Big family accommodation in Rome...

Do you need to be in Rome or near it??
Could you look at villas with more bedrooms a short distance from Rome, and hopefully some of you will hire cars or there could be good public transport links.
Options on Airbnb when it comes to bigger properties probably improve once outside the city.

Thanks, yes, I have spent quite a long time on Airbnb.
We haven't been for maybe 5 years but have never needed so much space before.
Last time we only needed 3 bedrooms. This time we need 8 plus really.

AirBnB might be your best bet although it’s been many years since I was in Rome and I was camping at the time

Just wondering if anyone has done this and if so, where worked for you?
I was initially looking for a big house or similar- but so many big houses seem squashed in with multiple beds per bedroom.

If anyone has done this I'd be pleased to know where you stayed.
It could be a hotel if it was "family friendly".
The grandchildren are pretty well behaved but there will be a lot of us. (17 or maybe 19) and I don't want to feel awkward in public areas.

Thanks for reading.
