Just 25 miles north of Rome, the Sabine Hills are the perfect alternative to other well known regions such as Tuscany. Its quintessentially Italian landscape, made out of rolling hills covered with olive groves and dotted with medieval villages and castles, almost looks like a movie set (except it’s real).  

One of the advantages of this region is that it’s still very much unspoilt by mass tourism. You won’t see tour buses nor souvenir shops and if you visit one of the many villages in the area you will find Italian people going about their everyday life, socialising in the piazza, sipping their morning cappuccino or heading off to a nearby field to carry out some farming work.
