This pristine ancient land has long been the home of the farmhouse-fortress which the Benedictine monks of Farfa built above pre-existing Roman ruins in the middle ages. The farmhouse long served as a first line of defense for one of Europe's most powerful abbeys. Over the past two centuries the farm has been transformed thanks to the passion and care of the Corradini-Rocci family who blended classical culture with agrarian activities. At the beginning of the twentieth century the Rocci brothers were the owners of the farm. Filippo was a famous photographer, and Lorenzo was the most eminent Italian Hellenist and author of the reknown Classical Greek dictionary which is used to this day by translators and Classical scholars. Their heirs have carried on the tradition of high culture and bucolic living with the same dedication and love that theirancestors instilled in them. Life at the Agriturismo  means a return to the beauties of nature, a rediscovery of the splendid colors and scents of the orchards and fields, while staying in a tastefully renovated farmhouse that guarantees the greatest of comfort and relaxation. Sunlit single and double rooms, as well as apartments with terraces and balconies are available. Guests can sunbathe while admiring the beautiful Sabine landscape during the day, or enjoy leisurely walks in the magic of the Mediterranean twilight. At the Agriturismo  guests can strolling through the cool shade of the olive groves. They can also observe the daily activities of a working farm.
