Roman Castle Getaway: Romantic Home that Sleeps 4+ | House in San Gregorio da Sassola
4 Bedroom House in San Gregorio da Sassola
Welcome to one of my favorite places in the world — a sanctuary tucked within the ancient walls of Castello Brancaccio. This 500-year-old home blends medieval soul with modern comfort. Mornings begin with the sound of church bells and cappuccinos overlooking the hills of Lazio, while afternoons invite slow strolls through cobblestone lanes lined with olive groves and Roman ruins. Inside, arched windows and linen drapes frame the sunlight, and terracotta floors hold centuries of warmth. The layout includes two restful suites — one king and one queen — a library lounge with Smart TV and sofa bed, and a fireplace kitchen with a long dining table and artisanal details. For families or larger groups, there’s an optional loft for children ages 8-12 or additional guests.
A romantic home for dreamers, families, and remote workers seeking tranquility and authentic Italian charm, this timeless retreat lies just 42 minutes from central Rome. With Starlink Wi-Fi offering lightning-fast speeds for remote work, the home comfortably sleeps four or more guests across a king suite, queen suite, sofa bed, and optional loft. Adorned with antiques — including pieces from the castle itself — and layered with quiet luxury, it features thoughtful comforts like Nespresso, Smart TVs, a cozy fireplace kitchen, and free village parking. Guests can also enjoy optional experiences such as pasta-making classes, winery tours, and private driver services, ensuring every stay is tailored and unforgettable.
FOR EVEN BIGGER PARTIES: A SECOND HOME IN THE ADJACENT BUILDING IS ALSO AVAILABLE, OFFERING TWO ADDITIONAL BEDROOM SUITES, A BATHROOM, AN OFFICE AREA, A KITCHEN, AND A SEPARATE ENTRANCE. ASK ME ABOUT AVAILABILITY IF YOU HAVE A LARGER GROUP THAT COULD BENEFIT FROM HAVING TWO RENTALS CLOSE TOGTHER FOR YOUR VISIT.
Life in the village moves at a gentler rhythm, where time softens and beauty unfolds in small, unhurried moments. Guests can walk to the local café for cappuccino, watch sunsets over the valley, or linger over long dinners at the trattoria, where each meal feels like a story. For those craving a deeper connection to place, I can help arrange private cooking classes with Chef Rosetta in nearby Tivoli, winery tours, romantic dinners, or floral celebrations. If you prefer to settle in, grocery and charcuterie deliveries can be arranged so the house is perfectly stocked upon arrival. And when you’re ready for the pulse of the city, Rome is just a short drive away — though many guests find they never want to leave.
Our little village will soon appear in an upcoming TV series about life in Italy. You can follow along @ashleymlands for glimpses of filming, antique hunts, and behind-the-scenes stories of San Gregorio da Sassola.
From November through January, the home transforms into a holiday wonderland — twinkling lights, garlands, and a festive table set for joy, offering guests a uniquely magical winter experience.
The home is entirely yours — a private residence tucked behind the ancient ramparts. Step through the gates into cinematic quiet: firelit evenings, music echoing through stone walls, and windows that frame endless sky. If you need more than four beds, please mention this when booking; we’re happy to prepare additional accommodations, including a toddler mattress at no extra charge.
Before you arrive, I’ll help you tailor your stay with restaurant and tour recommendations in both Rome and the surrounding area, trusted taxi and driver contacts, and optional welcome baskets filled with wine, snacks, and flowers. My goal is to handle every detail so you can arrive, exhale, and immediately feel at home.
I can’t wait to share this special corner of Italy with you. Whether you come to write, rest, or roam, this castle home will hold you gently — a sanctuary for your story.
