ITALIAN VACATION RENTALS - PALAZZO ROCALVECCE
100 KMS NORTH OF ROME, CLOSE TO THE UMBRIA BORDER.

Immerse yourself in a dream whilst staying in this ancient Italian Palazzo. Situated in northern Lazio, close to Orvieto in Umbria, the palazzo sits on top of a high hill, forming part of the central square of an antique village of 200 people, from where one can enjoy the stunning panorama of the surrounding countryside. Time seems to have stopped in this small village, with its characteristic piazza, onto which the entrance of the palazzo faces.

The owners, descendants from the noble family that built the palazzo, have recently restored the building with excellent taste, respecting all of the historical characteristics of the palazzo, from the carved wooden ceilings to the original frescoes, particularly delightful in the dining room. The entrance hall is decorated with antique arms and family emblems, reminding you of the glorious times of the palazzo.

The palazzo is divided into three levels: the ground floor where two elegant apartments have been renovated, both with an independent entrance; the first floor or "Piano Nobile", given this name as the original noble family lived here; the second floor - divided into seven apartments for rent. The apartments on the upper floor are completely independent of the other accommodation.

The privacy of the Piano Nobile is guaranteed in regards to the other two levels, as the very high ceilings and thick walls stop any noise penetrating from the other floors.

Elegance and attention to detail can be found everywhere on the Piano Nobile, due to the professional work of the owner's wife, a brilliant architect who personally designed some of the décor. All of the baths are elegantly restored and follow the style of the palazzo.
