NOTES ON THE TERRITORY

The upper Tuscia of Viterbo, on the border with Tuscany and Umbria, a site formerly occupied by the flourishing Etruscan civilization, is a predominantly agricultural area, where the impact of industrial settlements is minimal or almost non-existent. In addition to the relaxing bathing activity on Lake Bolsena, the area is rich in spas, networks of trails for trekking, mountain biking and cycling in general. There is obviously no shortage of archaeological sites linked to the ancient Etruscan civilization, cities and characteristic medieval villages. The location of the structure allows you to move easily and enjoy what the territory is able to offer.
