Turn off the small orchard-lined road down a dusty track and lay your eyes on this exquisite house that will transport you back in time. The owners have lovingly restored this farmhouse to its former glory, taking great care to create a spectacular home from home that's set to exceed all your expectations. First impressions count, and they don't get much better than this. But what might not be immediately apparent on arrival is how the villa's old-world charm will slowly unveil itself to you throughout your stay here. From the fact that there's always a shaded spot by the pool to escape the heat, to the way the breeze picks up in the afternoon just as you're questioning whether you might have to retreat inside and how the sun settles on the seating area by the house each evening – these factors combine to create a stay that's sure to live long in the memory. Inside, you'll find all the mod cons you'd expect sitting beneath elegant vaulted ceilings and surrounded by antique furniture. The spacious rooms provide plenty of space to socialise, as well as secluded spots to claim as your own when you want to lose yourself in the... pages of a good book. The lush grounds don't disappoint either. Immaculately tended between guest visits, they're filled with centuries-old oaks, mature pine trees and luxuriant lawns. There's also a fenced-off pool, ideal for relaxing days by the pool. While you might be off the beaten track, the villa is only sixty-five kilometres from Rome, so you can spend the morning enjoying your rural idyll before heading into the city for lunch and a chance to explore the capital's headline-grabbing sights.
