Area
The House of Sunflower is located 2 km away from the center of Monterotondo, a town north of Rome that is well connected to the Eternal City and Fiumicino Airport thanks to a local train that takes you to Rome in 20 minutes and to the airport in 1 hour.

The train runs every 20 minutes and the station is located in Monterotondo Scalo where we can pick up customers and provide a shuttle service based on our availability.

There is also a hospital in the area that provides health services to all residents of Monterotondo and surrounding towns, located just 2 km away.

The House of Sunflower is located at 91 Via della Gavaccia and we recommend that those who arrive at the house with a navigator do not follow its directions, but instead head towards the hospital and after about 50 meters turn right onto Via di San Matteo. Follow it until the junction with Via di San Angelo, which is a long descent and a long climb at the end of which, on the right, there are signs for the House of Sunflower that is located 500 meters away.

In addition, the house is located about 18 km from the Mormon temple in Via di Settebagni, which can be reached in 20 minutes by car.

If you are a family looking for a pleasant and quiet area to rest after a day spent in the chaotic center of Rome, Casa del Girasole in Monterotondo is the right place. In addition to the warm welcome from the property, you can count on comfortable, tidy, and above all clean rooms equipped with sanitary facilities. The rooms are furnished with retro-style furniture fully in harmony with the surrounding countryside. The view that can be admired from the terrace or garden of the villa is typical of the hills of the Roman district, and you would not think for a moment that the largest city in Italy and the capital is just a 20-minute drive away. After a lifetime (even though I live in the countryside) in the evening, I saw the fireflies again: my daughters had never seen them before. For a weekend or even a week of vacation, I believe it would be hard to find better.

Maurizio made our trip to Rome for the Ryder Cup an absolute joy. The kindness he showed us was wonderful. We visited places, ate and drank where only locals would know. It was so much fun, we were treated so well, everywhere we went. I would recommend a visit to Casa del Girasole for all. I cannot wait to go back. Thank you Maurizio. Cheers. John from Calgary.

Our host Maurizio was extremely helpful and welcoming. This nice property and the exceptional hospitality made our trip a success. We came from Canada to attend the Ryder Cup. He picked us up at the Monterotondo train station, helped us to acquire a rent car, gave us many great restaurant and trip suggestions. We felt right at home at Casa del Girasole!

I stopped for a break and especially to break up the journey. My family and I have always settled for little, but now with the dog we have some need for more space and this place was ideal. Quiet area and very kind and helpful owner.

Immersed in greenery with a wonderful view and plenty of fresh air. The maximum to rest and recharge your batteries. The owner is a person available for all possible needs. On the day of departure, he drove me for a long stretch to take me to the beginning of a trail. Very kind. I slept in a nice room with a comfortable bed. Highly recommend it.

Mi dispiace per la colazione ma non possiamo servire prodotti non confezionati come lei avrebbe desiderato per un fatto igienico Oltre alla colazione continentale composta di fette biscottate burro marmellata cioccolata succhi di frutta frutta fresca e secca( noci mandorle arachidi) yogurt brioche e merendine confezionate ( muffin al cioccolato e semplici crostastine di cioccolata e marmellata treccine etc)c’era anche quella salata cioè prosciutto cotto e crudo formaggio uova sode e toasts che non ha voluto Di più non possiamo fare Grazie comunque Un saluto

Well-organized and well-managed family-run property by Maurizio, a friendly and polite person. Always available for any need. Abundant and pleasant breakfast on a communal table. Offers what you would expect from a typical bed and breakfast. Enchanting view amidst green, peace, and tranquility. Great price. Remote location but convenient to reach many places like Lunghezza, Tivoli, the center of Rome, the center of Monterotondo within half an hour by car. If we were to return, we would definitely choose it again with pleasure.

The location is excellent, the manager is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are very spacious. If I have to make a point, just a bit more cleaning, some cobwebs, and checking before the guests' entrance that everything is in place and nothing is missing. For the rest, it's ok, even with the price. We will return.

La struttura è pulita e ben tenuta in una ubicazione tranquilla e silenziosa, che però sarebbe opportuno segnalare meglio, il gestore è un'ottima persona gentile ed educata, però se un appunto gli devo fare, e questo gli avrebbe fatto avere il massimo voto alla colazione, non ci ha mai fatto assaggiare i "famosi" cornetti di una rinomata pasticceria di Monterotondo. B&B da raccomandare.

Non potevamo scegliere meglio: bel posto, bella struttura, pulitissimo, panorama spettacolo (sulle colline romane), pace e tranquillità, gestione impeccabile con la disponibilità totale del signor Maurizio, rapporto qualità/prezzo senza confronti. Grazie 1000. ps: I nostri cani ringraziano dell'ospitalità.
