Il Casale dei Castagni - A Villa Surrounded by Greenery in Caprarola
Casale dei Castagni is a splendid and imposing estate situated at an altitude of 600 meters, nestled within a vast 3-hectare private park featuring majestic, centuries-old chestnut trees. This true corner of paradise is located just 65 km from Rome, a stone’s throw from the historic center of Caprarola, one of Italy’s most beautiful villages.
The property consists of two adjoining villas: the property available for rent is the main villa, a completely independent residence spread over two floors with two separate entrances. There is also a guesthouse within the grounds, which is not available for rent and ensures maximum privacy. With its 10 beds, the villa is the ideal choice for large families or groups of friends, and is also ready to welcome your pets (for an additional fee).
The main villa is spread over two spacious and well-laid-out levels, accessible via two separate entrances. On the first floor, you’re greeted by a living room featuring a comfortable double sofa bed, served by a nearby bathroom and a kitchen. Going up to the upper level via the internal staircase, you reach the sleeping area, consisting of three double bedrooms and a fourth bedroom equipped with a bunk bed. This floor has two additional bathrooms, one of which has a shower. To keep the rooms cool during the summer, the house is equipped with fans. The absolute highlight of Casale dei Castagni is its vast outdoor space. The expansive garden is equipped to entertain both adults and children, offering a dedicated play area, a ping-pong table, and a soccer field.
The farmhouse’s location perfectly combines the tranquility of nature with proximity to unique historical treasures. Just a short distance away lies the historic center of Caprarola, world-renowned for the majestic Palazzo Farnese—one of Europe’s greatest Renaissance masterpieces, featuring spectacular frescoed gardens.
In just a 10-minute drive, you can reach the Lake Vico Nature Reserve, a pristine volcanic lake ideal for cooling off in the summer, canoeing, horseback riding, or hiking through the beech forests. The property also serves as a strategic base for exploring the entire Tuscia Viterbese region: from the thermal baths and the medieval quarter of Viterbo to the evocative “dying city” of Civita di Bagnoregio or the magical Park of the Monsters in Bomarzo. Finally, Rome is easily accessible in about an hour by car.
