Flavor of Italy


the exquisite Flavor of Italy B&B is situated on the outskirts of Rome, yet is a mere 20 minutes metro ride to the historic center of Rome! It is surrounded on all sides by captivating views of rolling hills, the Castelli wine country and St. Peter’s Basilica.

The most important part of your stay with us is service. We want to make sure that you enjoy every comfort possible. We will sit down with you daily to work out your itinerary to ensure you see fabulous sites, including many still undiscovered locations. We pride ourselves on finding out of the way, hidden treasures in Italy. We want to ensure you dine in excellent, charming restaurants. In other words we want you to have a true “flavor of Italy” while you’re here! We are available to make museum reservations and to purchase any train or air tickets you may need.

B& B owner and chef Wendy Di Ruscio prepares delectable homemade breakfasts and dinners (upon request) daily. Don’t miss out on Wendy & Maurizio’s fabulous pizza prepared in their wood burning pizza oven!

The huge terrace, where both breakfast & dinners are served, overlooks the pool and lush, rolling hills. During the winter breakfast is served in a cozy tinello with a roaring fire.

All of the expansive rooms can accommodate two or more people and most have a separate entrance that leads directly out to the pool area where you can relax and enjoy a swim.

Daily cooking courses are available as well as outings to visit local wineries and producers of gastronomical products including olive oil, mozzarella & ricotta cheese, jams and honey.

Guests are provided with a mobile phone during their stay (you pay only for your calls). You will be able to make local and international calls, and you’ll find that having a mobile phone with you at all times is useful for any phone calls you need to make during the day for museum and restaurant reservations or to contact the B&B.

Rome’s historic center is easily accessible by metro (a 20 minute ride) and transportation to and from the station is provided. Car service is also provided to pick you up from Rome’s center if you decide to dine out in the evening.

So if you’re planning a trip to Rome why not stay in a place that can offer you the best of Italy: fabulous food & wine in a picturesque country setting just a stone’s throw from all the historic sites and art treasures of Rome. At the Flavor of Italy Bed and Breakfast you really can enjoy the best of both worlds!
