- View Map
This excellent private villa enjoys a fine position overlooking its very own vineyard and the surrounding Sabine countryside but it is also perfect for exploring the many places of interest in Lazio as well as Umbria and Tuscany. Rome awaits just to the south with its enormous historical and cultural heritage of revealing archeological sites, splendid renaissance and baroque palaces and of course the Vatican City, sovereign seat of the pope and home to the largest collection of art and antiquities in the world.
The world of the Etruscans is also nearby to the west Viterbo, Vulci, Cerveteri and Tuscania with is interesting Etruscan tombs. One may also embark on a pilgrimage tracing the footsteps of St. Francis of Assisi which starts at Rieti and winds its way north through some delightful countryside visiting the many holy sites connected with the patron saint of Italy. Inevitably, Assisi is well worth a visit with its mysterious churches, other-wordly atmosphere and naturally the majestic frescoes by Giotto in the Basilica of Saint Francis. Umbria is also the home of music from the famous “Festival of the Two Worlds” at glorious Spoleto to the more up-beat jazz festival in the Umbrian regional capital, Perugia. Other sites of interest in Umbria include the Cascate delle Marmore at Terni - the highest waterfall in Europe at 100mtrs. Orvieto should not be missed with its underground necropoli and arguably the most beautiful gothic cathedral in Italy. Tuscany is closer than one would think with its panorama which, in some places, hasn’t changed in 1000 years. Renaissance glory can be found at Arezzo and Cortona, Siena and Florence.
