3 Bedroom Villa in Poggio Catino

WELCOME TO VILLA DEGLI ARMENI
A unique holiday rental in the Sabine Hills, near Rome.
WHY CHOOSE OUR VILLA? ONE WORD: LOCATION!
The location is, literally, breathtaking: perched 500m up on the side of the mountain commanding views across the picturesque rolling hills of the Sabina, distant mountains, the Tiber Valley and on to Rome itself, on a clear day you can see the Dome of St. Peter's on the horizon.
The villa is surrounded by forest and enjoys total peace, quiet and privacy. Guests enjoy exclusive use of the entire house and garden, which it's own gate and private access. It's hard to believe all this is just a little over one hour from the hustle and bustle of Rome, but by choosing Villa degli Armeni you get the best of both worlds.
A UNIQUE HOME
The villa itself was built in the 1960s and retains many original mid century features like the stone fireplace, lofty gabled ceilings, arches and ironwork. Thereโ€™s an abundance of windows to let in natural light and to look out on the forest and spectacular views.
The villa is full of art and other objects we've collected over the years, we like our guests to feel they are in a real home with its own character and history.
SPREAD OUT AND RELAX
It's a spacious house capable of hosting a larger party of family or friends as well as being a great relaxing retreat for a couple. Plenty of space means that everyone can find their own private spot, or get together in larger groups for a leisurely meal or chat.
The large living and dining room is a cool and comfortable retreat in the summer and the cosy heart of the house in the cooler months, with its stone fireplace. Connected to the living room by double doors is another sitting room and studio, the sofa in here folds out to provide a small double bed if needed.
OUTSIDE SPACES
A variety of outdoor areas around the villa means you'll always find a sunny spot for sunbathing, or a shady spot for reading, somewhere. Outside on the porch and balcony youโ€™ll find tables and chairs for al fresco dining, deckchairs, a sofa and lounger. Just outside the kitchen is a a gas barbecue.
BEDROOMS WITH A VIEW
There are two large double bedrooms: the one at the front has three arched windows with incredible views to wake up to. The second double bedroom looks out onto the tree canopy and has itโ€™s own ensuite bathroom (with bath) and terrace, it can be set up with a double bed or two singles. In between is a smaller room with 1 single bed, also opening onto the terrace, and another bathroom with a shower. All rooms except the small bedroom have ceiling fans, there is no need for air con.
GET COOKING
The spacious kitchen is equipped with dishwasher, microwave, fridge freezer and oven, granite worktops, small table and everything youโ€™ll need to cook with.
VILLA DEGLI ARMENI AND THE SABINA REGION ARE PERFECT FOR:
- Couples and families looking to spend quality time together in a relaxing environment
- Slow travelers looking for an authentic experience of real Italy
- Nature lovers and hikers
- Foodies! The area has great local produce and some fabulous restaurants
- Anyone looking for the luxury of time, privacy, and quiet
- Anyone looking for a relaxing villa holiday without missing out on one of the world's top destinations, Rome!
and because we are all different, it would be less than honest of me not to add
WHO OUR VILLA MAY NOT BE THE BEST FIT FOR:
- people who are mobility challenged or parents of reckless toddlers, because of the steps up to the house
- anyone with insect phobias, the windows all have screens but we are surrounded by forest and along with that comes the occasional ant, bug, or spider.
- you will need a car to stay at our villa, even to get into the village for an ice cream, and any sights you may want to visit will mean a drive.
- looking for nightlife? Go elsewhere because the biggest nighttime attractions here are the milky way or perhaps spotting a porcupine.

Summary: The villa was comfy and well kitted out and the setting was amazing. The villa is beginning to show its age. The photos on Vrbo need updating as there is no pool and the garden needs some TLC. Kate was helpful in answering any questions.

Summary: I travelled with my partner and our dog for my sabbatical leave and we enjoyed our stay beyond expectation. The house has a wonderful vibec and is also very practical- it shows, that it was not built only to rent it, but has a real soul and human touch. We enjoyed the breathtaking views from the balcony and terrace, and also the days we stayed in and just relaxed. Our stay took place in October and November, some nights were a bit colder, but most of the days are nice and sunny. I definitely recommend to stay in this beautiful house. Kate, altough we have not met in person, was always very helpful and answered everything promtly. I ppretiated also the tips for trips and restaurants we recieved prior to our stay. The village of Poggio Catino is also very charming and people extremely welcoming.

Summary: We really enjoyed our time in the peaceful countryside of Italy, and having this house as a home base was just perfect. It is very private with a locking gate and no neighbors in view. The home itself is very stylishly appointed with many interesting books and art pieces. The views from the sitting room and patio are stunning!!! We enjoyed several sunsets and watched an amazing thunderstorm roll through one evening as well. The homeowner Kate responded very promptly when we had questions while there. She also checked in to make sure we were doing well, and to see if we needed any suggestions on things to do. Prior to our arrival she had sent some links to her favorite things in the area and we did several of them. We recommend Bomarzo Gardens, and exploring Poggio Catino itself as well as the Hermitage up the mountain. This property is in the country. You will be driving up a lot of winding roads to get there. For us this is perfect as we love to wander. The town of Poggio Catino is mostly Italian speaking. Again, to us this added to the adventure, but communication was sometimes a challenge involving pantomiming, lol. Everyone we encountered in small towns was very kind even with our poor Italian, and always did the best they could to communicate with us and understand what we needed. When visiting larger towns or cities ( Rome, Orvieto, and Ostia Antica), english was more widely spoken. I would highly recommend this home for those looking to experience the "real" Italian countryside. ~ Rene & Mike

Summary: The villa is in a stunning location in the hills, where you can experience true rural Italy. The route up to it is windy, with great views and there is plenty of space for parking at the property. It is a 20-30 minute (pleasant) drive to the local railway station. We found the villa to be a very comfortable place to stay with all the facilities we needed. It feels quite spacious with high ceilings helping to enhance this. It is clear that the owners use the villa as well and there are a number of personal items around - we loved this aspect as it made the place seem immediately welcoming. The villa does not have air conditioning, but even in the height of summer we did not find this a problem as the windows all have insect screens, so we could leave the windows open and get a nice through-breeze (and of course it is cooler in the hills). The one thing we did notice was that the area is incredibly peaceful, but sound travels a long way in the hills so some nights we were disturbed by the sounds of barking dogs during the night - take ear-plugs if you are a light sleeper! The owners had put a temporary raised swimming pool in the front garden that was quite welcoming when coming home from a hot day in Rome! We made full use of the barbecue, cooker, washing machine etc and everything worked well (the barbecue in the thunderstorm being particularly memorable!). The owners were very helpful and sent us lots of information about the area beforehand. They also replied quickly to our communications (via e-mail) before, during and after the holiday (e.g. when we found the satellite TV did not work). Overall we would recommend this property and would consider returning to it in the future.
