HISTORY OF THE HOUSE
The property belonged to our greatgrandparents who used to stay at the villa during summertime.
In the early 1900s the property was about 100 hectares, most of them with olive trees.
The rest of the land was cultivated with fruit trees ( peaches and cherries) and a vineyard.
Over the years the land was sold and currently there are about 30 hectares mainly cultivated with olive trees and grazing for sheep.
The villa was then abandoned until my husband and I decided to restore it and go to live there.
Our children grew up at Collestretto until we decided to return to live in Rome so that they could attend good schools.
The house has been restored trying to save all the ancient materials ( like the wooden beams of the ceiling and the stones of the walls).
On the ground floor where is now the billiard room, was once the old stable. The ancient manger for the sheep was modified to create a place where one could sit.
A picture in the living room depicts my grandparents and great-grandfather in the front garden sitting under the same huge tree that still exists. The woman with long hair in the picture in the dining room, is my grandmother with my mother.

The property is in the most beautiful location with views over the countryside at all angles and you can watch the stunning sunset every evening from the poolside. The house is very old but that is part of its charm and had plenty of room for all of us (there were 5 of us in our party). The pool, although needing a bit of renovating in places, was large and well located to the house and very welcome in the summer heat. Plentiful loungers and seating around the pool for all to use. Overall a fantastic experience in the Italian countryside with easy access to Rome.

Beautiful surroundings, good access to nearby towns, roomy 3 level villa with a lift. Be careful, because the stairs are a bit high & uneven, but that adds to the charm. Having a washer was great, but just plan ahead as you must dry them by hanging on racks in the roomy washing area. It got a bit chilly in late October, so it gave us an opportunity to light a fire in the quite large living room area. That was something different for us South Floridians, where it is almost always warm. One suggestion to our host would be to try to improve the internet signal-even with her wi-fi, we were unable to get strong enough signals to do everything we would have liked. Overall, it was a great experience.

Huge and comfortable older home in the countryside, great for an escape but don’t expect mod cons. The pool was fantastic and local towns - especially Palombara Sabina - were perfect for exploring, once we figured out the buses. It’s a good hour from Rome but possible by public transport. Be sure to book a ride there well in advance if you have luggage and no car, as the bus is not able to take much luggage and it can be difficult to get a taxi.

We (a group of 10 friends) had an amazing week in Palombara Sabina. It's a quiet and relaxing area, with a big pool and lots of spots to hang out or eat. Rosalba and her husband, who live on site, are very helpful and not intrusive at all. We also loved the two cute cats that roam around the area. By car, you reach the supermarkets within 10 minutes and in 1 hour you're in Rome.
The only thing we struggled with was that there were too few (wine)glasses and cutlery for our large group. And because the washing machine did not work very well, we had to do dishes by hand a couple of times a day. But besides that, i would absolutely recommend staying here!
