If you have a special occasion to celebrate and would like a party at the house Kalle can organise this for you. Kalle provides local food and wine, the meat is usually cooked on an open fire in the garden and for large parties it is possible to order a spit roast of pork or lamb which is cooked on site and is also accompanied by local dishes and wines. If you are interested do contact Kalle in plenty of time and he will be happy to discuss your likes and dislikes to ensure your party is a success. |
Surrounding landscape
The large private swimming pool (5m x 15m) is situated on the side of a hill, above is an olive grove and below the winding valley. The pool is secluded and peaceful. Around the perimeter of the pool is a mature rosemary bush providing a beautiful perfume in the evenings and fresh herbs for cooking. The marble patio is spacious with plenty of room for the 8 sunloungers. In the garden there are 3 large garden tables and outside seating for 20 people. There is a lantern in the oak tree which provides the perfect light for intimate suppers or large parties in the evening. There is a large pizza oven which is great fun to use for cooking pizzas, joints of meat etc. The garden is informal. and the area around the house has space to park several cars. There are plenty of places to explore on the land including 3 small caves and a stream at the end of the bottom field from where it is possible to fish for trout. We have one neighbour but neither of the houses are overlooked.

Featured Review
It's our 5th visit next year
Tim S, London
Review Submitted: October 12, 2008, Date of stay: May, 2008
When we go to the Yellow House - and we go as often as we can - our favourite thing to do is to sit and read under the spreading oak tree by the back door while sipping a glass of the excellent Sergio Mottura's wine. Our boys would argue that the gelateria in Bagnoreggio has it over the oak tree, others might propose the mediaval attractions of Bolsena, Orvietto or Civeta. And there is, of course, the luxuriously huge pool. But I think they're missing the point. Tranquility is hard to come by. But it can be found under the oak tree at the Yellow House.
Owner's response:
Thank you Tim S. So, you've tasted the Mottura wine too........... I hope you enjoy some more peace, tranquility and wine under the oak tree in 2009.
