Lazio villas with pools, cottages to rent, holiday rentals, vacation homes for hire, luxury accommodation to let in Lazio. A quality villa selection from Villas Worldwide, the ultimate villa centre for Lazio villas.

It is only in the last few years that visitors have awoken to the attraction of renting villas with pools in the Lazio area, few have been disappointed. There is the obvious attraction of being near to Rome which can be easily accessed by train from most main towns.

Less obvious is the attractive coastline and the beautiful, sparsely populated rolling hills, volcanic lakes, mountains, ravines, vineyards and olive groves which lie to the north and south of Rome itself plus the wealth of Roman and Etruscan sites which lie amongst them.  

Lazio travel
There are two International airports serving the Lazio region, Ciampino (CIA) to the south and Fiumichino (FCO) also known as Leonardo di Vinci, to the north which make the Lazio region particularly accessible from many UK regional airports.

Lazio attractions
In the north at Bomarzo is the Parco dei Monstri, a 16th century sculpture park of fantastic creatures and monsters which is really enjoyable for both adults and children alike. Civitavecchia was once an Etruscan fortified port and today it is a fascinating village recently returned to the Italian people by the Vatican, it offers a delightful day out by the sea.

Another gem is the Etruscan acropolis at Cerveteri, it’s vast in scale and quite amazing to visit, again it is surprisingly enjoyable for children as well. Etruscan art is beautiful and the incredible mini pyramids are hugely atmospheric and surprisingly intact.

Lazio Weather
The Lazio weather is often warm and sunny, averaging 31 degrees centigrade in the summer holidays. It’s no surprise that grape vines grow so well here, and you will appreciate taking a dip in your villas pool, particularly after a day out.

Rome by Robert Hughes (hardback by Weidenfeld and Nicolson) has been described as a combination of gossip and fact. Dan Brown's Angels and Demons is a fast moving story with Rome at its heart, light reading, but interesting. Rome The Biography of a City by Christopher Hibbert features on the intellectual agenda.

Tom Hanks stars in the film adaptation of Angels and Demons and there are many remarkable images of Rome throughout the movie. Gladiator starring Russell Crowe brings the trials of the coliseum into stark, moving reality. 1959 film Ben Hur with Charlton Heston is the stand out old classic for chariot racing in Rome and Monty Python's Life of Brian surely one of the funniest movies to feature the Eternal city.

Our favourite restaurant for atmosphere and a good meal is La Cisterna which is one of the oldest restaurants in Rome.

Rome is fantastic for shopping and the principal areas to look out for are Via National, Via del Governo Vecchio, Via del Corso and Via Condotti. The food markets is at Campo de Fiore and there are more at Ponte Milvio and Trionfale.

The Lazio coastline has long sandy beaches and a number of well known seaside resorts such as Sperlonga, Sabaudia, San Felice and Circeo.
