This property is located in the heart of the Calanchi Valley, on the border between Lazio, Umbria and Tuscany. The valley is famous for it unique landscape created by water erosion of the clay, and its woods of ancient oaks and olive groves. It is a truely unique property, located in a peaceful, open position, with a stone and tuff cladding, surrounded by 6,000 sq. m. of land containing an elegant Italian garden.
The villa, an historic sixteenth century building, renovated using bio-architectural principals, has not lost any of its magical atmosphere, retaining the echoes of the previous generations.
During the renovation many of the original features were kept and carefully sourced materials from local artisans, such as terracotta tiles, mosaics, and specially chosen wood for beams were used when necessary.
The 2-storey villa of about 210 sq. m. also has a 2-roomed apartment which is presently being used as a study and library but could also be used as separate living accommodation. The property is composed of:
Ground floor: a reception room, a large kitchen in typical rustic style with fireplace, a cosy living room with fireplace
First floor: 2 bedrooms, one walk through room that could be used either as a study or a bedroom, 1 bathroom
Apartment: 2 rooms, a bathroom
Basement: marvellous cellar, carved into the rock, including the villa's private wine cellar.

Latium: Castiglione in Teverina
Driving along the road between Orte and Orvieto, Castiglione in Teverina appears in front of you, dominating the Tiber valley perched atop a rocky spur. As you get closer the historic centre comes into view revealing all its charm.
The view from Castiglione is unique, the belvedere in fact overlooks the hills on the edge of the Calanchi park, created by water erosion of the clays, and to the right you can see a body of water dotted with green islands, this is the lake of Alviano, of such beauty that it has become one of the most famous WWF oases.
