PROPERTY INFORMATION

|
| Only an hour from Rome, this wonderful home with its marvellous air of rusticity, modestly described as a “peasant palace” by its owners, was built by a Renaissance Prince of the Papal State, with spectacular views of the surrounding Sabine hills. Dominating the hamlet of Oliveto, its situation at 1,800 feet, makes it wonderfully cool in the summer. Located in 3 hectares of olive groves and gardens, the atmosphere at the Palazzo is one of great comfort, family history, frescoes, antiques, originality – and good food! The mainstay of Palazzo Parisi is Rita, who can cook Italian food like few others. On one floor one finds communal living areas, abundant sofas and armchairs, and two bedroom suites, while guest bedrooms, children’s rooms and secondary sitting areas on the upper floor are far enough away to provide privacy. The house is adored by children, with a ping pong room, a large array of games, and a virtual treasure house for the curious and adventurous (supervised) child.The curious floor scale of the Palazzo is designed to confuse: steps leading up from the entrance to seemingly a first floor, yet referred to firmly by its owners as “ground floor, piazza level!”. On 3 sides, smaller village houses nestle against it, whilst against the fourth is a beautiful and private garden , complete with disused family chapel. The natural grounds, landscaped by Arabella Lennox-Boyd, have been sensitively combined with a more formal garden area, leading to the pool area with its magnificent views. Extra comfort is provided with a pool house, umbrellas for shade and elegant sun loungers. |
