Montepietraia and San Martino Country House is a complex of two independent villas, framed by a well-kept park and immersed in a vast olive grove of the L'Olivaia Farm, very suitable for families or groups of friends who want to spend relaxing days together in company, but safeguarding their privacy in defined spaces. As in a tiny village, a central square unites and separates the two structures, both tastefully furnished and equipped down to the smallest detail to ensure full comfort and functionality for guests. Montepietraia is the largest villa, with 5 bedrooms and large common areas. San Martino, about 15 m away, is on one level and houses 4 rooms. In the large garden they share, overflowing with scents and colors, there are many common areas for recreation and relaxation: the porch for outdoor dining, the living areas with gazebos for relaxing in the shade and two equipped pools. The property is located at the center of a system of lakes (Bracciano, Vico, Martignano, Monterosi), in the landscape of Tuscia Viterbo, a vast area located north of Rome, of great natural value, and which houses a historical, archaeological and artistic heritage of absolute importance. The location is perfect, the capital is about 40km away and there are numerous tourist resorts in the surrounding area to explore: Lake Bracciano, overlooked by suggestive medieval villages, the Etruscan settlements of Tarquinia, Viterbo, the “papal city”, famous for its thermal waters. The excellent road connections allow you to quickly reach the wonderful beaches of the Tyrrhenian coast. L'Olivaia is a certified organic and D.O.P. Tuscia company. It extends over the Tuscia hills, between the Roman amphitheater of Sutri and the ancient Via Francigena, at the center of four volcanic lakes that determine optimal soil and climate conditions for the development of the olive tree. The olive grove covers about 20 hectares with more than 7000 olive trees and is organized by fields and cultivars in order to allow the separate collection of Leccino, Frantoio, Maurino and native cultivars including Caninese and Bolzone, following their different maturation. English roses, planted at every start of the row, restore color and fragrance to the fields and indicate the different cultivars. The farm's activities take place in areas that do not disturb the quiet of homes. In the months of October, November and December, the olives are harvested in which it is possible for guests to participate and get the equivalent of the olives collected in oil, pressed in the Tuscus family mill in nearby Vetralla. The villas are located a few steps from a prestigious golf center, characterized by two golf courses (with 18 holes) of enormous quality and international fame: it is the Le Querce Golf Club, headquarters of the Italian Golf Federation that borders the property and is within walking distance; a true paradise for golfers and for all those who love to have healthy outdoor fun!
