ABOUT
We are Mirjam and Carlos and are pleased to welcome you. When we came across this place, we immediately fell in love with the view and decided to stay. The casale had been empty for 40 years and the vineyard was neglected. The house has been restored and the vineyard is recovering. Every day we enjoy the lovely view, the color and fragance, and want to share this with others.
ROOMS
We built a 30 m2 independent guesthouse provided with kitchenette and bathroom. On the floor lays handmade cotto (clay tiles baked in a wooden oven, typical of the region) and the wooden beams are visible . There is a large tuftstone terrace (=tuftstone, the volcanic stone on which the city of Orvieto is built on ).
There is a second 35m2 accommodation with its own bathroom available as well.
Be spoiled by the view, wake up and see the sun rising behind Orvieto
