Built in the 19th century, this stunning Italian country home sits in the WWF Oasis of Pian Sant'Angelo, adorned with greenery, an abundance of natural wildlife, and endless tranquillity. Outside, the scent of chestnuts, hazelnuts and olive trees fragrance the air with blissful aroma, while vast grassy lawns colour the landscape and gardens green in every direction you look. Serve up authentic Italian meals in the romantic setting of the alfresco dining area – lunch times out here are particualrly special. Then, spend your days whiling away amid the surrounding mosaic of nature upon relaxing by the private pool. Inside, the home embodies the quintessential Italian country home dressed with exposed chestnut-wooden beams, stone walls, terracotta flooring, furnishings, and upholstery in warm colours. You'll find the annexe just twenty metres from the main house, boasting its own living room, kitchenette and bedroom-bathroom suite – the ideal set-up for grandparents joining you on a family getaway or those travelling with a nanny. Located in an area of 254 hectares, you'll be within direct access to nature walks, trails, cycling and horseback riding here – and with every possibility of bumping into the local wildlife, including wild boars, foxes, porcupines, badgers and ducks, to name a few. Meanwhile, by car, you'll also be well-positioned to go on excursions and visit some of the most beautiful places in northern Lazio (a land of volcanic lakes and centuries-old woods). Finally, for a slice of civilisation, head out to the local town of Corchiano, just a few kilometres away, to discover its independent shops and restaurants.
