Etruscan Retreat

This is la dolce vita at its finest, with two impeccably restored stone villas set among views of olive groves and Lazio’s rolling vineyards. If that's not enough, you’re directly on the path of the Via Francigena, with Umbria and Tuscany at your doorstep for day trips to Italy’s medieval wine towns. Inside, things feel classically Italian, with just enough modern touches. Outdoors, there's plenty of spots for dining al fresco, whether on the main terrace or in quieter corners of the grounds. The saltwater infinity pool is a real treat, but even better? A pavilion that converts into an open air cinema. Bedrooms are spread across both villas, with connecting rooms and king-size beds that can split into singles.
