Country Home in Italy Viterbo, Lazio |
Less than an hour from Rome Viterbo it is the center of Etruscan history, with lakes, nearby seaside, thermal baths, and lovely gardens. One of the best preserved are the delightful Renaissance gardens of Villa Lante in Bagnaia. Just down the street is the gracious Villa Farinella, a very pleasant bed and breakfast within the 18th-century home of Maurizio and his family. Rita, his mother, lives in a restored farmhouse on the property and has passed her grandfather’s ancient home down to her son. In order to revive the home to its original splendor, the bed and breakfast solution was a perfect one. The first floor is entirely dedicated to guests, with four cozy bedrooms entering into one of two spacious living/dining rooms appointed with original antiques and elegant chandeliers. Each quaint bedroom with new bathroom has its own floral theme (wisteria, rose), which is followed through in color scheme, wallpaper, bedspreads, and curtains. One particularly large room has frescoed vaulted ceilings. You will be delighted with the warm hospitality, authentically historic surroundings, and very reasonable rate. Directions: From Viterbo drive towards Bagnaia (directly east) on Viale Trieste to the suburb of La Quercia. Just after the Agip station turn left on Via Capodistria past houses to the end of the lane Rates: Price for two persons: 70-80 EURO
