An enchanted village, with its white stones that “detach” on the woods that crown it, in the heart of Sabina, on the slopes of Mount Pizzuto. A village full of stairs and rich in a long history testified already by its name, Roccantica.

An oratory with 15th-century paintings built and frescoed for the wedding of the lord’s daughter, a tower that dominates the landscape from the highest point of the village from which you can enjoy a landscape as far as the eye can see, a small church just below the tower, in its own unique way. The large square with the bell tower that welcomes you on arrival, and then the Borgo nobiliare, the old convent, the archives with papal bulls from centuries and centuries ago. And the costume parades,the flag-wavers.

In Roccantica, time seems to stand still.
