Maddy Parker from Essex owns a two-bedroom apartment on Lake Bracciano, about 20 miles from Rome. She enjoys regular holidays there, makes the place available for friends and family, and also offers holiday rentals.
What drew her to Lazio? “I didn’t know much about Italy”, Maddy confesses, “until I was sent to work at my company’s Rome office for six months eight years ago. I was bowled over by the city. Romans seemed to me to have such energy and lust for life. I knew I would always want to keep coming back here. I had been thinking about buying an apartment on Crete somewhere, but my time in Rome turned my sights solely onto Italy. Lake Bracciano seemed perfect for me because I could go boating and swimming, be surrounded by green hills and fresh air, but also pop into Rome whenever I fancied excitement and serious shopping.
