We enjoyed our stay in Sermoneta and at Camere Pinta. We used the apartment as a base for the Garden of Ninfa, which was amazing. The apartment is in a wonderful location, an easy walk to the old town and had an amazing view. The owner gave us a thorough introduction to the place and left detailed typed notes as to restaurants, attractions etc. which were very helpful.
The construction of the apartment was completed well with the original rock and stone of the old town. The private terrace was perfect for sunset views over the valley and to the sea. The old town was fascinating and we really enjoyed exploring it. Best cappuccino ever at the bar in the piazza. Basic supplies were included like dishwasher pods, salt and pepper (it always surprises us when apartments come with no supplies at all).
The cleanliness of the apartment however was substandard (the carpets had not been vacuumed for weeks - long hairs, and general debris, the nook behind the couch had 1/4 inch of dust, mould in the shower and around kitchen sinks) and it was clear the place has not been lived in by an owner (for example the toilet paper sits on the floor, not on a roll and insufficient hooks in the bathroom, no place for soap in shower, etc.)
We enjoyed using the pool which is part of a restaurant complex down the hill about a 10 minute drive from the apartment. Parking on the street at the apartment wasn't an issue as there was always a spot available. We really appreciated the information about the area Marco sent us. It was very helpful.

We spent a week in Marcos's villa. he was very welcoming and the villa was very comfortable. The terrace was up a few steps but when there had a stunning view of the valley. The villa had all we needed for our stay and both rooms had an en suite. There was even a washing machine which came in handy. For us, the location was perfect. We travelled to Rome on the train ( 40 mins) and drove to Pompei which took us 2 hours. Sermoneta itself was stunning, the most beautiful unspoilt village with very few tourists. We had a short walk through delightful tiny streets to find the cafe for our morning coffee.!! We had the use of a local pool which was a 10 minute drive away.

We were 2 couples staying in Camere Pinte in Sermoneta - this is ideal, because it has 2 separate bedrooms with own bath and toilet and one common living room for all. The house is spacious, well maintained and has a great terrace with a panoramic view. The terrace is south side, so you will get sun from morning till evening - very recommended for all sun seekers in winter time when it is cold and foggy in middle and northern Europe! Sermoneta is definitely the most beautiful and scenic medieval village in the area with lots of great restaurants and nice hiking opportunities in the Monti Lepini (bring goolge maps and satelite photos, there are no detailed maps availabe!). Owner Marco Bevivino knows what treasure he has, so the price of Le Camere Pinte is not really cheap - comparing it with a hotel, where you would have breakfast, daily cleaning, and services. However, the appartment has more space than a hotel room, and there is this beautiful terrace...
We arrived late in the evening, later than we planned because of transport delays, and it was no problem, which was very friendly of Marco.
The apartment was fantastic. Very well kept and had everything we needed. A great terrace to use with spectacular views way out to the sea.
Marco, the owner, was very welcoming and very helpful.
An excellent holiday base and somewhere, I'm sure we'll return to.

We had a brilliant week here. Sermoneta is an amazing location with picturesque streets and magnificent views at every turn. We had several delicious meals in the local restaurants and the pool at the bottom of the hill was a real bonus for the kids. 30 mins on the train to Rome meant that we also managed a couple of days there and the beaches along the nearby coast were very clean and safe for the kids as they could go out quite a distance before getting out of their depth. This is a very picturesque part of Italy with lots to see and do nearby. We plan to return! Marco could not have been more helpful. He was there to meet us and gave us lots of good information about things to do in the area. The balcony with table and chairs was a lovely spot to have our meals!

Good base for travelling in the region. Sermoneta itself was fascinating. Clean and good sized rooms and accurately reflected the description.
