Surrounding Areakeyboard_double_arrow_up

The XVII century estate is located at the crossroads of Tuscany, Umbria and Lazio. One of the less inhabited areas of Italy, the unspoilt countryside is a fantastic mix of undulating woodland, lakes, renaissance palaces, medieval castles and etruscan settlements going back 3000 years. The castle is perfectly situated between Rome (135km) and Siena (110km) close to the famous historical towns of Orvieto and Viterbo (35km).The crystal clear waters of the largest volcanic lake in Europe, Lake Bolsena, are only 8 km away and offer plenty of watersport activities in the summer .
