Agriturismo near a small lake and one hour from Rome

This beautiful agriturismo is located in a relatively unknown area, not only for My Italy, but also in terms of tourism. It is located in an undiscovered part of Italy and is therefore still authentic. I visited the agriturismo on a beautiful sunny autumn day and I was warmly welcomed by the owner and her mother. After a delicious espresso they showed me their agriturismo. It is strategically located: just an hour's drive from Rome (accessible by car to the edge of the city and from there by metro) and 25 kilometres from the beautiful city of Viterbo, known for its thermal baths. But there is also plenty to see in the vicinity, such as the castle of Orsini, the nature park "parco dei mostri" Bomarzo and Civita di Bagnoregio, a medieval castle located on a hilltop and only accessible by a long bridge on very high poles.

Lake with a beach

The agriturismo is close to a nice lake (part of it is also accessible on foot from the agriturismo) with (pebble and grass) beaches and bars. The owner of the agriturismo will be pleased to give you suggestions where the best beaches can be found and where you can swim. If you do not feel like swimming in the lake, the agriturismo has a nice swimming pool for its guests. There is also a large playground with playing field and football field for the little ones.

Apartments

The agriturismo has 9 apartments, not so big but well maintained and comfortable. Most apartments are so-called bilocale apartments, suitable for 2 to 4 people ( two sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room) and there is one apartment with two bedrooms, suitable for 4 to 6 people (again with two sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room). Each apartment has its own outside space with table and chairs and the apartments are equipped with satellite TV, Wi-Fi, heating and a kitchen with four-burner stove and refrigerator.

Breakfast

In low season the apartments are rented as B & B rooms (without use of the kitchen, but including breakfast). In mid and high season the apartments are rented with use of the kitchen but no breakfast is served.

Swimming pool and tasting

In the large garden of the agriturismo there is a beautiful swimming pool, where each apartment has its own parasol and two sunbeds. Next to the swimming pool there is a covered terrace where the owner organizes once a week in high season a free tasting of local products for her guests. You can also taste the products of the agriturismo (hazelnuts, chestnuts and olive oil).

In short

Friendly agriturismo with warm and hospitable owner, located near a lake and in a beautiful area of Italy that has not yet been discovered by mass tourism. Also a good base from which to visit Rome!
