La Palombara
Plunged in the beautiful Sabina area, Northern Lazio, La Palombara is a stone exposed house with garden that forms a self-contained whimsical world. It is the definitive statement of the past years in design: eclecticism and sustainability are the key to interpreting the restoration
Rather than recreating a single historical and rustic style, today’s best interiors embrace the value of mixing antique and contemporary—blending not just materials, but also moods, geographical inspirations, and ways of using space.
La Palombara fits squarely into this approach, telling a layered story that adds depth where a modern look of restoration might have been dominating. Spread over two floors, the home’s internal flow—and its easy dialogue between indoors and out—underscores the simple truth: La Palombara is a lovely house, perfect for both summer and winter. Cozy interiors, warm natural materials, and an emphasis on proportions define the aesthetic; vintage pieces are integrated seamlessly into the overall design, as well as old original materials, carefully selected and wisely used.
Fully renovated in 2013, the property’s exact origins are uncertain, however the vaulted cellar, the cave and the decoration around the entrance arch to the house could date back to the 18th or early 19th centuries.
There is the possibility of further enlarging the residential spaces by restoring the annexes, which, in their current state are already very rich in charm with nude colour palette stone walls.
La Palombara is between two realities: on one side there is Rome, just a 40 minute drive, allowing easy access to the enjoyments of this majestic capital city with its hussle and bussle and on the other, immersed in the green rolling hills of the little known Sabina area, which boarders Umbria and was, in ancient times, the summer retreat of rich Roman families.
