Overlooking the largest volcanic lake in Europe, the agri-relais Il Poderaccio enjoys an incredible position facing south: sunny and sheltered from the cold winds coming from the north.
On the border between Tuscany and Umbria, a few kilometers from the beaches of Argentario, the spas of Saturnia, Vulci and Viterbo.
According to the famous American magazine Forbes, Bolsena is one of the ten most beautiful small towns in Europe. The only Italian town on the list, Forbes claims that it has much of the charm of Tuscany, which it borders, but less crowds.
Bolsena is a real gem, situated on the shores of the lake of the same name, which attracts many Italian and foreign tourists with its crystal clear waters and beautiful landscape.
For lovers of art and culture, Tuscia is one of the most beautiful and least known archaeological, historical and natural areas in Italy. Here it is possible to organize, independently or with expert guides suggested by us, guided tours to Etruscan necropolis, Renaissance villas, natural parks, medieval villages or ghost towns, which are among the most in vogue at the moment. The spas are rich in some of the healthiest oligomineral waters. All within reach with day trips: Viterbo and its thermal baths is only 30 km, Orvieto 22 km, Rome 120 km, the sea 55 km, Saturnia and its thermal baths 45 minutes, San Casciano dei Bagni and its thermal baths 30 minutes, the border with Tuscany and Umbria 30 km.
Tuscia is an ancient land, rich in history, traditions and legends, full of charm and mystery.
Among the most legendary places is the Bomarzo Monster Park. Not to be missed is the Etruscan Pyramid, also located in the territory of Bomarzo.
Another magical place is the hermitage of Poggio Conte near the Fiora river.
One of the most important traditions in the entire national panorama is the transport of the Macchina di Santa Rosa (Unesco Intangible Heritage), which takes place every year on September 3rd to pay homage to the saint so beloved by the people of Viterbo. The feast of Corpus Domini (which originated in Bolsena with the Eucharistic miracle that took place in the splendid Basilica of Santa Cristina) is also important and very evocative, during which the flowers of the Infiorata burst with colours along the beautiful streets of the historic centre.
Tuscia, thanks to the variety of its typical products, can be called the paradise of food and wine. The landscape, untouched over the years due to the absence of industrial plants, is wild and rich. At present, the queen of agricultural production in Tuscia region is undoubtedly the hazelnut, which is widespread in the Cimini Mountains and strongly characterises a natural landscape already greened by the splendid forests of oak, beech and chestnut trees.
Another “jewel” of Tuscia is olive oil, one of the symbols of Viterbo agriculture. The most prized olive oil is that of Canino, one of the best in Latium, which for its excellence has received the DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) label.
There are many other products, perhaps less known nationally, but of great quality and closely linked to local traditions: The lentils of Onano, the eel and the whitefish of the lake of Bolsena, the red garlic of Proceno, the honey of Monte Rufeno, the black bread of Monteromano, the sambuca of Viterbo, chestnuts, including the exquisite marroni chestnuts of the Cimini Mountains, the potatoes of Alto Lazio, the carrots of Viterbo, the bean of Sutri and the “bean of purgatory” of Gradoli are just some of the “goodies” that the experienced and curious gourmet can discover in the typical restaurants of Viterbo. This immense agricultural heritage and popular traditions are reflected in the authenticity and specificity of the products on the table.
