HOTEL VILLA CLEMENTINA

Description:
It is difficult to give this location its proper due. Beautiful, special, even exceptional… You can read these recommendations anywhere. But we cannot find different words for it. We do mean what we say and hope that you can judge this from our complete website. We chose the best, and only recommend accommodations on our website when we have been there ourselves. So sometimes, we cannot help but repeat ourselves.

Hotel Villa Clementina deserves the adjectives beautiful, special and, even, exceptional!
This hotel is situated at about 40 km. distance of Rome, close-by the lake of Bracciano and the ancient little city of the same name, with the imposing castle of the Italian noble family Orsini. Rural beauty, peace and quiet but so close to the eternal city of Rome that you can get there within 45 min. driving. What a wonderful way of combining city life in all its aspects and get back to an oasis of rest!

Hotel Villa Clementina exists of a main building and several additional buildings, from which a path leads to a lower situated swimming pool and then yet lower situated tennis-courts, whilst all is surrounded by absolutely beautiful gardens with flowers , trees, shrubs and groves.
The hotel has only eight rooms and just because of the small-scale of this enterprise, all guests can be assured of a very personal attention. The owner, Dimitri Bonetti, is an artist, who has put, as it were, “ his soul and salvation” into the very personal paintings and decorations of each individual room. The Etruscan style has his preference. He gives courses in the beautiful art of painting in water colours, and prefers to lead his pupils into the unspoilt surroundings to exercise. The restaurant, with Dimitri’s spouse in the kitchen, specialises in the local kitchen and she is every bit an artist as her husband in her specialisation! But in case you would only want a pizza, you will be treated to a very special one according to you wishes, cooked on an old fashioned wood-oven. And in case you prefer to taste your pizza outside, on one of the terraces: it can be taken care of! All the personnel and Dimitri’s father, Fausto, too, do their utmost to make the guests feel wanted and at home.
The garden has several palm-trees, and many sweet-scented plants and bushes, providing you with exotic shade during the hot summer months.
Apart from the obvious combination of restful surroundings close-by the capital, this accommodation is also a very good choice for, by example, a group of friends wanting to combine lessons in painting in water colours with the big city life, or for partners of those who do business in Rome.

Possibilities for sport/excursions:
On the lake, motorboats are forbidden. The water is as clear as glass and the local authorities strive to keep it that way. You can, however, windsurf and sail. Riding at 2 km. distance, golf at 15 km. All the villages and little towns around the lake of Bracciano are very worth while visiting, but Bracciano itself, with the Orisini castle, should come first.
