Want to Buy a Small Property South of Rome?

Friends of ours want to sell a small property in a beautiful town called Fondi. Fondi is 130km south of Rome and just an hour and ten minutes by train. It is just 15km from the lovely seaside town of Sperlonga, and 145km to Naples. The price is €85,000. Contact us for more information.

Palazzola

Palazzola is the most beautiful place in the whole Roman countryside – it comprises an old Cistercian Monastery overlooking Lake Albano and boasts a spectacular view towards Rome. It is owned by the English College (a training College for Roman Catholic priests) and was used as their summer residence. Its use by the students has diminished over the years, and so it is now available as a holiday venue. It is idyllic for a quiet time and makes for a great retreat from the busy streets of Rome. Palazzola has extensive grounds and its own swimming pool. It is just 18 miles from Rome and only 15 minutes (by taxi) from Ciampino Airport.

Tuscany

Great friends of ours, Jonny & Gerry, live and work in Rome and have purchased an amazing holiday home in the village of Petroio in the heart of Tuscany, not far from the beautiful city of Pienza.  We've enjoyed a fabulous week's holiday there and can't wait to go back!  Besides the beauty of the immediate surrounding area, the village is in easy reach of such places as Siena, Montalcino, Cortona and Montepulciano.

Paulo Baigent is a good friend of ours. He designed our logo. It’s amazing how long it takes to design something so simple! We spent many hours considering various options, going through countless pictures and images of Rome. Paulo worked with us patiently as we slowly but surely arrived at the final design.
