Photos and Description of this Viterbo Province holiday villa 5 bedrooms, sleeps 10/11

The house is situated on the slopes of the Cimini mountains, with truly breathtaking views in all directions of rolling countryside and then mountains, 5 minutes from the beautiful medieval town of Soriano. It sits surrounded by it's own vineyard, olive groves, and nut orchard in a quiet rural location, with masses of space for kids to roam safely to their hearts content. It is 20 mins from the papal city of Viterbo, 30 mins from scenic Orvieto, 1 hour from the Tuscan seaside and an hour north of Rome. It is situated in beautiful countryside, very similar to neighbouring Umbria and Tuscany but far less touristy. Soriano itself is a very friendly local market town with all the necessary amenities and some excellent and reasonably priced restaurants. Lots of good eating in surrounding towns. Rome is easily accessible by car or train. The area is known for its many thermal springs. Nearby are the lago di Vico and Bolsena, and chestnut forests on the Monte Cimini.

Car: necessary
We are situated on the border between Lazio and Umbria near the historic papal city of Viterbo and within easy reach of Rome (one hour's drive away). Orvieto, Todi and the Tuscany coast beaches are all short drives away. Soriano is the nearest town. It is an extremely pretty medieval walled town, with castle and amazing panoramic views of the Tiber valley and Appenine mountains beyond. Viterbo has great shopping as of course does Rome. It is also a wonderful walled Medieval (and rather undiscovered) city, with papal palace and many places of historic interest. It also sports famous volcanic springs and spas. The Cimini mountains and beautiful Lago di Vico are close by as are Monefiascone and the Lago di Bolsena. Golf at the world renowned course of Le Querce at Sutri is a 20 minute drive away.

You can see much more and contact us via our website. Proprietor speaks French, Italian,and some German.

Soriano-Chestnut Festival(Sagra di Castagne): This takes place in the first two weeks of October, which often sport excellent weather. There are medieval pageants and contests between the quartiere/rione of the town most nights in the main square in Soriano (See photo). The whole community get together to perform, provide typical local food (eaten together in great cellars and halls), joust, and run Soriano's own palio (horse race). This is the best time to get a real feel for the local life and community - a really heartwarming experience - and free chestnuts! This period tends to get booked early.

Other Activities: thermal baths

Excellent Family Villa

Tel40 Essex
Review Submitted: August 11, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
A fantastic villa that exceeded our expectations, the pictures do not do it justice. There is plently of room in the Villa (there was 9 of us) and the swimming pool is a real bonus. It is easy to get to Rome from here. The station is only 15 minutes away by car, which you do need. The local town of Soriano is exactly how you imagine rural Italy is. The owners are very helpful and always replied to our emails. The lady who maintains the property, speaks perfect English and is extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend this villa.

Peaceful Villa

Bev & Adrian Nottingham, UK
Review Submitted: January 26, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2008
Me, my husband, two children (13,15) and my mum spent ten days at the villa in May 2007 and also May 2008. The property description is accurate and the owners seam very friendly and accommodating.

The property is large with everything you would need. The pool is fantastic (we spent a lot of time by the pool) and the setting is wonderful. The local village is very close with shops (highly recommend the cake shop in the village square) and a few restaurants, plus there is a supermarket down the road. Floriana the local tour guide is very friendly and helpful. She has a wealth of knowledge about the area.

The downsides are that the bathrooms could do with being updated, the furniture is a little basic and the three cats can be a problem if you are not used to cats. However the villa was very clean and tidy.

A car is essential as the local village would be a long walk with no pavements.

We drove to the local train station for a trip into Rome which we all enjoyed. We also saw a local festival in Soriano which was great and we drove to Viterbo which was worth the drive.

Overall I would highly recommend the villa and Soriano.

Great holiday

Italia2008 Birmingham
Review Submitted: January 26, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2008
We had a wonderful family holiday in this comfortable, clean and well equipped house. The house was private and had lots of space for the family to spread out and relax. The local keyholder could not have been more helpful without being intrusive. The house gave us a great base in the 'real Italy' amongst the hazelnut farms with lots of local history, interest and festivals. Good range of shops and restaurants in nearby towns and villages and also Rome was a comfortable day out by train.
