Rocciavva is the result of restoration efforts by an architect who took an old farmhouse and divided it into two apartments. The architect and his wife, an American born choreographer and artist, live in the apartment above Rocciaviva. The restored farmhouse is sited between expansive olive groves and a forest at an elevation of 1900 feet. It has a spectacular view across the Umbrian Valley, and it overlooks the thousand-year-old castle of Campello Alto.
