Balneum
Architectural home, with great sense of design, in the town of Civita di Bagnoregio, where arriving by walking on the majestic 300 mt long bridge
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.
Balneum is a portion of a 14th century 'Palazzo' that sits on an underground system of caves, Etruscan tombs and a Roman water cistern. The property, which gives place to 6 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 caves underneath the house and the formal garden overlooking the whole valley complete the picture.
One important aspect of the property and of the town itself, is that no cars can reach it, and the main way to get to the house and the town is by a 300 mt walk on the bridge.The outward walk has the final stretch uphill. It is possible though to organize a small electrical car service to support with bringing lluggages or shopping.
