Dimora Di Lazzè

Details of the Chateau

Dimora Di Lazze is an exclusive manor, sitting in 200,000m2 of private parkland and manicured gardens just one hour outside of Rome. This incredible seven-bedroom home has been in the same family since the nineteenth century when the house was extended, and all of the now mature trees were lovingly planted. In recent years, the house has been fully renovated and is now a luxurious retreat for holidaymakers. A truly magnificent building decorated to the highest standards and offering all the amenities you need for a relaxing family holiday. Many of the original features have been preserved during renovations, so you can enjoy antique furnishings, traditional floor tiles, vaulted ceilings and fireplaces alongside modern luxuries such as a gym and a cinema room. The owners have gone the extra mile to create an exclusive oasis at Dimora Di Lazze and have even created a villa which is free from electro-smog which means the home has no electromagnetic pollution and is designed to be as eco-friendly as possible while not compromising on comfort. The eco-friendly feel of the house stems from the surrounding gardens and private parkland which is filled with giant oak and pine trees, lawns, florals and charming seating areas. The garden also features a fully-fenced pool, ideal for days relaxing in the sun and also safe for children. This secluded villa is located close to the commune of Capranica; alongside the Via Francigena the ancient pilgrim road which is filled with archaeological gems and sites along the way. This is a beautiful location in the heart of the historical area of Tuscia which covers parts of Umbria, Lazio and Tuscany and is rich in art, history and unrivalled natural beauty. The villa is set back in its own private parkland but still has shops, restaurants and little villages nearby for you to stock up on supplies or eat out, so you are not isolated. Though situated in a semi-rural area, this beautiful villa is only 65km away from the capital city of Rome, so you can enjoy local countryside and villages and then be in the capital city within an hour. Rome is a must-see city with a wealth of things to see and do which will be loved by your whole party, the main attractions of the Colosseum, St. Peter's Basilica and the Trevi fountain are all just an hour from the villa. Plus make sure you walk a bit off the beaten track to see more of the personality of the real Rome, maybe you could take a more unusual tour such as a street art tour or a trip on a night tram tour. ***Please note that whilst the property has been featured in Umbria, it is however located in Lazio.*** #### Features Maximum Capacity: 14 guests (10 adults + 4 children) Dimora Interior Ground Floor - Hall - Sitting room with fireplace - Large dining room - Modern, fully-equipped kitchen with hobs, oven, microwave and toaster - Studio - Bathroom - Garden access First Floor - Four double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms - Two single bedrooms Lower Ground Floor (140m2 apartment) - Cinema room - Gym - Table tennis area - King-size bed and two single beds - Two bathrooms with showers - Access to garden Outside Grounds - 200,000m2 of parkland - Well-kept gardens with lawns and mature trees - Fully-fenced swimming pool (4m x 12m, depth:1.45m), open approximately mid-May to mid-September - Pool-side sun loungers - Outdoor seating areas - Covered dining area - Outdoor solar shower - Parking Facilities - Wi-Fi - Heating - Fancoil cooling - Smart TV - DVD Player and films in multiple languages - Stereo & CD player - Bluetooth speaker - Games - Gym - Adults and kids bikes - Inflatables for the pool - Games (volleyball, archery, giant chess board, football) #### Location Dimora Di Lazze is situated in exclusive private parklands within the region historically known as Tuscia which today includes Lazio and Umbria.

This rural landscape is also ideal for those who enjoy sporting pursuits for example; golf, tennis, sailing, kayaking, hiking and horse-riding are all on offer under twenty-minutes away. There are plenty of small villages and towns dotted around the area surrounding the villa which are ideal for visiting to stock up on provisions or to discover some local delicacies at small restaurants. Capranica is just 5km away and has a lovely medieval old town inside defensive walls as well as new areas. Another local town is Viterbo which is 20km away; this often-overlooked town is a nice place to visit and includes some incredible sites such as the Palazzo dei Papi which was lived in by thirteenth-century popes. It is a good idea to book onto a tour which encompasses a number of sites such as this, the fantastic Palazzo Farnese and tombs of the Popes nearby. If palaces and papal history are not your thing, then instead there are many wine tasting tours available to local vineyards! Just an hour away from these medieval villages and woodlands around the villa, is one of the world's greatest cities and the capital of Italy; Rome. You may need to visit Rome on more than one occasion as there is so much to see and do there. You are likely to want to visit some of the most famous attractions such as the Colosseum and the Roman Forum so set off early to make the most of your day exploring. Rome is also a great hub for shopping, trendy bars, music venues and chic restaurants over-looking picturesque piazzas. Another must-visit place close to Rome is the Vatican City, the home of the Papacy. Here you can see the breath-taking Sistene Chapel, St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican museums. If you wish to visit a number of these attractions you can often buy a joint ticket or an early entry pass which means you can enjoy the beautiful buildings with fewer crowds. ***Please note that the property has been featured in Umbria, yet it is located in Lazio.***
