A CHARMING AND EXCLUSIVE 19TH CENTURY COUNTRY HOUSE Lovely, antique country house standing on the crest of a hill with a spectacular view of surrounding hillside vineyards, near the small medieval town of Otricoli. Broad, sweeping lawn and swimming pool enclosed by olive trees. Comfortably and elegantly furnished. LOCATION - Nearest airport: Fiumicino Rome airport 100 km away by motorway - Nearest motorway: A1 Magliano Sabina exit 10 km away - Nearest station: Borghetto Flaminio and Orte (Borghetto) - Car: necessary. Set in the heart of Etruscan and Medieval Italy, the small town of Otricoli is 1 km away with its shops and restaurants and enchanting archaeological site on Tiber river. The charming, medieval town of Narni is 15 km away. The magnificent Marmore waterfalls are also close by (35 km). 50 minutes to Rome by fast train from the well-connected Orte station. From Borghetto Flaminio direct train to Fiumicino Rome airport (1 hour).
Close to: - Orvieto and its cathedral (61 km) - Assisi, the city of St. Francis (50 km) - Todi, a medieval gem (60 km) - Florence (210 km) - Perugia (100 km) - Viterbo and its natural thermal baths - Rome (70 km) - Amelia (40 km) An area with a great culinary tradition, a wonderful variety of foods and drinks (wine, cheese, cured meats and hams, olive oil, pastries…) and fantastic eating places, both simple and gourmet (Vissani's, the most highly-rated restaurant in Italy, is only 40 minutes away).
At the beginning of May a beautiful Medieval Festival is hold in the town of Narni. At the end of the month fireflies come out at dusk creating a magical atmosphere. The garden, with its lawn surrounded by trees and flowers, is graced by a particularly beautiful sky in July and August. Many villages hold typical rural festivals the whole summer long. In September you can take part in our grape harvest. October is perfect for the thermal baths of Viterbo with their natural hot springs. Our country house has been home to us for years. We have restored it with loving care and furnished it in an elegant country style. We love it so much we want to share it with others. We live in Rome where we work and go to school (our family consists of an ophthalmologist, a pediatrician and two students), but we own a farmhouse and vineyard not far from Santo Iolo. We hope you'll visit us and have a taste of the wine we make in our own cellars.
