Local Area

There is wonderful sightseeing in the immediate vicinity, as well as Rome which can be visited for the day by car or train.

Palazzo Parisi – in the village, can be visited if it is not let to guests.  It dates as a castle from the 15th century, though the village is recorded in an 11th century document.

There are two gems near Oliveto – The Romanesque church of S Vittoria (6kms) is on the road to Monteleone and dates from the 11th century and The Abbazia of Farfa (20kms)is a beautiful working monastery.

Poggio San Lorenzo (10kms) is a charming village.  It lay on the course of the via Salaria in the 17th century and as a result, has some pleasant town houses of that period.

Roccasinibalda (8kms) – the great castle is sometimes open.

Nerola (25kms) has a fine castle which is very occasionally open.

Labro, north of Rieti, is a pretty and completely unspoilt village.  The owner will show you around her Palazzo.

The dramatic waterfalls of Marmore nearby, the largest manmade falls in the world and constructed by a Roman consul to drain the Rieti marshes, are a famous beauty spot.

Casperia, west of Rieti, is a pretty village.
