Casa Nova is a beautiful 18th C farmhouse in the midst of a farm close to the Umbrian hilltop village of Otricoli. The nearby Rome-Florence motorway provides excellent access to these two cities. The ruins of a small Roman municipium called Ocriculum are dotted around the farmland. The farmhouse has an above ground swimming pool and an outside dining table and benches made entirely out of ancient Roman travertine blocks found on the farm, soccer and volley for the children. The river Tiber is 200 m from the house and you can do wonderful walks in the area. The 4 living room and 4 bathrooms apartment has a large working fire-place, and the rooms are all charming and cosy.
