Stunning Panoramic Villa near Rome, Pool (heating optional)

Go for a swim whilst enjoying the view of the Umbrian hills, treat yourself to long lunches on the veranda and round off the day by the fireside. Il Casale degli Ulivi is a villa with panoramic views, restored by the architect-owner, set amongst 5,000 m² of olive groves and gardens, with a heated swimming pool (optional service during the opening season, from late April to early November), for the exclusive use of up to 11 guests, about 50 minutes from Rome.
Il Casale degli Ulivi: a house with a history. In 2000, our family purchased a farmhouse that had been abandoned for decades; its restoration took years, using high-quality materials and period furnishings. Today, it offers 240 m² (2,580 square feet) of light, character and comfort, designed for families and friends who wish to spend time together, with plenty of space to breathe.

The spacious living and dining room has a large fireplace and a table big enough for everyone. Two doors open onto the 55 m² (590 sq ft) covered porch facing the hills: the place for breakfast, long lunches and sunset aperitivo. The large eat-in kitchen is fully equipped (dishwasher, oven, microwave, fridge-freezer plus chest freezer).
