Montepietraia e San Martino 18

Property Description

Property Summary

Nestled in the enchanting Tuscia area of the province of Viterbo, in the heart of Italy, Montepietraia and San Martino Country House is an exceptional vacation rental comprising 2 independent villas set within a beautifully maintained park and surrounded by a vast organic olive grove known as L'Olivaia. Located between the Roman amphitheater of Sutri and the ancient Via Francigena, this remarkable property sits at the center of 4 volcanic lakes — Bracciano, Vico, Martignano, and Monterosi — offering an atmosphere of rare natural beauty and historical depth. The 2 villas are thoughtfully designed to accommodate families or groups of friends who wish to enjoy both convivial moments and personal privacy, much like life in a small, intimate hamlet where a central square connects and gently separates the 2 residences. Every detail of the interiors has been curated with great taste and attention to functionality and comfort. The property benefits from a generous yard that spans multiple levels, immersed in the colors and fragrances of the surrounding olive grove and ornamental gardens. High-speed Internet WiFi is available throughout the property, ensuring connectivity for all guests. A private covered parking spot is conveniently located directly in front of the main entrances of both villas, offering ease and security for arriving guests.

Outdoors

The park surrounding Montepietraia and San Martino Country House is a true sanctuary of natural beauty, structured across multiple levels and embraced by the expansive olive grove of L'Olivaia. An ancient oak tree provides shade to a Liberty-era gazebo furnished with armchairs and sofas and encircled by roses and rhododendrons, creating an idyllic corner for quiet relaxation. The lawns surrounding the villas are adorned with precious varieties of hydrangeas, azaleas, and lilies-of-the-Nile in a range of colors, while a wrought-iron greenhouse and a furnished terrace occupy one side of the garden. At the center of the property, a charming square shaded by trees features a large rose bed, reinforcing the feel of a private countryside hamlet. A wooden structure within the Sorrentine orange orchard serves as a dedicated greenhouse for protecting citrus fruits. The large porch in front of the garden and pool area is the ideal setting for outdoor dining and relaxation, and nearby, a brick-built structure is equipped with a barbecue and sink for al fresco cooking. A resin-paved surface in the park accommodates a professional ping-pong table, providing recreational entertainment for guests of all ages. Please note that the photographs of the property were taken in spring, and therefore the blossoming of flowers and the color of the garden grass may differ at the time of your arrival.

The property offers 2 swimming pools, both immersed in the garden directly in front of the villas, available to guests from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October. The main pool is a distinctive composition of 2 connected pools with an infinity edge. The first measures 8 x 3.5 m with a depth ranging from 1.20 m to 1.80 m and features 6 decorative fountains, while the second measures 8 x 5 m with a constant depth of 1.20 m. Both are lined in white PVC and accessed via a ladder. The surrounding lawn area is equipped with deck chairs, sunbeds, and small tables. The second swimming pool is rectangular in shape, measuring 5 x 12 m with a constant depth of 1.20 m, lined in PVC with chlorine purification and accessed by a ladder. Its sunbathing terrace, paved in terracotta, is furnished with sunbeds, deckchairs, a gazebo with armchairs, and an outdoor dining space complete with a large umbrella, table, and chairs. A solar-heated shower is also available in this pool area. Neither pool is heated.
