Vacation Rental Description
The house is built in stone with hand-made terracotta tiling throughout. The ceilings are also made of terracotta with large chestnut beams. All the rooms have separate exits onto the terraces and the garden surrounding the house and the use of glass is maximised to take full advantage of the truly superb views.
The property is on a 1.5 hectare plot, planted with vines, olives and fruit trees. The lawn area in front of the house is fully fenced in, making it ideal for children and is built on a single story so there are no stairs to worry about.
The house is also perfect for the winter months as we have installed under-floor heating and thermostats throughout (an extra cost for heating is levied when the system is in operation) and the lake views can be even more impressive in winter.
Lake Bolsena is surrounded by good swimming beaches. The closest of these are 5 mins by car. There are both wild areas and swimming beaches equipped with deckchairs, restaurants, bars, etc. Should you prefer the sea-side, you are only an hour from the Tuscan coast, close to such places as Porto Santo Stefano, Orbetello and Capalbio.
There are countless site of cultural interest from Etruscan to Roman to medieval periods. Some of the most beautiful hilltop towns in Italy are to be found around the area.
One hour drive takes you to The Golf Club Le Querce, one of the top Italian golf courses, a few miles from Sutri, a fascinating and ancient country town.
