Agriturismo Sant'Ilario sul Farfa

Nestled in the lush hills of Sabina, at an elevation of 420 meters and overlooking the enchanting valley of the Farfa River, Agriturismo Sant'Ilario sul Farfa offers its guests a tranquil and authentic natural setting, situated less than an hour from Rome and just a few kilometers from Rieti. Established in 1995 within a certified organic farm spanning approximately eight hectares, it is the perfect destination for those looking to slow down their daily pace and rediscover balance among nature, wellness, and tradition.

Accommodation is provided in two traditional Sabine farmhouses, fully renovated to honor local architecture. The lodgings include six independent rooms and three comfortable apartments furnished with late 19th-century antiques, each equipped with private bathrooms, heating, and refrigerators. The Mimosa apartment features a kitchen, while Robinia and Ciclamino offer kitchenette facilities. Upon request, cribs or toddler beds can be added, making it suitable for families.

The property is surrounded by olive groves and spacious green areas designed for relaxation and outdoor living. Guests can enjoy a swimming pool with a salt filtration system free of chlorine, volleyball and five-a-side football courts, a ping-pong table, outdoor fitness zones, and scenic trails perfect for hiking and refreshing walks. Nearby, there is a pond for sport fishing and an equestrian center for horseback riding and lessons. Numerous quiet spots among century-old trees invite meditation, reading, or simply enjoying the peace of the countryside.

At the heart of the experience is the organic farm, primarily olive-growing, featuring about eight hundred local variety trees, an orchard, seasonal vegetable gardens, and small free-range livestock. The farm's products take center stage in the cuisine offered in the panoramic dining room or in outdoor spaces during the warmer months. Traditional Sabine dishes are prepared using zero-kilometer ingredients such as extra virgin olive oil, vegetables, fruits, eggs, homemade preserves, and desserts, complemented by local wines. The kitchen emphasizes authentic flavors and also caters to vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free guests. Cooking classes, tastings of oils and wines, and opportunities to explore local culinary traditions are organized.

The agriturismo also hosts cultural events, musical evenings featuring classical, lyrical, and jazz repertoires, thematic gatherings, yoga retreats, and professional seminars, making it suitable for ceremonies, receptions, and team-building activities. The facilities are accessible and equipped to accommodate individuals with disabilities.

Special attention is given to guests traveling with pets: a large fenced area allows dogs to move freely in safety and is also ideal for canine activities and agility courses, with a small fee based on the length of stay.

This strategic location enables easy exploration of some of the most captivating destinations in Sabina and the Santa Reatina Valley, including abbeys, medieval villages, castles, and nature trails of significant historical and spiritual value. With convenient train connections to Rome, the property is an excellent choice for both relaxing stays immersed in nature and as a starting point for discovering authentic Lazio.
