This nature house is a delightful holiday home in northern Lazio, on the border with Umbria and Tuscany. The house is located a 15-minute drive from the town of Orte on a (partially) unpaved country road. By train from Orte you can reach Rome in half an hour and Florence in an hour; by car you can reach the most beautiful beaches in Tuscany in an hour and a half and, if you prefer the mountains, this is also possible! The house is located in a rural area, surrounded by woods, fields and farms. In this nature house you can enjoy both the indoor (big space, different rooms, internet connection, well equipped dining room, sofas, armchairs and fireplace) and the outdoor (big garden, terrace, relaxing areas, playground for kids, walking paths, swimming pool).
Nature and surroundings
Nestled between the gentle hills of Lazio and Umbria, this nature house offers a tranquil escape surrounded by Italy’s rustic charm. Rolling landscapes stretch in every direction, with vineyards, olive groves, and golden fields painting a picturesque panorama. The nearby hills create a natural tapestry, where cypress trees stand tall and patches of wildflowers add color in spring and summer. Majestic oaks and chestnuts provide cool, shaded spots. Wildlife thrives here, with deer, hares, and songbirds frequently seen in the mornings, while crickets and cicadas fill the evenings with their rhythmic chorus. During autumn, the hills are painted with warm hues of red and orange, while winter brings a soft mist, adding a mysterious beauty. Winding paths invite leisurely walks or hikes, revealing views of medieval villages dotting the horizon. This serene countryside setting is a true haven of peace and natural beauty, blending the timeless elegance of Lazio and Umbria.

The cottage is located in a beautiful setting on the grounds of a cattle farm. We eat vegetarian, but for those who don’t, organic meat is sold on the property. You can go for walks in the area, but you’ll have to walk across fields and through orchards that belong to other people (the farmer we met was fine with it and even gave us some water), or walk back and forth along the same trails.
Het huisje ligt in een prachtige omgeving en op het erf van een veehouderij. Wij eten vegetarisch, maar voor wie dat niet doet, wordt er op het terrein biologisch vlees verkocht. Wandelen in de omgeving kan, maar dan moet je wel over akkers en door boomgaarden lopen die van mensen zijn (de boer die we tegenkwamen vond dat prima en gaf ons nog water ook), of over de dezelfde paden heen en weer terug willen lopen.
- Air conditioning was limited to two of the three bedrooms. The living area only had a small standing fan, which turned out to be noisy, uncomfortable, and insufficient during a heat wave when temperatures reached around forty degrees.
- The somewhat small communal pool closed every evening at 6:30 p.m., and adults were required to be present whenever children were in the pool, regardless of their swimming certifications. On one occasion, the pool was so crowded with adults behaving far too rowdily that we didn’t feel comfortable there with our young children.
- The house’s internet service provider (ISP) experienced an issue during our stay, preventing us from using the Wi-Fi to order tickets until they resolved the problem three days later.
- Poorly installed and non-sealing window screens failed to protect the children or us from mosquito bites during the two weeks we were there.
- The caretaker, Pamela, was very easy to reach and speaks excellent English. She responded to questions with tips and assistance and also proactively offered suggestions.- De airco was beperkt tot twee van de drie slaapruimtes. De woonruimte heeft alleen een kleine staande ventilator, die lawaaierig, oncomfortabel en te weinig bleek tijdens een hittegolf rond de veertig graden.
- Het wat kleine gemeenschappelijke zwembad sloot elke avond om 18:30 en volwassenen moesten aanwezig zijn wanneer er kinderen waren, ongeacht gehaalde diploma's. Een keer was het zwembad zo vol met veel te wilde volwassenen dat we ons daar niet op ons gemak voelden met onze kleine kinderen.
- De ISP van het huis ontwikkelde tijdens ons verblijf een probleem, waardoor we de wifi niet konden gebruiken om kaarten te bestellen totdat ze het probleem drie dagen later hadden opgelost.
- Slecht geplaatste en niet-afsluitende horren hebben de kinderen en ons niet behoed tegen muggenbeten in de twee weken dat we daar waren.
- De caretaker, Pamela, was zeer goed bereikbaar en spreekt uitstekend Engels. Ze reageerde op vragen met tips en hulp en kwam ook pro-actief met suggesties.This text is automatically translated. -
