COLLESTRETTO
This ancient building, recently renovated, dates back to the early 19th century and is situated in Sabina (4kms from Palombara), an area famous for its excellent extra virgin olive oil, in a splendid valley encircled by the Lucretili Mountains, one of Lazio's most beautiful nature reserves.
There is a pleasant dining area by the swimming pool (7 x 15 m. - open May/Sept.) immersed in greenery.
There is also a private five-a-side grass football field.
The house is elegantly furnished with some traditional rural features: wooden ceiling beams, terracotta floors and fireplaces. On the ground floor the old cowshed has been transformed into a billiard room. The guest lift to the other floors is a welcome advantage.
With Rome close by, (35kms), this is the perfect holiday for art lovers; near the town of Tivoli (roughly 20 minutes' drive from Palombara) where the Villa d'Este deserves a visit, with its famous garden built on symmetrical terraces, lush vegetation, animated by its world-famous magical fountains (the famous "Viale delle Cento Fontane" - Avenue of a Hundred Fountains- and Bernini's "Fontana del Bicchierone")
Rome 35kms, A1 motorway Fiano Romano exit 22kms.
