Casa Romita built in 1885, is a magnificent example of late nineteenth-century Italian architecture. The villa belonged to a noble family who also operated it as an olive oil mill.
The presence of the two towers, St. Gregorio and St. Andrea, the last of which adorned with a fine bronze bell, enhance the architectural charm of the villa evoking a nostalgic, timeless feeling.
The villa has been beautifully restored to preserve the sense of authenticity that will capture the essence of this period living in the Italian country.
The main living quarters of the villa include 5 bedrooms with 4 en-suite bathrooms, a living room with a terrace and charming fireplace, and a fully renovated kitchen. All the furnishing in Casa Romita have been selected and coordinated by a professional hotel interior designer in 2022.
Dating from the 17th century, the olive mill “Il Frantoio” on the floor below is completely built in the original stone and it has been carefully restored to feature all the entertaining for the house guests. It includes:
Adjacent to the villa, there is a lovely farmhouse cottage, “La Casetta” which has been fully renovated and it includes 1 bedroom with a king size bed, a lovely living room with a comfortable full size sleeping sofa, dining area, a full shared bathroom, and a cozy kitchen. La Casetta overlooks a 3-tiered cascading rose and herb garden.
Total of 6 beds and 4 full bathrooms. Sleeps a total of 12 guests.
The outdoor facilities include an original stone and brick gazebo with a built in, restored stone oven ideal for wood burning pizza, bread, and local “chianina” steaks.
Below the gazebo, there is a 10m x 5m (32’ x 16’) swimming pool, with a sun deck and chaise loungers. The pool sits on the valley between olive trees and next to a vineyard, with the views of the surrounding hills.
Casa Romita is located just north of Rome and close to the Umbrian border, in the picturesque hill country known as “Sabina”, famous for the exceptional DOC olive oil production and rustic, authentic cuisine. This centralized location makes it convenient for day visits to the most important sites in central Italy.
The modern meaning of "villa" has its origins in the 15th century. Generally this word indicates large and elegant dwelling homes surrounded by more or less wide gardens and parks.
