For sale cottage in countryside Soriano nel Cimino Lazio

2050, a farmhouse in the hinterland of Latium in Soriano nel Cimino, in the air the scent of grills, children´s laughter, dogs running.
From our rocking chairs we admire the sunset that fires the horizon among the olive and hazelnut trees.
Another summer is ending, it seems unbelievable, it has already been 25 years since we scheduled a visit to this property that completely changed our lives.
We had decided that as soon as the last of our children started his college career, we would change our lives.
The bank job, which had allowed us not only to get to know each other, but to start a family and live well, had been squeezing us for years now. We needed us, to discover each other, to find ourselves.
One rainy Sunday we read the ad for a property in Soriano nel Cimino a few kilometers from Viterbo. The ad says “Farmhouse surrounded by nature and with almost 6 hectares of land. The farmhouse consists of a main structure in which there are, in addition to the apartment with two bedrooms, the 3 rooms on the ground floor used as a restaurant, the kitchen and 2 large rooms with bathrooms for guests. A short distance away is a small building with two more rooms with bathrooms. All in very good condition and ready to be yours.“
We decide to schedule a visit for the following week and before Christmas the property is ours.
I have always wanted to cook, I have taken several courses over the years, but until that day mine was a hobby with which to cheer evenings with friends and family.
My wife? Well she dreamed of a dog breeding farm and moving around on horseback.
And here we are, we spent another fantastic summer with our guests, we were joined by our children and grandchildren who these days occupy all the rooms on the farm
I look at Marta, I move a white lock from her face, I am not surprised that her hair is damp, my first gift to her as soon as we arrived here was to build a swimming pool, one of her greatest wishes.
Sometimes I find myself watching her from our bedroom window as she starts her day by swimming.
I always thought that in her previous life she must have been a mermaid or a woodland fairy.
Since she has been here you can see that she is finally herself, in harmony with the nature she loves.
Every corner of the estate she has enriched with plants, created themed areas, the garden of small fruits, the aromatic garden the butterfly meadows, the grandmothers´ medical herbs, the forest of hugs...a world that is a mixture of magic and alchemy.
As soon as she sat down here next to me, as if attracted by the Pied Piper the children arrived, they sat in a circle, while the kids prepare dinner, grandma will tell one of her fantastic stories to the little ones.
Not even saying that on either side she has Zeus and Bulck the two Labradors who are her shadow.
What do you say, would you like to be here now too, with the view sweeping over the valley and the rolling hills. Don´t wait, this incredible tufa and peperino farmhouse could be the dream that finally comes true.
