Colle di Tora holiday lettings

The villa is beautiful with large, spacious rooms and a wonderful mixture of more modern and older pieces of furniture. The pictures just don't do it justice. The kitchen is well equipped with ample pots, pans, cooking and serving dishes and enough cutlery, crockery and glassware to accommodate a small army! The outside areas are equally impressive with a wonderful loggia just off the kitchen for alfresco dining or chilling. The outside kitchen is also close by with its wood fired grill and pizza oven, gas hob and sink with running water. There is also a patio area with sofa, stools and a low table and of course the pool with its own terrace and sun loungers as well as a volleyball net in the garden and table tennis under the covered parking area. As a party of 7 adults from 6 different households we found there was plenty of space for us all to function as individuals and as a group. The villa is very secluded and peaceful but so many places are easily reachable within an hour and the landscapes are stunning. Michela is a very genuine and warm hearted person and was a wonderful host; always quick to respond to any messages before and during our stay. She went out of her way to help us on more than one occasion, even picking up two of our party when transport plans went haywire. The property and its grounds are meticulously maintained and Daniel and/or his wife, Aurica, discreetly turn up every other day to clean the pool, attend to the chickens and ducks.

With magnificent views, this property offered all the privacy we required in an unspoilt part of the Italian countryside. Despite its gorgeous, rural location, the house was within easy striking distance of Rome by car and made a great base for exploring the wonders of the Eternal City. The facilities within the house made it easy to create family meals for our party of 12, with plenty of room to congregate or find a quieter spot. It’s various terraces offered many options to gather and enjoy the sun-dappled views by day and distant lights by evening. The huge pool was a constant draw for everyone. Even in the blazing heat of high summer, the garden offered shade and the house itself was cool throughout. The local area is unspoiled by mass tourism and many restaurants close by offered an authentic taste of Lazio.

Fabulous property in wonderful quiet area with outstanding views. Well equipped, lots of wildlife . Had a great break and recommend it highly

This is a lovely cottage in a beautiful setting. The views are spectacular and it's very easy to get to from Rome. It's a great base for exploring the hills and even in November we could sit on the balcony in the sun. The village has a lovely bakery and good restaurants.
