Sarah and Claudio went beyond the expectations of guesthouse hosts in offering us their warm hospitality, kindness and assistance during our brief stay with them. As my husband had the 'malaise', we needed help and TLC, and we couldnt have a chosen a better place to be. Their tastefully restored old 13century building decorated in classical style is located on the famous Via Cassia and overlooks interesting Etruscan archaeological sites, though sadly, we never got to experience them. Sutri is a small hilltop village across the road from the Etruscan Garden and worth a wander around to enjoy its charm & simplicity. Thank you both again!

Si tratta di un casale, ricavato da una chiesa-convento medievale il cui giardino confina con l'area archeologica di Sutri. Sulla via Francigena, con la città di Sutri alle spalle, l'anfiteatro romano e il tempio di Mitra davanti, l'abitazione ha caratteristiche straordinarie. I padroni di casa, Claudio e Sarah, mettono a disposizione degli ospiti una parte della loro casa, curata in ogni dettaglio e arredata con la passione per l'antiquariato, facendoli sentire graditi. Siamo partiti con il desiderio di tornare in primavera.

D'abord merci à Claudio et Sarah pour nous avoir offert un si bon séjour. C'est un endroit parfait pour débuter un séjour en Italie qui est située pas très loin de l'aéroport de Rome, au pied d'un petit village typiquement italien, au coeur d'un parc archéologique. Voici un endroit plein de charme dans une demeure datant du 13e siècle . La chambre est une suite avec terrasse privée donnant sur un magnifique jardin. C'est calme et reposant. Les hôtes, n'ont pas de limite pour s'assurer que votre séjour sera merveilleux et chaleureux. Ils prennent soin de vous dès votre arrivée et au matin vous offre un superbe petit déjeuner sur la terrasse. C'était tout simplement parfait pour commencer notre voyage. Je recommande sans hésitation.

Where to begin? Sarah and Claudio are the most generous and attentive hosts - truly customized breakfast and all around service. Their home is a historical masterpiece and the lodging is a full bedroom, a large sitting room with a writing desk and french doors to the garden, plus a luxurious bathroom. It's adjacent to an archeological park that features wonderful walking trails and a 3000 year old amphitheater. It's walking distance to the main parts of old Sutri and there are many restaurants within a quarter mile - we walked everywhere. Their adult daughter, Chloe, is an expert on the history of the region and can be booked for tours ranging from 2 hours to six days on horseback for a true trip back in time. We look forward to returning and taking advantage of Sarah and Claudio's 30 years of living in this fabulous 'comune' less than an hour from Rome.

Our stay with Sarah and Claudio, two of the most wonderful and charming people whom you would ever wish to meet, was incomparable. We only wish that it had been for more than one night, Their house is full of fabulous appointments and works of art, and the beautiful and large room in which we stayed was not only filled with such objects, but contained a view of their yard, which can only be described as heaven on earth. It was memorable sharing and enjoying wine and food with them on the terraza outside our room. This is an experience not to be missed. Grazie mille, Sarah and Claudio!

If you seek refined countrylife combined with cultural highlights ( sightseeing tours) for your holidays you will find your paradise in " ETRUSCAN GARDENS": A most elegant 2 rooms suite with a marvellous classic English style bathroom and a magnificent huge terrace which leads to a beautiful garden. the owners, an English-Italian couple, Sarah and Claudio are antiques dealers ( the house is indeed furnished with the most magnificent English antiques). Sarah and Claudio do everything to let their guests feel comfortable and relaxed. It is really amazing how kind, helpful and amiable these hosts are - they anticipate you every wish...Every morning Sarah or Claudio serves you a most delicious English-Italian breakfast on the terrace - heavenly! In their beautiful garden with its wonderful flowers, bushes, trees and fruit trees ( delicious figs) you will find deckchairs, chairs and little tables, which invite you to have a rest or to read a book.. Our hosts arrange even massages, facial treatments and private yoga lessons for their guests. Chloé, archeologist and Sarah`s and Claudio`s d,aughter, arranges and guides sightseeing tours to the nearby Etruscan caves. Chloé`s knowledge is amazing. We enjoyed the most interesting tours with her. For horse lovers Chloé ( who is a passionate rider) arranges and guides riding tours as well. We loved our 2 weeks`holidays so much that we are planning to go back there this autumn. The lovely countryside inspires us to go on walking tours to the nearby idyllic lakes. And of course, we are looking forward to seeing Sarah and Claudio again! The sweetest hosts in the world! " ETRUSCAN GARDENS" deserves highest praise - EXCELLENT !

Such a beautiful place to stay with fantastic hosts who are wonderfully friendly and very helpful. Peaceful location, idyllic garden, great views, fabulous rooms. What more could you want.

Vous y serez comme des coqs en pâte. Jardin exceptionnel décoration recherchée accueil des plus sympathique. Bonne literie, très propre. Et vous avez tout à disposition. Nous n'avons qu'un regret ne rester qu'une nuit. Et quand on pense que nous avons atterri ici grâce à notre petit chien refusé par un hôtelier. Nous lui disons merci.

We stayed one night here while walking on the Via Francigena last week. It is pure luxury with a wonderful large garden right outside the door with a beautiful terrace where you are served breakfast. From the outset, owners Claudio and Sarah could not have been more helpful. Lovely relaxed, interesting and fun couple. Sarah also owns the antique shop next door so you can imagine how the lovely suite and bathroom are furnished. I think luxury describes it well. It is three minutes walk to the centre of Sutri where Claudio had recommended and helped us book a lovely restaurant with wonderful views. I have no doubt that when word gets out, it will be difficult to get a booking here. We loved it. A lovely treat.

This B&B is a total gem that should feature on everyone's wishlist. It is owned and run by antique dealer husband and wife (Claudio and Sarah) whose knowledge of the locale and its magnificent history is unsurpassed. The property looks as if it has come straight out of a Vogue photo shoot. Wonderful art abounds and the owners' hospitality is both hugely generous whilst at the same time being entirely unobtrusive. Their 'pet' is a beautiful horse named Lola who happily wanders around the substantial garden and willingly accepts carrots from the extended palm of anyone who wishes to be her new friend. The location is wonderful - an area steeped in archaeological magnificence. In fact, if you are fortunate enough to catch her whilst you are there, try to arrange a walking tour with Chloe, their daughter. This unbelievably knowledgeable lady explained everything to us with a simplicity and passion that fueled such interest that we will definitely go back to spend more time and discover even more. Fabulous restaurants on the doorstep, wonderful countryside to explore, beautiful lakes within 30 minutes and even a superb aeronautical museum tucked away containing some of the most beautifully restored aircraft from the very earliest of pioneer aviators. Cannot recommend highly enough. One of the most wonderful weeks we have ever spent.
