Villa Conconi | 4-Bedroom Villa in Magliano Sabina (RI) Perugia

The Province of Rieti rewards travellers willing to venture beyond Rome’s orbit. Magliano Sabina (RI) sits at the heart of Lazio’s most under-discovered landscape—a territory where vineyards slope into pine forests and medieval hilltop towns punctuate horizons still unmarred by development. Villa Conconi, constructed in the 1930s and fully restored to contemporary standards, commands 8 acres of this rolling countryside, 50 kilometres north of Rome yet accessible by train in under an hour.

This is where you rent not a villa, but a private estate. The kind of property where eight guests genuinely spread out instead of stack vertically.

Inside Villa Conconi

Villa Conconi sleeps 8 guests across 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms—each bedroom with its own dedicated bathing facilities. The ground floor contains a twin bedroom with direct shower access, specifically designed and fully equipped for wheelchair users, alongside a spacious bathroom serving the main living quarters. Upstairs, a double bedroom features an ensuite bathroom; two additional twin bedrooms each have private shower-rooms. This arrangement means no morning negotiations over bathroom access.

The ground floor living space unfolds across three distinct zones. The dining area and living room occupy the primary reception space, lined with Tuscan terracotta tiles that cool the floor in summer heat. Original brick and stone fireplaces—still fully functional—define the room’s character. The kitchen is fitted with professional appliances including dishwasher and washing machine, the sort of practical setup that transforms a week-long group rental from logistical burden to manageable rhythm. Hairdryers, sun loungers, parasols and recreational equipment (rackets, balls, table tennis paddles) are provided throughout.

The entire structure meets wheelchair accessibility standards, a rarity in period Italian properties of this vintage. Beyond the ground-floor adapted facilities, ramped access, doorway widths and bathroom configurations reflect genuine accessibility planning, not afterthought retrofitting.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

Beyond the villa’s thick stone walls, the grounds reveal themselves in layers. A pergola-shaded dining terrace seats eight comfortably around a wooden table—this is where breakfasts happen as light filters through grapevines. The adjoining barbecue area opens onto manicured gardens designed for relaxation rather than formal precision.

The swimming pool measures 12 by 5 metres with depths ranging from 1.2 to 1.4 metres, heated seasonally and open typically from June through September. Sun loungers cluster at the shallow end; parasols provide respite from afternoon glare. This pool anchors the outdoor day—morning swims before the heat peaks, afternoon recoveries after exploring nearby towns, evening aperitivos as light softens.

The estate includes a shared tennis court (the sort that converts a casual interest into concentrated afternoon matches), a five-a-side football pitch, and table tennis setup—genuine activity options rather than decorative claims. The grounds feel intentionally designed for guests who want structured recreation alongside unstructured rest.

Location: Magliano Sabina (RI) and the Surrounding Area

Magliano Sabina itself—7 kilometres from Villa Conconi—retains the character of a working agricultural town rather than a tourist destination. The Sabina region occupies a distinctive geographical position: sufficiently distant from Rome (48 kilometres) to escape weekend crowds, yet close enough for same-day cultural excursions. The landscape here emphasizes production over spectacle. Olive groves producing Sabina DOP extra virgin oil blanket the hillsides. The estate’s own vineyards produce notable red wines, creating a direct connection between rental accommodation and regional terroir.

The immediate surroundings offer unexpected recreation. Mount Terminillo, 35 kilometres south, provides skiing in winter months (December-March) and hiking routes throughout warmer seasons. Natural limestone cliffs near Torri in Sabina (12 kilometres away) attract rock climbers. Riding schools operate throughout the region; golf courses exist at Castel di Guido (28 kilometres south towards Rome) and around Viterbo (32 kilometres north).

Historic sites punctuate the landscape with remarkable density. The Abbey of Farfa, 8 kilometres distant, represents one of central Italy’s most significant Benedictine foundations, established in 681 AD. Terni’s ancient Roman bridge crosses the Nera River 22 kilometres south. Orvieto—famous for its cathedral and Etruscan underground passages—lies 45 kilometres east. Perugia’s medieval streets and Renaissance art collections are 50 kilometres northeast. Spoleto (55 kilometres east) hosts the renowned Festival dei Due Mondi each summer.

Viterbo (32 kilometres north) functions as the region’s cultural hub, with its medieval centre, papal palace, and thermal springs at nearby Bagni di Viterbo. The town’s markets and restaurants—particularly around Piazza del Gesù—source ingredients from surrounding farms. Arezzo (68 kilometres northeast) contains Piero della Francesca’s frescoes. Florence lies 130 kilometres north, reachable by car in approximately two hours.

Food culture here remains tied to agricultural reality. Local specialities include handmade pasta (particularly pappardelle), white truffles from the Sibillini Mountains (October-December), wild boar ragù, and pecorino romano cheese produced in nearby Amatrice (24 kilometres northeast). Weekly markets in Magliano Sabina operate on Wednesday mornings, selling produce from surrounding farms. Supermarkets in Magliano town centre provide familiar international provisions alongside local products.

Rome’s attractions—the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Vatican Museums—remain accessible by train from Poggio Mirteto station (12 kilometres south) in approximately 50 minutes, or by car via the A1 motorway in under an hour. This proximity transforms Villa Conconi into a practical base for multi-site holidays rather than exclusively rural retreat.

Seasonal considerations matter. May through June offer mild temperatures (18-26°C), spring wildflowers, and manageable crowds. July-August bring peak heat (28-32°C) and international tourism surges; however, swimming becomes genuinely refreshing and evening temperatures cool dramatically. September maintains warmth (22-28°C) with departing crowds. October-November showcase autumn colours and truffle hunting season. December-March bring occasional snow at higher elevations and ski access via Mount Terminillo, though winter rainfall increases significantly.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Extended families benefit substantially from Villa Conconi’s configuration. Eight guests spread across four separate bedrooms means teenagers and younger children achieve genuine privacy while parents maintain supervisory oversight. The ground-floor twin bedroom serves grandparents or guests requiring accessibility; the pool provides afternoon entertainment for younger children while the nearby tennis court engages adolescents.

Professional groups—creative teams, corporate retreats, consulting partnerships—utilise the villa as working base and residential meeting space. The reliable Wi-Fi connectivity and separate bedroom zones enable flexible work schedules alongside group activities.

Multi-generational trips function particularly smoothly here. The accessible ground-floor facilities accommodate aging guests without requiring specialized equipment rental. The modest distance to cultural attractions suits grandparents interested in art and history. Younger family members engage with outdoor recreation (tennis, football, swimming) while mixed-age group dinners happen on the pergola terrace.

Couples seeking private luxury space will find the villa oversized; the property’s true efficiency emerges at six-to-eight guest capacity. Groups of close friends with established comfort around shared bathrooms (despite private facilities in most bedrooms) achieve particular harmony here.
