Casal d’Upupa

Casal d’Upupa is a countryside-style bed and breakfast in San Cesareo that feels like a quiet, green base for day trips into Rome.

Easy Rome access: The property sits right by Zagarolo train station, making it practical for reaching central Rome in about 15 minutes by train while still sleeping outside the city.

Garden-and-pool setting: Guests get outdoor space to unwind, with a garden and an outdoor swimming pool that’s especially welcome after sightseeing or a warm Lazio afternoon.

Comfort-focused rooms: Rooms are described with private bathrooms and thoughtful extras like bathrobes and complimentary toiletries, plus flat-screen TVs; some units look out onto the garden or pool.

Apartment option for longer stays: If you want more independence, there’s also a ground-floor apartment-style unit with a private kitchen and practical in-room features such as a coffee machine and washing machine.

Parking convenience: Free on-site private parking helps if you’re combining Rome with drives to the Castelli Romani area or other nearby towns.

Local activities nearby: The area suits low-key days too, with hiking mentioned as an easy add-on to a stay based at Casal d’Upupa.

Trade-off of being outside the center: Because Casal d’Upupa is not in central Rome, most classic sights require a train ride or car trip.

Station-side location: Being next to the railway can be very convenient, but light sleepers may prefer to request a quieter room placement.

Limited on-site dining: Breakfast may not be included in every rate, so you might need to plan morning coffee and food in advance.
