Civita di Bagnoregio, 'The Dying City':
Civita di Bagnoregio, 'the Dying City' our property overlooks, is almost unreal, being perched on a rock rising above the surrounding valley wrinkled by 'calanchi', furrows ploughed by the rain on the friable slopes over many centuries. The valley is reminiscent of a moonscape both in colour and texture. Over many centuries, weathering and the effects of earthquakes have gradually eroded the sides of the rock and houses collapse every few years. Everything here has a quaint and antique flavour: small streets, arches and squares decorated with flowers by the few remaining inhabitants. Access from the road to the hamlet is gained by a concrete walkway that provides a splendid view of the city. Right in the main square we do own a beautiful palace with 4 ensuite rooms that are available for rental on their own. The accommodation is highly prestigious and totally unique.
