Casale Hortensiae is a countryside farmhouse nestled in the greenery of the Tiber Valley, surrounded by olive groves, vineyards, and hills, in a peaceful setting where one can rediscover slower and more authentic rhythms of life. Its location, just a few minutes from Orte and well-connected to the A1 and E45 highways as well as the train station, makes it ideal for both a rejuvenating getaway and a starting point for exploring Rome, Viterbo, Orvieto, Umbria, and Tuscany. The interiors, tastefully furnished with natural materials, offer cozy rooms and communal spaces designed for relaxation, including a large shared kitchen, a fireplace, a panoramic porch, and a saltwater pool overlooking the valley.

Elisabeth warmly welcomes guests with spontaneity, care, and a hospitality style inspired by natural wellness. With a background in medicine, she has chosen to embrace a more sustainable and mindful lifestyle, transforming the farmhouse into a place where guests feel welcomed with simplicity, respect, and warmth. Her discreet and thoughtful presence helps create a serene and familial atmosphere.

Mornings begin with a wholesome and carefully prepared breakfast featuring organic and seasonal ingredients. Homemade bread made with sourdough and ancient grains, artisanal jams, dried fruits, herbal teas from locally grown plants, and plant-based drinks create a flavorful and natural offering. This selection is particularly appreciated by those following a plant-based diet, with options for gluten-free and raw diets available.

The farmhouse's kitchen adheres to a vegan and organic philosophy, emphasizing local products and fresh harvests from the garden. Simple, colorful, and seasonal dishes are served in a convivial atmosphere, either by the fireplace in cooler months or outdoors during the warmer season, providing an authentic experience connected to the land and its seasons.

The surrounding area combines rural tranquility with great convenience for travel. In just a few minutes, you can reach the Terme di Orte, historic villages, archaeological sites, volcanic lakes, and numerous nature trails.

Rooms and Rates

The breakfast at Casale Hortensiae is a moment focused on flavor and well-being, crafted with organic, authentic, and seasonal ingredients. Homemade bread made with sourdough and ancient grains, artisanal jams made from the estate's own fruit, and a selection of dried and dehydrated fruits create a rich and natural offering. Herbal teas from locally grown herbs are also available, enjoyed on their own or paired with plant-based beverages. It's a mindful and nurturing way to start the day, especially favored by those who prefer a plant-based diet.

The culinary offering at Casale Hortensiae is rooted in a completely vegan and organic kitchen that is deeply connected to seasonal produce and the local area. Most of the ingredients are either grown in the property's synergistic garden or foraged from the surroundings, and they are transformed into simple, wholesome dishes inspired by "cuisine sauvage," where creativity and nature come together in unique ways each day.

Soups, grains, vegetables, wild herbs, slow-fermented bread, and fresh, colorful preparations create a convivial dining experience that is never standardized and changes based on what the land provides. Meals, available upon request, are served in a warm and inviting atmosphere, either by the fireplace during the cooler months or outdoors in pleasant weather, offering an authentic moment of sharing and well-being.
