The middle age archaeological town Roccantica is situated on the top of the hills in the region of Sabina on the foot of the mountain chain Apennine. Here in the country sides full of olive plantations and vineyards on a land of 25 hectares was created the Holiday Farm.
Elsebeth Faerch - Montanarella born in Copenhagen (DK), widow of Adm. Marco Montanarella. I feel European, studied business and economics and English and French respectively in London and Paris. My fortune was to meet Marco in France. We have both worked for NATO for 25 years posted in several NATO countries. An enchanting experience to work in an international atmosphere, which has given me the opportunity to know and understand the different mentalities and cultures.
After retirement we decided to live in the nature with the animals as a consequence was created the “Agriturismo – Centro Ippico San Lorenzo”
It is my pleasure to receive the holiday guests and make them acquainted with the fascinating Sabina, the habits the history and the local cooking.
