 Canto degli Alberti is an old stone built farmhouse, which in the past included the stables, and is part of a small complex comprising a sixteenth century house and a group of buildings which collectively were a granary, a forge and a mill, all involved in farming in the Tiber Valley in the past. Spending a holiday in Canto degli Alberti opens up cultural and relaxing possibilities and sightseeing in fascinating places which so far you have only read about. |
 Visitors enjoy a magnificent tumbling panorama of the foothills of “Alpi della Luna” (the mountains of the moon), meadows, hills and woodernels where they can enjoy tranquil walks and, in the appropriate times of the year, may find mushrooms and truffles. Canto degli Alberti is set in an Italian garden, partly terraced and here guest can relax in absolute peace and enjoy the pineclad setting in the nut trees, limes plane trees and ancient oaks. |
