Vacation
in a country house
in the Alto Lazio region
Our country house "Podere Porcino" lies amid rolling hills between Orvieto and Lago di Bolsena where the historic regions of Tuscany, Umbria and Lazio meet. Each of our two lovingly renovated apartments has two rooms plus kitchen and bath and can accommodate up to for people. There is also a large room (50 square meters) with hardwood floors, used for gymnastics.

"Podere Porcino" is an oasis of quiet and relaxation surrounded by olive groves, vineyards and an enchanting landscape -- a unique escape from daily cares. Luxuriate in a pergola (with grill) or on the sunny lawn at your doorstep.

Possibilities abound for the more active vacationer: thermal springs at nearby Viterbo, paths for hiking and bicycling, and excursions to picturesque medieval towns and villages as well as Etruscan archaeological sites. Orvieto, Viterbo, Perugia, Assisi, Todi, Rome -- all are within easy reach.

We are a bilingual German/Italian family who manage a local stage-theater.

We are also involved in organizing various other artistic events. I am a gymnastics instructor trained in Germany (at Dore Jacobs School, Essen) and offer a full exercise program. I will gladly help in planning your excursions.

An absolutely wonderful place to go back to after tiring days sightseeing and exploring. Situated on the top of a hill with cooling breezes and plenty of shade, it's an ideal spot to stay in during the hot summer months. The owners are also extremely friendly and experts on the area. Breakfasts were homemade and delicious.

Podere Porcino is a lovely property overlooking the valley with a lot of "Tuscan" charm. The apartment I stayed in had everything one would need also for an extended stay. There is a lovely sitting/dining area just outside my apartment. The hosts were very welcoming and made my stay special. The location is great when you are looking for a retreat in the country. It certainly was a reprieve from the hustle and bustle in Rome and Siena. I would go back there any time.

Always worth a visit. For the last 14 years I have regularly stayed at Podere Porcino. I enjoy coming here to relax and always discover new places in the area like this time the Parco di Villa Lante and the Bosco del Sosseto. I enjoy shopping in Orvieto and Bolsena, swimming and dining at Lake Bolsena, sightseeing in Viterbo and the Park of the Monsters in Bomarzo. I cannot stop praising Podere Porcino for its beautiful accommodation and surrounding scenery. Maria's hospitality is fantastic. Her deep knowledge of the area and recommendations are invaluable. I will certainly come again.

Grazie Gretel

Podere Porcino is located in a beautiful countryside, extremely quiet and idyllic, yet easily accessible from the highway in 15-20 minutes for travelers like us. You can visit interesting places in the surroundings (Orvieto, Lake Bolsena etc.), unfortunately we didn't have enough time, so we'll have to come back for a longer holiday or similar. Maria, our hostess, was very attentive, friendly and helpful, preparing a wonderful breakfast. The room was nice, quiet and very clean, we slept great there. Our daughter was particularly fond of the dog Tocchio and the three cats, my husband and I really enjoyed the trattoria recommended by Maria. Thank you very much, Maria, for the beautiful and relaxing time we were allowed to spend with you.

A spectacular place, a very welcoming farmhouse just like its owners, Gianni and Maria, with the friendly Tokyo and the two cats. A perfect place to rest, regenerate, and take beautiful excursions in the surroundings. We will definitely come back.

You can't help but breathe a new, different air at Podere Porcino. An escape from the city to a place where hospitality, care, and simplicity bring you back to the essentials. The bench facing the valley recalls Leopardi's gaze towards the infinite. And so, even poetry. Thank you Maria, Gianni, and Tommaso. Who knows, maybe life will make us meet again.

A delightful place, managed with skill by Mrs. Maria. The wonderful panorama and the beauty of the farmhouse, together with the hospitality of the owners, ensured us a truly pleasant stay. We plan to return soon.
