Casa Reggio

Ever seen a pool in a cave in the middle of a medieval town? This is an absolutely unique place to stay!

To arrive at the foot of Civita di Bagnoregio is to discover a place that until then only existed in dreams: the ultimate Italian hill town preserved by a rich and splendid history and by the love of its current inhabitants. Entering the old town by walking over its footbridge and going through its Etruscan gateway is like stepping back in time 600 years to rediscover the beauty and peace of a different way of life. The town appears almost made of gold and silver - the gold of the tufa rock of its cliffs and houses, the silver of its basalt paved streets. Like a jewel that was eroded by time only to preserve its most beautiful core, Civita will transport you to a place of wonder and poetry, close to the incredible history of man’s tenacity and vision, to nature’s endurance and labor of love.

Casa Reggio is a portion of a 14th century 'Palazzo' that sits on an underground system of caves, Etruscan tombs and a Roman water cistern. This Palazzo, which gives place to 6-8 guests, is part of a fairytale medieval town on the border with Umbria, not far away from the famous Umbrian town of Orvieto. The house was restored with amazing care and became something really magical The caved pool is absolutely unique as well as all the caves underneath the house and the formal garden overlooking the whole valley.

This is a very popular house, so early bookings, one year ahead are definitely required!

The introduction of the modern minimal kitchen and furnishings creates a unique synergy that makes the space at once comfortable, poetic, yet respectful of its 'original soul'.

Other rooms

The wine cellar and caves,an old Roman water cistern, still plastered in its original hydraulic plaster, has been transformed into a truly unique wine cellar of highly selected local wines for the guests' delight.

Surroundings

Civita di Bagnoregio is a unique destination: a pristine Medieval village on a promontory set in a vast valley carved into volcanic rock by two rivers. The only connection to the modern world is a footbridge by which you will travel the last half mile of your voyage into another world, virtually untouched by modern life. This town founded by the Etruscans, conquered by the Romans, shaped by the architecture of the Middle Ages and Renaissance is located in central Italy in the Lazio region at the border with Umbria. It survives and thrives in the heart of the Alta Tuscia, the beautiful and historically rich land of the Etruscans, and offers a gateway not only to the past but to many beautiful villages and towns in southern Tuscany, western Umbria, and northern Lazio. If you are travelling by car, Civita di Bagnoregio is 15 minutes south of the Orvieto exit on the A1 highway connecting Rome to Florence, 15 minutes east of the ancient Via Cassia connecting Rome to Siena. The closest train station is Orvieto which is only 15 minutes away and about an hour’s ride from Rome. The closest airport is in Perugia but Rome’s Fiumicino airport is the most convenient for international travel (1.5 hours away). While this house is a wonderfully isolated, almost otherworldly spot, an oasis of tranquility and romance, there are several restaurants and 2 café / bars in town. You can find all the other amenities required for a pleasant stay in its sister city of Bagnoregio--the town on the other side of the footbridge and less than a mile away. This includes banks, a gas station, a weekly market, a supermarket, bakeries, and all the other wonderful shops a typical small Italian town has to offer.
