Set up in 1988, the Monterano Nature Reserve protects one of the most representative and unspoilt areas of the "Tuscia Romana" between the Tolfa and Sabatini mountains (covered by another protected area).
Wooded hills, volcanic gorges with typical vegetation and rare ferns, meadows and pastures with their typical plants and animals, crossed by a river, the Mignone, designated as one of the Sites of Community Importance representing the natural heritage of the entire European Union as part of the Nature 2000 Network.
The protected area includes the remains of the fascinating "dead city" of Monterano, abandoned in the early nineteenth century, on a spur of tuff between Tolfa mountains and Lake Bracciano. Is no accident that the area has hosted the set for famous films set in the past, of Ben-Hur (1959) with Charlton Heston in the cricket Marquis (1981) with Alberto Sordi.
The "dead" city of Monterano with its stately mansion, aqueduct soaring on audacious arches, splendid lion fountain by Bernini, San Bonaventura monastery and other more humble dwellings often built on earlier Etruscan remains is not just of great historical and archaeological interest, but also highly evocative. Thanks to the Reserve, this extraordinarily rich cultural heritage is currently undergoing conservative restoration to combat the inexorable degradation of time.

"The house is set at a beautiful location just outside Viterbo. It has everything you need for a great holiday, including a very nice swimming pool! "

"Really enjoyed our stay in Viterbo amd at Paolo's place - a hidden gem."

"Perfect spot away from the hustle and bustle. Easy to get to Rome and Florence. Quiet at night. Beautiful view. Plenty of restaurants near by. Absolutely loved the quiet nights and away from the noise of the city. "

"The property owner does not speak English but was easily able to communicate with WhatsApp. Private. Enclosed parking. I was able to come and go through a private entrance for my vehicle with ease. If you’re looking for an affordable quiet private option to staying near Rome, this is great. A vehicle is a must. The nearby streets of Bracciano near the castle, has cheap and great food. Paulo the owner is a great host."

"Wir haben eine sehr schöne Ferienwohnung vorgefunden mit einem wunderbaren Blick vom Wohnzimmer aus direkt auf das Meer. Die Wohnung ist voll ausgestattet. Hinzu kommt, dass uns Simona mit vielen Leckereien überrascht hat. Die Betreuung durch Simona und Laura bei kleinen Hindernissen war umgehend, super organisiert und immer zuverlässig! Herzlichen Dank hierfür und die wertvollen Tipps! Passoscuro ist für uns optimal gewesen, Ruhe zum Erholen und nahe an Rom für Tagestouren. "

"Loueur accueillant, sympathique,maison et lieu agréable, mais plaque halogène à changer (temps infini pour chauffer), taille des marmites à revoir,vu le nombre de locataires possible, des détails à régler pour un confort optimal. Sinon pour le reste ras séjour optimal, merci pour l'amabilité du loueur."

"Very pleasant stay, everything you need is present. Good beds, good equipment for cooking your italian meals and nice fireplace. Francesco was a really warm host: helped us out when needed, had good ideas for trips in the environment!"

"We were here for an extended stay of 2 months. Found the people of Ladispoli very welcoming and friendly. The property is well located between the beach and railway line, which worked very well for commute to Rome and then relaxing by the beach.

"As soon as I walked up to the gate and looked into the garden, I knew I had someplace special! The owners were able to accommodate me on a last-minute request, and I appreciated this. When you walk up to the first level, there are two sliding glass doors with the most gorgeous view of the sea pulling you in! On this level there are 2 bedrooms, kitchen, living room and a beautiful Murano glass chandelier. Continue to walk up to the next level and there you will find two additional rooms plus a...

"Everything was perfect and the location to the lake and local amenities, ideal for us. Thank you Alessandro we will be back in 2025."

"This host is lazy at best and deceptive at worst. I've never written a negative review before but here we go: - I sent 3 messages in the 3 days leading up to our stay with no response from Maria (no information provided regarding check-in process etc). She only got back to me a few hours before check-in time. - Check-in is advertised as 2pm and is one of the reasons we booked this accommodation as we were arriving from a long flight that morning. A few hours before check-in she advised it...
