Lush green rolling hills surround this lovely villa with swimming pool and 1.5 hectares of garden filled with olive & fruit trees, fenced by the forest. From the terrace and the deck of the swimming pool you can enjoy a splendid view of the Prenestini Mountains and the “campagna” countryside of Gerano. A little further, you can spot the village of Pisoniano. Here in Gerano we have 5 to 10 degrees less than in Rome due to the microclimate of the mountains, which ensures us an evergreen surrounding and cooler evenings which is ideal in summer! The villa is only 2 km from the village of Gerano, 7 km from the bigger San Vito Romano, 15 km from Tivoli and 20 min by car from the Roma – L’Aquila/Teramo highway. This highway takes you within 45 min to the centre of Rome and connects to the “Grande Annulare” the ring around Rome. Within 1 hour, you can also reach the huge parking garage under the Spanish Steps. Prices are very reasonable. A car is necessary in order to get to the Villa and to move around for sightseeing or daily groceries. Surrounding the Villa you can find several good local restaurants, a gym with a tennis court, horseback riding schools and plenty of picturesque villages to visit. A beautiful hidden waterfall and a small lake can be found at a 30 min drive in Subiaco, which also offer possibilities to white water rafting and canyoning. Then Tivoli with Villa Adriana and Villa d’Este, both on the Unesco world heritage list, is at a 20 min drive from here At 25 km away the A1 motorway offers easy day trips to several attractive sites and historical towns like Florence and Orvieto.
