This beautifully restored ancient hamlet with four apartments is set on a hill which offers one of the most superb views of the Farfa River Valley. Within walking distance of the sleepy medieval village of Casaprota the location was used in the past as the “aia” (threshing floor) of the village; the place where the peasants gathered to clean wheat and to bake bread in a still working brick oven. Surrounded by three hectares of olive groves, oaks and small orchard of cherry trees – ripe for the picking in June!
Here you can enjoy relaxing holidays amid enchanting scenery, in an exceptionally quiet countryside setting. Each of the houses is independent from the other, comfortable and decorated in an elegant way with a collection of country antiques in total respect of the more traditional Sabine style. For sightseeing, Colle Cesoni is in an ideal location for exploring widely. To the south, Rome, just 45 minutes drive. To the west, Viterbo, Vulci and Tuscania with interesting Etruscan tombs. Orvieto should not be missed with its underground necropolises and arguably the most beautiful gothic cathedral in Italy.
