House / Villa - Palombara Sabina

I wish I had rented a car otherwise everything thing was perfect for quiet. Perfect for a family summer, just a time away from the city. Very beautiful!

What a fantastic villa!Andrea & his father made check-in smooth and simple, the place was super-super clean, with everything in great condition.Big rooms, comfy furniture, a well-equipped kitchen, log fire with a nearby wood seller, central heating in the whole house plus good aircon in every room for the summer!Very secluded and private, right opposite a simply beautiful ancient little abbey that's open at the weekends.With Rome under an hour away and the stunning historic town of Tivoli just 35 mins out, it's a perfect location to relax or go sightseeing.Tivoli boasts three magnificent ancient sites, the villas of Hardian, Gregoriana and D'Este, all breathtaking to visit and parking in town (or on site at Hadrian's villa) is just 3 for the day, lovely to see them welcoming visitors and not trying to rip them off with exorbitant parking fees!Local restaurants are very good, but some need booking up to 2 days in advance, although there are several that are walk-ins.Eating out in Sabina Palombara itself isn't so easy, as there is virtually nowhere to park and the streets are very tight for cars, but look around the wider area, especially Ristorante La Sabina Romana, just 10 mins drive away, wonderful service and food (no telephone, internet or pre-booking though)!The villa itself is bright and spacious, it has lovely gardens and we had such a wonderful week, would recommend to anyone and we will go back if we are in Italy again, it's a fabulous place.

This property is.located a little outside Palombara Sabina, but still within easy access of supermarkets, bars and gelato! It is a good sized property for 4 adults and a couple of kids. The dawn chorus is incredible and the views down the valley and across to beautiful hilltops have to be seen. Air-conditioning works well, if you need it and there is decent water pressure, even with both showers going at the same time. Kitchen has all the bits you'll need, including a dishwasher. There's a washing machine too.

I used this location as a base for travel throughout Europe. It was nice being able to wake up and have a coffee on one of the various decks and enjoy the birds and nature.
