Rifugio DiVino is a countryside retreat nestled in the lush hills of Lazio, approximately an hour from Rome, designed for those seeking an extraordinary getaway that combines nature, gastronomy, and relaxation. The property is located in Castelfranco di Rieti, just a few kilometers from the city center, near the La Foresta Sanctuary and a short distance from Monte Terminillo, a popular destination even in winter.

One of the most unique experiences offered is the opportunity to stay in authentic oak barrels transformed into charming mini-suites. Each barrel is surrounded by the tranquility of the countryside and provides all modern comforts, achieving a perfect balance between a romantic atmosphere and convenience. Here, time seems to slow down, and every detail is crafted to create a sense of intimacy and well-being, far removed from traditional rural hospitality models.

The stay includes breakfast with fresh, local products, linens, Wi-Fi, and air conditioning, along with the option to enhance the experience with additional services upon request. Guests can indulge in relaxation in the wellness area featuring a Finnish sauna and a wood-fired hot tub, book massages performed by professional therapists, or participate in guided tastings at the on-site winery, Cantina Le Macchie, which offers tours and dedicated wine paths.

Just a short walk from the retreat is Ristorante La Foresta, a historic family-run establishment where traditional cuisine meets a contemporary vision. The menu follows the seasons and emphasizes local ingredients, with offerings of meat and fish while catering to various dietary needs. The restaurant's wine cellar boasts a selection of over six hundred Italian and international labels, perfect for complementing gourmet dinners, tasting menus, or special occasions.

The area of Castelfranco di Rieti presents an authentic and surprisingly diverse setting, perfect for those looking to explore a lesser-known Lazio characterized by nature, spirituality, historic villages, and genuine flavors. The Rifugio DiVino is nestled in a tranquil and green hilly landscape, where the pace of life still aligns with the seasons, and a connection to the environment is an essential part of the experience.

Just a few minutes away is Rieti, a city with an ancient history, traversed by the Velino River and surrounded by medieval walls, featuring an elegant and compact historic center. Strolling through its squares, churches, and historic buildings allows visitors to experience an authentic atmosphere, far removed from mass tourism, enriched by a strong and distinctive culinary tradition.

The region is closely tied to Franciscan spirituality. Nearby, you can find some of the most picturesque sanctuaries along the Path of Francis, such as the La Foresta Sanctuary, nestled in greenery and accessible via pleasant walks, making it an ideal spot for those seeking tranquility, reflection, and beautiful landscapes.

Nature enthusiasts can explore the Sabina and the Santa Reatina Valley, with its trails, forests, and hills adorned with olive groves and vineyards.
