Vocabolo Chiorano, 40, Magliano Sabina

The cluster lies in the Sabina hills, with cultivated slopes of olive groves and mixed woodland above the Tiber valley. The Tiber runs nearby to the west, and the lower valley is one of the main landscape features within this part of southwestern Rieti province. Monte Soratte stands nearby across the valley and is the most distinct landform in the area. The Riserva Naturale Monte Soratte is within short driving distance. Magliano Sabina itself is a small hill town with a historic centre; for more services the nearest larger towns are Civita Castellana and Orte, and Rome is the main big-city pull farther south. This area is known for Sabina olive country and for hill towns set above the Tiber corridor.
