In Sabina, Italy
In Sabina, a simple and elegant retreat in the heart of the Sabine Hills, just north of Rome near Umbria. Two beautifully restored 17th C. stone farmhouses with terraces open out to a gentle panorama of olive groves, fruit trees, woodlands and stunning sunsets. The property spans over several lush acres with a natural spring, gardens and outdoor swimming pool. There are quiet indoor/outdoor spaces ideal for yoga, meditation and reading. There is also an excellent therapist on site.
Comfortable rooms are elegantly furnished with antiques and modern decor. Four of the bedrooms are ensuite; one has its own toilet and basin; others share bathrooms between two rooms. Rooms are allocated on a first come, first served basis, so if you want to come its wise to book right away.
