A Private, Family-Owned Villa Just Outside Rome

Make Your Dream Vacation in Italy a Reality

Stay in your very own BnB. Tucked into the hills of the Castelli Romani (Roman hill towns), Casale Sonnino is a restored 18th-century villa built over 2,000-year-old Roman foundations. Surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, the “Casale” (farmhouse) offers “full service” accommodations. Perfect for extended families, couples sharing, remote work teams, and friend & small-group travel. Enjoy true “dolce vita” country living, 30 minutes by train to Rome.

There are few places on earth that are as special as Casale Sonnino. The charm comes from the wonderful family and their love for this home and land. The history is incredible and worth a stay for sure. I look forward to our next trip with our children and grandchildren!

Our Home

More Than a Villa — Our Home Is Your Home

Casale Sonnino is not a managed resort or an investment property. It is a privately owned, family-run estate, lived with, cared for, and preserved by the Sonnino family for generations.

Our unique vacation villa is meant for gathering, celebrating, and sharing the good things in life. For over 40 years, we have welcomed travelers from all over the world into the continuum of history and land stewardship, while giving each guest room to make their own adventures and memories.

At the Casale, you receive the key to the front door, the buzzer to the gate, and the freedom to feel truly at home.

The Region​

Location, location, location!

Settle into your home base away from the tourist crowds, yet easily accessible to Rome and all that it has to offer. Bustling piazzas, winding streets, architecture, art, ancient history, restaurants, gelato, and shopping — the Eternal City has it all.

Casale Sonnino is located at the foot of Monte Porzio Catone and just minutes from Frascati, the regional center of the Castelli Romani. From the time you hop in your car, park, and ride the train, you can arrive at Rome’s Termini station in less than an hour.

Return each evening to the quiet comfort of the countryside.

The Experience

Live Like a Local at Rome’s Doorstep

Imagine a typical day at the Casale. You wake up to the smell of Italian coffee and the breakfast table laid out. You gather your family and friends, nibble on local cookies and danishes, laugh about yesterday’s escapades, and scheme about the day’s adventure.

Ask your host to help with reservations at a favorite local restaurant for dinner upon your return. Spend the day discovering charming Frascati, Castel Gandolfo, Nemi, Tivoli, Lake Albano, or Rome itself.

There is plenty to see and do, delicious food and wine to enjoy, and off-the-beaten-path charm and vistas to discover. Benvenuti — welcome all.

Unique home that made our Italian holiday so special

My family and I stayed in the beautiful Casale for 6 days in April and it was an incredible experience. The six of us were bowled over by the beauty of the country house, vineyards and location, and the warm hospitality of George and the Casale staff. We were greeted on arrival by a delicious meal coupled with fantastic Casale Sonnino wine, and every day a wonderful breakfast was laid out for us.

The location was so convenient for exploring the surrounding sights, and we particularly enjoyed visiting Lake Albano, Frascati and Tivoli. It is also only a few minutes drive from two train stations where it takes only 30 min to get to Rome Termini - so convenient and affordable. This really felt like we were staying in a home, not just a house - all of the little details made it a special experience.
