Altavista is a tasefully decorated, two bedroom holiday rental home with splendid views of the valley in the direction of the Mediterranean Sea (more precisely the Tyrrhenian Sea).
Gracious balcony for aperitifs, fully equipped kitchen (dish washer, oven, washing machine, large fridge), romantic fireplace, ideal home for those seeking a safe, comfortable, centrally located holiday home in a historic town. Free parking is nearby, but not right in front of the house, so guests are required to walk a little (usually not a problem since guests walk in other places as they do site seeing!); hiring a car is recommended because buses are not frequent. To help with this, there are agencies which rent cars (or cars with a driver) here in Palestrina. If you have a lot of time and patience, then public transportation is a valid option.
Palestrina's Archaeologic museum is literally just around the corner, and many more historic and archeologic sites are nearby, as well as medieval castles, the majestic villas of Tivoli and numerous elegant palaces; within a short drive you'll find Magicland amusement park (owner can provide discounted tickets for park entry) and outlet shopping at the Valmontone Fashion District (owner can provide a discount card for extra savings when you shop). Guidonia's AcquaPiper waterpark and Tivoli's pools are a 30 minute drive away; the city of Rome and the beaches of Lazio are all within reach and make for great day trips.
There is free WIFI in the house, as well as many guide books, maps and brochures illustrating what there is to do, eat and visit in the area.
Altavista is located in Palestrina, which is a beautiful hill town just outside of Rome. The cobblestone streets, historic homes, little shops with traditional products, various archeological areas and local events and festivals, make this the perfect destination for those who want to really get to know Italy, taste authentic food and have a true cultural experience. Altavista is close enough to Rome to make easy day trips, but it also offers the safety and tranquility of a quiet, relaxing holiday home at an excellent price.
