main road SP Aquarossa passing the villa.
The villa corresponded to our expectations, however you need to bring your own consumables like toilet paper, dish and washing detergents.
Bed linen and towels we found plenty of.
We used almost all equipment (stove,
oven, microwave, dish machine, washing machine, iron, hair dryer etc.) in the house and everything worked just fine!
The kids enjoyed feeding the fish and turtle in the aquarium!
Both adults and kids enjoyed using the basketball, table tennis, football games outside.
The surrounding in the garden with trees, flowers, fruit trees were very relaxing and a superb contrast to the more stressful visit to Rome.
The pool and pavilion were constantly used and appreciated by everyone and we ate all meals there.
We also used some of the bikes to get to Bagnaia centre. There is small supermarket (~1 km) in Bagnaia but since we had rental cars we more often went to the large mall Ipercoop in Viterbo (~4 km) for food.
Eating dinner we recommend Il Borgo in Bagnaia centre and the beautiful rural restaurant I Giardini di Ararat up in the hills (~5 km), make a reservation!
We made more distant trips to Rome (by train from Viterbo), Florence (by car), Ninfa Garden (amazing) in Latina and the charming mountain village Norma. Closer visits in Civita di Bagnoregio (wounderful!), lake Bolsena (nice bath in a volcanic lake) and Montefiascone nearby.
We also of course made visits in the midevil parts of Bagnaia and the beautiful gardens at Villa Lante, Viterbo and also found the waterfall Aquarossa just a few km from the house.
Thank you to Francesco/Stefania/Carlos(?) for the great hosting!! ❤
