- the spectacular Marmore Falls (the highest in Europe)
- in summer, a swim among the water lilies of the small and precious Lake Ventina or in the beautiful Quinto Assio swimming pool
- Lake Piediluco, to be explored by pedal boat or canoe
- the historic centers of Rieti, Labro and Contigliano
-the first Franciscan sanctuaries, such as Greccio and Poggio Bustone and the paths of the medieval Cammino di Francesco
- the Conca Reatina cycle path between sunflower fields and mountain views (21 km, entirely flat, suitable for children)
- rafting on the Nera and Velino rivers (also soft routes for children) and the Avventuristicando adventure park with treetop routes (discount for our guests)

If you want to get away a little you can explore the heart of the Apennines, Leonessa, Laga, Terminillo (walking and woods, skiing in winter) or, on the Umbrian side, visit Spoleto and the Valnerina, Assisi, Spello, or again, in Lazio the Abbey of Farfa and the Sabina. Rome is about 1.15 hours away.

===== ACCOMMODATION DESCRIPTION =====
Casale Madreterra is a typical rustic stone farmhouse from the 18th century, spread over two floors and covering approximately 200 square meters, with bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Nestled in the tranquility of the hills between Umbria and Lazio, it’s only 15 km from the city of Rieti. From the moment you pass through the gate until you (alas) leave it behind, the backdrop to your vacation is filled with only birdsong and the rustling of leaves.

The villa is also surrounded by a garden filled with trees, flowers, and aromatic plants, filling the air with Mediterranean scents. From here, you have an incomparable view of the surrounding valley. Admit it, don’t you already feel more relaxed?

On summer evenings, you can enjoy dinner on the veranda or, if you’re with friends, use the large table on the side patio, spacious yet private thanks to the numerous shrubs that surround it. And to end the day, what could be better than a good glass of local wine in complete tranquility, surrounded by pristine nature?
