Casa Poggio

Casa Poggio Casa Poggio is an old stone farmhouse sleeping eight in the heart of the Sabine Hills, just 40 miles This is a place to truly unwind.

Casa Poggio – ‘the house on the hill’ – is set in a peaceful olive grove just an hour outside Rome. The views are spectacular – bedrooms face the mountains of Umbria; the living room overlooks the Tiber Valley, while from the dining terrace you can make out the dome of St Peter’s on the horizon. The house has thick stone walls, antique terracotta floors, chestnut beams and whitewashed walls. Furni

ture is simple and comfortable; reading lights good; the large kitchen is equipped for serious cooks. We have a refreshing plunge pool for cooling off, plus three lovely public pools and river swimming within a 15 minute drive. Casa Poggio is well-placed for exploring Sabina’s undiscovered hilltop towns (the foodie centre of Poggio Mirteto is just five minutes away), and for day-trips to Rome (45 mins by train). Orvieto, Viterbo, Spoleto, Assisi and Perugia are also within hitting distance – if you can tear yourselves away from the terrace, the endlessly compulsive views and the birdsong.

Stupendous iris. Porcupine and wild boar love digging up and eating iris bulbs, so this glorious blaze of colour is a little victory against nature, tooth and claw.

Our friend, neighbour and olive oil expert Johnny Madge is in the Guardian - thanks to his Zoom olive oil tastings. We recommend the real thing, preferably on the terrace at Casa Poggio. Columnist Rachel Roddy also has connections to Sabina - she used to run a children’s summer school with our neighbour Ruth, just a ten minute walk from the house. Then her food blog got noticed... and a publishing deal followed. We love her Insta feed for a blast of Roman dolce vita.

An olive oil tasting on Zoom takes an unexpected turn to a moist, moreish apple cake

Friday is market day: you can almost taste those tomatoes.... that cheese... that oil.
Classy picture by Francesco & friends - stylish Romans renting Casa Poggio for the month of June. After 3 months of draconian lockdown, it must feel so exhilarating.
