A modern villa in the ageless landscape of the Sabine Hills, Villa l’Uliveta sits on a hillside north-east of Rome gazing at a rolling patchwork of vineyards, olive groves, field and woods that has likely not changed in centuries. Comfortably furnished and well-designed for a large group, the villa offers two living areas, both with fireplaces, that open to the garden. Terraces at three different levels offer quiet, sunny spots for contemplating the view, which is perhaps best enjoyed from one of the loungers around the private swimming pool just below the house. The villa is beautifully located for exploring the Sabine area with its lovely old villages. To the west of Cantalupo in Sabina are the most important sites of the Etruscan civilisation; to the east is the mountainous area dotted with abbeys and monasteries founded by St. Francis of Assisi. Rome and all its glories are quickly reached by a direct railway line. Tennis, golf and horseback riding are all available within a few minutes’ drive.
