The Casa dei Cesari hotel lies on the western side of Cricket Hill, one of the three main ancient
settlements in Yateley. The earliest available records relating to the property date from 1756 when it was in the ownership
of the Moore family who completed the first modernisation of the timber framed house. This included the large open
fireplace with its wide chimney in the entrance which dates from the late 17th century and the attractive checkerboard
brickwork at the very front of the hotel.
A succession of middle class occupants followed until the 1950's when it was divided into flats. About
1975 when the Handford Lane became a wide straight road the house became an Italian Restaurant and took it's current
name. In the late 1980's the house was extended at the rear in phases to become a hotel, fortunately the imposing front
facade was preserved.
The Bedrooms For those wishing to take advantage of the
accommodation offered, Casa dei Cesari has 63 ensuite rooms including two Suites and 19 Executive Rooms.
All rooms include Plasma Screen Television, Broadband Internet Access and Movies on Demand. Hospitality trays,
hairdryers and ironing facilities are standard in all rooms.
