A typical handsome XVIII Century farmhouse has just been restored to offer a comfortable and warm hospitality in its picturesque apartments just below the S. Cristina's XVII Century Castle which lies in a strategic position at the crossroad with Lazio, Umbria and Tuscany, ten minutes drive north of Lake Bolsena, only 3 km away from Grotte di Castro, a fascinating ancient village of Etruscan origin which is suspended on top of a rock.
The farmhouse has been skillfully converted with careful attention to conserving authenticity together with comfort, and privacy in a pleasant combination with communal living, if wanted.
The very large farm now contains eight charming apartments (Firenze - sleeps 6, Siena - sleeps 4/5, Civita - sleeps 4, Orvieto - sleeps 4/5, Granaio 1 - sleeps 6/8, Granaio 2 - sleeps 6/8, MARTA - sleeps 4, Capodimonte - sleeps 4) mostly furnished with original pieces.
On the ground floor, opening onto the main terrace overlooking the swimming pool there is a large "taverna" with brick vaulted ceilings. The space is divided into three main areas: meeting room - dining room, billiard room, ping-pong room, plus a large kitchen available for all the guests and equipped for cooking courses as well.
