Borgo Roccantica

Marzina's well-equipped and well-appointed apartments within this jewel of a place in the Sabina area offer guests an inside view of village life where the concept of slow living originated. Silence reigns in the pedestrian-only village where it is easy to take off from your accommodation on one of many hiking trails. Come back for a prosecco in the rose garden overlooking the valley and dream.

An easy drive from Rome brought us to the secluded wooded hills around Roccantica. Marzina’s Borgo is an elegant and romantic place, full of fascinating art, with sublime views around every corner. The tastefully designed and furnished Torretta was so comfortable and being built right into the city walls, the far reaching views from every window were captivating. Marzina was the perfect host and the pool and gardens were outstanding. Sitting by the pool, eating plums from the trees and soaking in the sublime views is a memory we will cherish . We enjoyed exploring the warren

A magical weekend getaway from Rome! It was a short, pleasant drive. We felt like royalty the moment we stepped into del Conte apartment. Alongside the historic and beautiful things, the apartment has every modern comfort. In unseasonably cold weather, it was soul-warming to step into a warm apartment, with modern bathrooms, wonderfully hot showers, wi-fi, and then to have the fireplace-well, it was difficult to leave! The art in the apartment & views outside are stunning. The food at Le Cucine del Borgo was simply marvelous. Ali made us feel like we had come home to family. We will be back.

2nd review because it's worth saying twice! We came back to the Borgo because we had such a wonderful stay the first time in 2017. The upgrades to the apartment (two brand new bathrooms, TV with Netflix and Amazon etc) have been good improvements on what was already hard to improve. Again, the host and caretakers have taken excellent care of us, and the restaurant below still has delicious food. Quiet, peaceful, charming and beautiful place. We're pleased to call ourselves regulars now, and shall certainly keep returning.

We loved our week staying here. A little quirky, artie and very beautiful. Marzina kept us well informed with details of the place and how to get there, and Ali was on hand when we needed anything, but only when we asked - all beautifully discreet and private. You really need a car to stay here, but once here, it's hard to pull oneself away. Fantastic views from the Torretto, gorgeous walks through the village and forest, and our best chilled out holiday for years. We are already planning our return visit - can't say better than that!

Our stay at the Appartemente del Conte was wonderful from start to finish. Marzina, Tiziana and Ali took excellent care of us, and we appreciated the little extra touches (coffee, eggs and milk all ready and waiting on arrival, along with some excellent local olive oil for us to try). The apartment has lots of old rustic charm and has clearly seen centuries of life but was spotlessly clean and comfy. The pool and garden were fabulous, and we urge every future guest to eat downstairs at the excellent restaurant, Cucine del Borgo. The Borgo, Roccantica and Sabina Hills gave us a magical holiday.
