This elegant cottage and its adjacent Villa are located just 1 KM from the medieval town of Bracciano with its majestic Orsini-Odescalchi castle, and its beautiful volcanic lake, major reservoir of Rome's fountains. Three villages have been built on the lake's shores: Bracciano, Trevignano Romano and Anguillara Sabazia. The territories of Manziana and Canale Monterano, surrounded by extensive woods, connect this area of northwestern Rome to the Mediterranean sea, just several kilometers away. Thanks to the geomorphologic volcanic nature of this area, it is possible to enjoy the benefits of the well known health spas found in Viterbo, in Stigliano and in Civitavecchia.

The Regional Park of the Lakes Bracciano and Martignano is a singular example of intact natural landscapes despite its proximity to the crowdy tourism of the nearby Rome centre. The area also hosts a distinct historical and cultural heritage ranging as far back to the Etruscan civilization, the Romans, the Medieval ages and the Renaissance.

Cottage Cascina and Villa Rosina are built in quaint Lazium-Tuscan style. The villa is divided into two mirror houses, one of which is available for rent. Both cottage and villa surround an interior courtyard with a wading pool (5mt x 1,5 mt x 95 cm deep), a herb garden, and a private garden. The property lies in a large residential area and a car is recommended. The Owners are English-speaking and will be happy to show you around and help you with any direction or advice needed.

Each independent and self catering house has elegant furniture and is fully equipped with: linens and towels (weekly change), washing machine, satellite TV and Radio, DVD and microwave.
