The Detail...
To arrive at the foot of Civita di Bagnoregio is to discover a place that until then only existed in dreams: the ultimate Italian hill town preserved by a rich and splendid history.
Entering the old town by walking over its footbridge and going through its Etruscan gateway is like stepping back in time 600 years to rediscover the beauty and peace of a different way of life.
The home current structure is from the 14th century and it has been recently restored by the architect and interior designer owner to become a unique home. The 14th century core has a living room, dining room, a study and three bedroom suites each with a private bath: it sleeps six people in queen and king size beds and has room for two extra people in twin beds.
An older part of the house is composed of caves and grottos dating back to Etruscan and Roman times that have been fully incorporated into the home's liveable spaces. It boasts a unique wine cellar inside a Roman water cistern, a garden kitchen and a spectacular pool with Jacuzzi inside beautiful caves opening onto the garden, a meditation room, an art gallery and more.
The garden is a masterpiece of formal Italian design hanging on the edge of a tufa stone cliff, with a gazebo for al fresco dining and a BBQ, outdoor living space, amazing vistas all around.
Nearby you’ll find Orvieto, just 20 minutes away, where there are Etruscan and Roman archaeological sites, a 12th century gothic cathedral, a medieval quarter plus plenty of shopping opportunities and many great restaurants.
The historic town of Bolsena is also close by with the fishing village of Marta, Montefiascone as well as lake activities and boat tours.
Todi and Spoleto have beautiful medieval and renaissance churches, unique natural settings, charming streets and excellent museums.
Historic Gardens are also within easy reach with Villa Lante, Bomarzo, Caprarola and Vignanello all offering unique historic gardens and villas of unique beauty.
