Description
We are in the Roman countryside of Genzano di Roma with approximately 7000 sq m of land which is cultivated with an olive orchard, vegetable garden, and farm animals (chickens and rabbits). We are a retired couple requiring help with maintaining the property and farm duties. The house is a comfortable bungalow where our guests have their own private bedroom and ensuite bathroom. We offer breakfast and lunch together in our country kitchen while dinner is optional as the evenings would be considered as your free time to spend as you wish. Located about 27 km from Rome and 6 km from Genzano town centre. We are also close to Lanuvio, Nemi and Velletri to mention just a few. We are conveniently located 3 km from the local train station San Gennaro that connects to Roma Termini station on Velletri line for further exploration of the country by train.
