Just shy of an hour outside of Rome, one stop past the popular city of Bracciano, you'll find Manziana and this little gem of a place. I was lucky enough to visit for an event recently, and I feel like my trip here will be hard to top.
The staff was very welcoming, we felt very well hosted and our every need was anticipated. Our party had the villa to ourselves, and it was truly magical to have our own place for our stay. Meals were abundant with the freshest and most flavorful ingredients - there's not a thing I disliked during my many meals there.
We could wander outside the gates to the small village of Manziana and enjoy some gelato, or even the summer festival that happened to be taking place when we were there. While the staff spoke excellent English, my Italian classes from long ago at college helped me navigate a few of the interactions that we had in town.
If you're lucky enough to have an event at Villa Clodia, I hope that you enjoy your stay there as much as I did! read more
