Lazio/ Umbria border country villa rental: Villa Rubia is a modern villa built within a Roman archaeological site in the open countryside surrounded by verdant hills and extensive parkland, right on the border between Umbria and Lazio. Not far from here, the river Tiber bends as it is crossed over by the ancient Roman via Flaminia connecting Rome to Rimini on the Adriatic coast through the Apennine mountains.

Situated in a slightly elevated position, Villa Rubia enjoys far reaching views over the fields, olive groves and hills which can be admired from the bedrooms and the living room thanks to its modern architecture incorporating large glass panels, windows and French doors opening onto the garden and terraced patio area. A covered gazebo provides ample space for your summer dinners al fresco, surrounded by an enchanting atmosphere. Children and adults alike will enjoy exploring the grounds of this villa in search of clues from the Roman era and, if you take a pleasant stroll, you can see what remains of a once glorious amphitheatre in Otricoli.

Dotted with many archaeological sites charting its Latin/Etruscan heritage, this area enjoys a very peaceful atmosphere and charm of days gone by. The beautiful but little-known area, known as Tuscia, around the splendid town of Viterbo is a patchwork of the finest Italian landscape where you can find fortified hilltop villages, wild ravines, Medieval monasteries such as Vitorchiano, and age-old pilgrimage routes. During the Renaissance many influential aristocratic families built their palaces in this region chosen for its unspoilt beauty and the proximity to the Eternal City. The convenient location of Villa Rubia enables you to easily reach some of the most attractive destinations in Lazio, Umbria and Tuscany. In just over one hour you can in fact sunbathe on the sandy beaches of the Tyrrhenian coast, such as Lido di Tarquinia or Riva dei Tarquini, or on the volcanic beaches of Lake Bolsena where many water sports are available. For everything else, Rome is just an hour's drive from Villa Rubia.
