9 bedrooms villa, 1347 m²

Tarano, Rieti (province)

sabina

Perched majestically on a hilltop overlooking the Umbrian and Roman countryside, this exceptional 10-acre estate commands sweeping 360-degree views out over Calvi dell'Umbria and the medieval hilltop villages of the Sabina. Built on a 7th-century church site and transformed into a 17th-century noble hunting lodge, "Casino Rosati" was restored in the 2000s by noted architect Patrizio Romano Paris, blending architectural heritage with contemporary minimalism.
Inside, the 850 sqm main villa is a minimalist sanctuary. The ground floor open reception rooms, highlighted by two monumental fireplaces, feature glass metal-framed French doors filling the space with natural light. The dining area and two professional chef's kitchens, outfitted with stainless steel cabinets and top appliances, open to an elegant portico. A Roman-inspired wellness area with gym, mosaic-lined hammam, and sauna completes this level.
Upstairs, a grand salon with skylight ceiling separates a 160 sqm air-conditioned master suite-featuring two en-suite bedrooms, a study, fireplace, and private terrace-from four en-suite guest bedrooms, including a duplex with two fireplaces.
Mature cypress and specimen trees encircle the villa, leading from the crushed stone drive entrance and its 18th-century private chapel, to formal stone terraces with a Roman bath and lily ponds, to a 16×8m travertine saltwater swimming pool. The estate includes a separate 140 sqm 3-bedroom guest apartment, a garage and cellar, and a 3.2-hectare olive grove with 300+ trees. A rare sanctuary of history, light, and privacy, just 50 minutes from Rome.
