Antica Olivaia

Nestled among the Umbrian hills, just a few kilometers from Orvieto, Agriturismo Antica Olivaia welcomes guests in a 17th-century stone farmhouse, set within a UNESCO natural reserve. It is a genuine place where time seems to slow down, and the views stretch across olive groves, forests, and the tuff cliff that supports the stunning city of Orvieto.

The farmhouse, carefully restored, maintains its original structure, featuring terracotta floors, exposed beam ceilings, and large fireplaces. It offers six spacious rooms, each with a private bathroom and panoramic views, furnished in rustic style and named after different olive varieties, paying tribute to the centuries-old olive grove surrounding the property.

Breakfast is a special occasion: homemade cakes and jams, local honey, fresh fruit, and traditional products are served on the veranda or in the lounge overlooking the countryside. On select evenings, the hosts prepare simple yet unforgettable dinners inspired by Umbrian tradition, enhanced by locally sourced ingredients.

The agriturismo is surrounded by seven hectares of sustainably cultivated land, including an olive grove with 700 trees, a forest, an orchard, a synergistic garden, and a panoramic swimming pool that invites relaxation. A veranda and a gazebo provide stunning views of Monte Amiata and Orvieto, perfect for enjoying a sunset aperitif or a contemplative break.

Daniela and Marco, the owners, have turned their dream into a reality filled with hospitality, nature, and culture. Daniela, with her background in Art History, offers personalized itineraries exploring medieval villages, culinary paths, and nature walks. Marco, a musician and passionate cook, loves to share his enthusiasm for authentic flavors and the relaxed atmosphere of home cooking.

Four-legged companions also add to the family atmosphere: Miles, a mix between a setter and a labrador, and the kittens Lucy and Quilt, make the environment even more welcoming. Every detail contributes to creating an authentic experience where the harmony between humans and nature is tangible.

Agriturismo Antica Olivaia is the perfect base for discovering Umbria, as well as Lazio and Tuscany. From here, art cities such as Perugia, Assisi, Todi, Spoleto, and Montepulciano are easily accessible, alongside iconic sites like Civita di Bagnoregio, Lake Bolsena, and the Marmore Falls. The train from Orvieto provides convenient connections to Rome and Florence.

For those seeking a break from the daily hustle, this corner of the Umbrian countryside offers an invitation to slow down, reconnect with one's rhythms, and savor the beauty of simple things.
