Casale I Platani is a lovingly restored farmhouse located in the Lazio countryside. The villa is set within a 2000m2 vast garden enveloped by a stunning rural landscape. Spanning two independent floors, it has five bedrooms, two additional attached rooms, four bathrooms, and can accommodate up to 14 guests.
This original farm building has been furnished and decorated in a cosy and welcoming manner. It is full of character, which can be seen in the exposed stone, open fireplaces, and wooden beams. The main living room is on the ground floor, an open-plan room with comfy sofas gathered around the fireplace and a large dining table; the home boasts two additional living rooms. One of which can transform into a home cinema with surround sound and a Sony projector. There is a farm-style kitchen and a kitchenette that offer all the necessary appliances.
The villa is suitable for a larger family or a group of friends as there are five bedrooms you can choose from. A double bedroom is located on the first floor and accessed separately, making it ideal for grandparents or a couple looking for a little more privacy. The other bedrooms are located on the ground floor: one more double bedroom is available, plus three rooms which can be set up as twin or double rooms.
Encircling the house there is a large and lush garden with tall trees, lawned areas and beds filled with native herbs and flowers. You are sure to want to spend lots of time outdoors dining al-fresco, swimming in the private pool or gazing up at the stars from the hot tub in the evening.
The villa also embraces sustainability, operating entirely on self-produced energy from a rooftop solar system. An electric car charging station is available upon request. Outdoors, the private pool and firewood-heated jacuzzi promise unforgettable moments.
The land around the home lends itself to walking, hiking, bike riding and exploring on horseback. There is plenty of wide-open space where you can get in touch with nature and soak in the sunshine and amazing views.
Though the home is rurally located, there are a few eateries dotted around the nearby hills, so you do not have to travel far to dine out. You can also discover a range of shops, cafes and restaurants 7km away in the village of Marta. Marta is a pretty village close to the shores of Lake Bolsena. Hailing from the medieval era, you can wander the winding historic streets, shop for locally produced goods and dine al-fresco in the lively village square. From the village, you may also head out on lakeside walks or even take a boat onto the water. It is a lovely place to visit, especially during feast days and festivals such as La Barabbata when processions and parties fill the streets.

A beautifully converted farmhouse surrounded by stunning unspoilt countryside
We had the most wonderful stay Casale I Platani. It is a beautifully converted farmhouse with all the rustic qualities preserved. It has a such a lovely pool that is carefully maintained and sits within a country garden full of fruit trees and surrounded by olive groves. The temperature of the pool was perfect and it made for an energising start to the day. We made use of the shady veranda for breakfast and in the evenings would gather for some drinks. We had two barbecues there and it is a really great space for eating and relaxing. The rooms and bathrooms all have their own character and everyone was very happy. There is a big projecture screen which we managed to link our laptop too and play some games. The villa sits away from any other houses up a farm track which is great but watch out it can be a bit bumpy! The local town or Marta has two supermarkets and some great restaurants that are so welcoming and such great value for money. Lake Bolsena at the bottom of the hill offers such tranquillity and there are a host of restaurants that run along the edge. It’s a beautiful place for running, walking the dogs and there is a real vibrant atmosphere there at the weekends with people visiting. I would like to go back during another season to see the changes. We went at the end of September and it was lovely and hot during the day but cooled off in the evenings. The owner was a gentleman and waited for our delayed arrival and was on hand with any questions and helpful advice whenever we called on him! Thanks !! See you soon I hope!!

We highly recommend!
The house is wonderfully located. Despite its seclusion, you can get to the surrounding villages and the lake very quickly. The communication with the hosts was very pleasant. The house is lovingly furnished and the garden is perfect for getting away from it all. The house can be highly recommended for larger groups.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
