Villa Giulio

Villa Giulio (sleeps 10 +2) is the impressive and welcoming result of the total restoration of this former hunting lodge of the lords of Castello di Proceno, few miles away. Sitting on a hillside in the middle of an area dear to the Etruscans, the house looks out over a vast sweep of Tuscan countryside, where vestiges of Etruscan culture still exist.  About a 5 minute drive from the house is a village with a grocery store and a typical trattoria inside the medieval walls, while just a few steps outside in a newer area is, quite unexpectedly, a Michelin starred restaurant.

On the Ground Floor of Villa Giulio

Villa Giulio has 2 full floors with high ceilings and 400 sq meters of living area (about 4,400 sq.ft). On the ground floor is a very large living room with fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen, a breakfast room, a bathroom with shower for the disabled, and adjacent to the dining room, doors open outside to a wide covered portico with fireplace, barbecue and large dining table. There is also a washing machine at the back near the kitchen. In addition, on the ground floor is a separate 1-bedroom apartment with study, bathroom with shower, and dining room with a small kitchen.

Upstairs Bedrooms at Villa Giulio

Stairs lead from the entrance hall to the upper floor where you arrive at a lounge with a large fireplace. From here you enter 3 double bedrooms and 1 twin bedroom that becomes a double if you need it. Additionally, a study has a mezzanine floor with 2 single beds suitable for children. Of the 4 bathrooms 2 have a bath and 2 have a shower. The house is impeccably furnished and offers a series of amenities. The bathrooms includes bidets and hair dryers. Each bedroom has a combination safe for guests’ use, and all windows have mosquito screens.

Garden and Pool at Villa Giulio

A short walk up a few steps and thru a grove of trees takes you to the private 6 x 12 meter swimming pool. At the end of the pool is a covered terrace, a changing room cabana and an outdoor shower. There’s also a delightful table and seats under the trees. A separate storage building by the entry gate holds the garden furniture in the winter.

Location of the Villa in Northern Lazio

The property is surrounded by 5 acres (2 hectares) of fenced-in grounds. You can reach it by a 5-minute drive along an almost 2-mile dirt track from the village of Trevinano on the border of Tuscany and Lazio.

Cooking school and Restaurant of the Owners

The owner of the villa has a restaurant and a cooking school where guests can learn in English the secrets of authentic Italian cuisine. Courses are held on request, and offer a splendid chance to immerse oneself in the unique lifestyle and hospitality of a 1000 year old little village grown around its Castle while learning to prepare a full menu of dishes typical to this region called Tuscia, with wine appreciation and to how best combine food and wine.
