Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
From the arched brick ceilings to the antique furnishings, this renovated farmhouse encapsulates centuries of Italian history and charm. And if the bygone-era style isn't your thing, you might be swayed by the expansive gardens – the oak trees and rose gardens offer a quaint backdrop to alfresco meals, table tennis matches, and lazy days in the pool. This home's location contributes much to the laidback atmosphere – you're a short drive from Lake Vico, a popular spot for hikes and forest picnics, while the beach at Tarquinia is less than an hour away. Though you could always use this as a base to explore grander destinations – a direct train connects you to Rome.
