Situated in the magnificent countryside of Rieti, overlooking the spellbinding panorama offered by the valley of the Velino river, with a backdrop of rugged mountains, the Relais Villa D'Assio is set on a recently renovated,  ancient 19th century village. Not far away from Rome, and nearby a number of charming towns and villages, the hotel is surrounded by  parks and located  in an enviable elevated position, with magnificent extensive views of the grounds an the Piediluco Lake. Soft grey stone walls were rediscovered from the original buildings, to maintain a perfect harmony with the surroundings, and to enhance the romantic and relaxing atmosphere felt throughout. Traditional yet modern, bright guestrooms, equipped with a handful of modern facilities, and elegantly  decorated with handmade tiles, dark wood  floors and whitewashed walls, ensure guests a comfortable and unforgettable  stay. In the evenings, dream the night away in the  comfortable lounges or enjoy a mouth watering meal in the Tempe restaurant, based on local specialities made of genuine local ingredients, prepared in a  inventive, imaginative way.
