Villa Laurentia is a huge secret! An hour from Rome, but so secluded you feel as if you're in the middle of Umbria. Set in Umbrian-style countryside (rather than Lazio flatlands) the villa overlooks the most picturesque vineyards and olive groves with amazing sunsets.
The best thing about Villa Laurentia is the fact it's only a 5 minute drive from a very un-touristy and secluded small village with a buzzing and friendly local community.
If you're looking for a true Italian experience without all the plastic tat, tourist-trap restaurants etc, then Magliano Sabina and Villa Laurentia are ideal. Some amazing restaurants within 5 minutes, lovely local food and unhurried, friendly people.
In terms of accessibility it's flat throughout. Loads of space to turn around in and easy access to the pool (but if you need a rail then beware there isn't one). The staff and owner were always extremely helpful with any problems we had or adjustments that were needed.
