LA PRETA NERA - STANZA KIHLGREN

Welcome to a charming traditional house in the heart of Giuliano di Roma, in Ciociaria. The village was built on top of the crater of an extinct volcano and the b&b name derives from the basaltic lava stone stone still now seen everywhere there. Just 90 km south of Rome and 30 from the beach, in an area of rolling hills and valleys, “La Preta Nera” is a place that will allow you to spend your holidays in a natural environment and in contact with the inhabitants of this small alive village. The village is surrounded by beautiful country side and woods where on request we can arrange excursions and barbecues under the stars, tasting the wine and other typical products of the region. Simplicity, hospitality and friendliness are our strengths to accommodate our guests! You will have access to your room and to all the common areas. You will just feel yourself at home enjoying a relaxing and intimate atmosphere. And in case you need any assistance, you can ask Sig.ra Maria Luisa. She takes care of the guests and you can find her any moment during the day time in her small mini-market situated just 10 metres outside the guest house. Giuliano di Roma is a small but lively village with narrow tortuous streets, charming small squares, centuries-old palaces that still retain a medieval air and grand views of the hills of Ciociaria. Start your day in with a breakfast in a local bar. It's an Italian habbit and is an easy way to meet locals and make new friends.
