Villa Rovani

We were a group of 14 and so it was a very good arrangement to rent the two villas. The location was magnificent with superb views. There was a railway station a few miles away with regular trains to Rome. The villas were spacious, the swimming pool was a huge hit and we were grateful to have showers next to the pool itself. The remote location meant having to drive a couple of miles to the shops but it was certainly worth it. A bonus was the restaurant only 500 metres away which coped with our numbers without difficulty.

We had been thinking of and finally planning a family reunion for almost four years during which time our needs and availability changed. After much searching I found, to our delight, Villa Rovani. We were looking for a house that would fit eight adults, my father has mobility issues. It also needed a private pool with Roman steps - in the hope that we could all swim, and be close to a larger city. Villa Rovani checked all the boxes! Three bedrooms upstairs with en-suite bathrooms, one down with handicap facilities, and a gorgeous pool! The pool was a bit chilly at first but once in it was lovely - it was mid-September but my mother and I swam everyday! Villa Rovani is outside the hill town of Magliano Sabina in the most delightful countryside and yet is ONLY an hour from Rome, 45 mins to Orvieto and a little under two hours to Siena. The estate grows grapes and olives and has four homes to choose from depending on size of your party. The views from every window are spectacular! For those of you who are unfamiliar with this area, the countryside has rolling hills with Medieval hill towns perched on top, all reached by roads that wind through the picturesque countryside and along ridge lines offering dramatic views. I'd recommend staying here to anyone, it is so relaxing with the bonus of being so close to Rome yet a million miles away from the hurley burley!

We were looking for a large villa in a country setting with great proximity to both Rome and Tuscany. Villa Rovani was the perfect spot for our group of 2 families/9 adults.

The villa was clean and spacious on a beautiful piece of land nestled in farm country, with great views of the Magliano Sabina countryside. It was perfect for outdoor dining, sunbathing, and swimming (private pool) and was a great way to begin and end busy days spent in Rome, Orvieto, and Montepulciano. The open floor plan was fantastic and we definitely made great use of the huge dining table in the very large family room. We hope that someday we can return to Italy and rent this property again.

We were 12, spread out in the big villa. We wanted to visit the Latium and have fun together. We used the villa as a base and visited: Viterbo, Palazzo Farnese in Capraiola, Bomarzo, Palazzo Ruspoli in Vignanello (about an hour's drive); a day in Assisi & Perugia (1.5 hours drive);the Vatican; Villa Adriana & Villa d'Este in Tivoli (about 1.5 hours drive). We enjoyed the Pizzeria next door and the nearby restaurant cooked two delicious meals for us; their sausages are a miracle! The house was great, comfortable, the beds an invitation to sleep. The silence is impressive and the view fantastic. I can recommend this place with all my heart and fondest memories.

We rented this beautiful property Villa Rovani for a total of 17 guests. The ages ranged from 5 months to 92 years old. The landscape and scenery were absolutely beautiful. The location was a good mid point for those wanting to travel north to Florence and also south to Rome. The train station was about 20 minutes away and it took about 40 minutes to Termini. We used the swimming pool, BBQ and football/tennis court/field. Mostly we enjoyed the outdoors and the amazing landscape. The owner and manager of the property were very helpful and we would definitely stay at this property again.
