Private country house between Orvieto and Lago di Bolsena

Description of Casa Acquafresca, near Orvieto, Italy:
This country house, renovated in 2001, lies among meadows and fields and is surrounded by oak and chestnut woods. Even in very hot weather, the walls made of local tufa stone guarantee pleasantly cool temperatures indoors. The spacious grounds include sun-drenched meadows with numerous old trees, the shade of which seems made for the siesta hour. The house has two storeys. On the ground floor there is a large kitchen with an open fireplace, a dining area and two splendid, spacious living rooms, from which three doors lead out to two terraces, one of which is roofed. A walled stairway leads up to the first floor, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms leading off a spacious corridor. The house is well appointed and elegantly decorated, with old Italian furniture tastefully blended with modern elements.


Leisure time and sports: In the immediate vicinity (7 kilometres) is Lake Bolsena, a large crater lake, whose very clean waters extend to a depth of 150 metres, offering wonderful swimming conditions, particularly on its western banks. Surfing and sailing are possible with good wind conditions, particularly in the afternoons. Boats can be rented (mostly sailing boats). If you wish, we can provide you with up to 4 mountain bikes at a cost of 30 Euros for each bike per week. Please make your request for the number of bikes that you need at the time of booking. You can go for particularly beautiful walks in the nature reserve of Monte Ruffeno, which can be reached in less than half an hour. And the chestnut and beech woods of 2000-metres high Monte Amiata, which lies mostly in Tuscany, are worth an excursion.

Culture: All the sightseeing available in the area will leave you no time to get bored! The only problem is choosing between the many Etruscan tombs and the impressive museum in Tarquinia (60 kilometres away), and beautiful towns within a radius of about 50 kilometres, such as Todi, Viterbo and Orvieto, or smaller places like Tuscania, Pitigliano, Sovana and Sorano. Please feel free to contact us at any time for further information.

Sea bathing: Only 80 kilometers away, or a good hour´s drive along an interesting road, and you are on one of Italy´s cleanest beaches. In 2007 'L´ultima spiaggia', that is the last beach in Tuscany before the border with Lazio, was ranked in the highest category (along with only a few other beaches) by a well known environmental protection organisation. Here you can walk for hours along the beach, or enjoy delicous fish meals at a restaurant there (with table service or self service), or in the evenings, drink an aperitif as the sun sets behind Monte Argentario.

A great three weeks
This is a very nice property. Veronica is very accommodating. The description of her house is very accurate. We like to choose properties away from tourist attractions yet close enough to drive to. Veronica’s house fills the bill, about a 20 minute drive to Orvieto. Happy to recommend

Delightful property
Veronica was a very kind host. The property is one of the finest we have stayed at in Italy. As per other visitors comments, the roads are narrow, a car the size of a Golf is an ideal size. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped, plenty of lounge space and terraces outside. It is situated is what could only be described as a large park, the landscaping is massive. Very rural location, you will have to drive for any facilities. Recommended if you want a quiet holiday.

A hidden gem
We absolutely loved our stay at Veronika's place and it's proximity to Orvieto (about a 25 minute drive away). During our stay we visited Todi, Assisi, Amelia and Lake Bolsena. We shopped every day at the Coop in Orvieto near the autoroute. The kitchen was very well equiped. We enjoyed cooking in the evening. The only thing to flag for others - if you are driving and you have a very big car - the dirt track to the property is very, very narrow and our car only just fit! Hence the reason we didn't go out in the evening. Fine if you have a smaller car.

ABSOLUTELY MARVELOUS!!
Very comfortable bed. Large bathroom. Excellent, well-supplied, modern kitchen with everything you need or want. Two wonderful outdoor porches in addition to wide open fields and a pergola with comfortable chairs. I can't imagine a nicer place to stay. It is certainly far and above any place I've stayed for vacation rentals. We loved everything about this place and were sad to leave it after just a week.

A wonderful place to stay
We truly enjoyed our stay here. Veronika was very helpful in getting us to the location because it is off the usual roads! But once we found it, we loved it. It is so peaceful and quiet and comfortable! We loved being able to drive to Orvieto for a bite to eat, and discovering Bolsena nearby was delightful. The kitchen is amazing at this house, and we had several nice meals here. Don't stay here if you're looking for tourist traps or the usual Italian vacation -- what you'll find, instead, is nature, peace, quiet, and relaxation. We could not recommend this house -- or Veronka -- higher!

Comfortable Rusticity
Casa Acquafresca provides an idyllic setting in the Umbrian countryside, “the green heart of Italy.” The renovated farmhouse remains true to its origins but with all the modern conveniences. Luxuriate in the solitude, sleep with the windows open and awaken to birdsong. We enjoyed all our meals al fresco in one of two outdoor settings on this large property. The kitchen is huge and lacking nothing; it is fully equipped with gas cooktop, electric oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, microwave and small appliances. Wifi proved to be reliable indoors and out. The location is convenient to Orvieto, Lake Bolsena and Civita di Bagnoregio. We stayed for two weeks in May when many of Veronika’s abundant flowers were spectacularly in bloom. We can easily recommend this property and would gladly return.

A Green Oasis in the Italian Countryside
We spent a wonderful week at this charming house near Lake Bolsena. The house is in a quiet park-like setting and has everything you could need for a relaxing enjoyable time in this part of Italy. Veronica was very friendly, helpful, and very conscienscous in making sure we had an enjoyable stay. The photos on the VRBO site are accurate and the house and grounds are just as they seem. We will certainly be back here again.

FAB HOUSE IN IDYLLIC LOCATION
The house is perfect for two couples to get away from the crowds. Situated in a quiet village but very close to Orvieto, 15mins & Bolsena also 15mins. The gardens are extensive & very private. There is a small local shop but we used Lidl on the Orvieto ring road-great value. Would not hesitate to stay again, the perfect house & Veronica was extremely helpful before our visit.

What a fabulous find!
The house is every bit as gorgeous as the pictures suggest - if not better! We were there in very hot weather and yet there were several beautifully shady areas to sit. The house is cool indoors and, with the windows open - lovely and breezy. The facilities are all perfectly adequate although we missed a freezer compartment in the fridge for ice. The house is quite remote but we felt a sense of WOW every time we drove back to it - we felt so lucky to be staying there. It is actually only 15mins drive from Bolsena through beautiful countryside. Bolsena is a really gorgeous little town with lots of activity. The lake is lovely for swimming - we found the best beaches were around Marta on the other side of the lake but you can certainly go for a dip from various little spots in the town itself. There are several little hilltop towns that are well worth a visit. We particularly liked Todi and Amelia. Civita de Bagnoreggio is also well worth a visit. Veronika herself was not around while we were there but was in contact and made every effort to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Her neighbour Evie very kindly picked plums for us and left us some lovely lavender tincture. We would definitely recommend the house to anyone who wants a peaceful holiday in what I would describe as "real Italy".

Lovely house located close to Lake Bolsena and Orvieto, which are both worth visiting more than once. We really enjoyed our stay! Even though the weather wasn’t great, we were very comfortable in the cosy house with two fireplaces! Veronika, the host, was charming. Would love to go back again!

Traum zum Entspannen
Wir haben uns sehr auf dieses Haus gefreut und sind vom ersten Betreten bis zum Verlassen verliebt in dieses wunderschöne Anwesen. Von der Küche bis zu den Bädern und Schlafzimmern ist alles detailverliebt und kunstvoll gestaltet, so dass wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt haben. Obwohl keine Klimaanlage vorhanden ist, haben wir nachts super geschlafen und uns morgens vom Vogelgezwitscher wecken lassen. Es herrscht hier eine traumhafte Ruhe. Man kann dem Alltagsstress herrlich entfliehen, weil wir hier kein Netz fürs Handy hatten, aber wenn es notwendig ist dann kann man über WLAN telefonieren. Die Gastgeberin ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben kaum gemerkt dass sie parallel anwesend war. Wir werden auf alle Fälle wieder diese Unterkunft buchen, weil wir noch nie so eine tolle Bleibe hatten. P.S. Wer hier wohnen möchte, sollte schon fahrtechnisch erfahren und mutig sein 😁😂

Paradiesisch
Wir waren knapp zwei Wochen auf dem wunderbaren Anwesen von Veronika. Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen und trotzdem sie direkt daneben wohnte, haben wir die ganze Zeit sehr schön unsere Ruhe gehabt. Das Häuschen liegt in einem sehr großen parkähnlichen Garten mit vielen Bäumen und ist weit weg von der Straße, so dass wir die Hunde immer laufen lassen konnten. In der Küche ist alles an Küchengerät vorhanden, um auch mal selbst zu kochen. Es gibt deutsches TV und Wifi (manchmal wackelig). Ich habe selten so viel und lange und gut im Urlaub geschlafen wir dort. Einziger wirklich winzig kleiner Nachteil, man fährt immer mindestens eine viertel bis halbe Stunde bis man irgendwo ist (am See, in einem Ort oder in einem Supermarkt). Deswegen ein Tipp, VOR der Anreise im COOP bei Orvieto, der auch Sonntags geöffnet hat, einkaufen (sonst ist man nochmal mindestens eine Stunde unterwegs, um die notwendigsten Dinge zum Essen und Trinken zu haben)

Nous avons véritablement apprécié ces 2 semaines de séjour dans cette ravissante maison, spacieuse, confortable et joliment décorée. L'équipement est parfait et le jardin exceptionnel au milieu d'une nature bien vivante. Torre San Severo est situé en Ombrie mais à la limite du Latium et de la Toscane. De ce fait il y a quantité de choses à faire à moins d'une heure de route. Veronika est une hôte aimable et toujours disponible. On a qu'une envie, c'est revenir.

Wir haben uns sehr gut erholt. Die Unterkunft war sehr schön und stilvoll eingerichtet, alles war sehr sauber und sehr praktisch eingerichtet. Wir haben sehr oft gekocht und es war alles da, was man brauchte. Die Umgebung ist sehr ländlich und ruhig, jedoch ist man sehr schnell in Bolsena und am See. Wir waren oft schwimmen und haben uns abgekühlt, haben aber auch oft die Zurückgezogenheit des Hauses und des Gartens genutzt. Die Gastgeberin war sehr nett und immer zur Stelle, wenn man ein Anliegen oder eine Frage hatte. Wir können diesen Urlaubsort sehr empfehlen.

Ruhig und wunderschön
Wir suchten ein Ferienhaus, das abgelegen und ruhig in der Natur liegt und wo unser Hund auch etwas im Garten toben könnte. Genau das und so viel mehr haben wir hier gefunden. Das erste Abenteuer ist schon die Anfahrt. "Ab vom Schuss" ist hier nicht nur eine Phrase. Wir waren schon überzeugt, da hatten wir noch nicht einmal das Haus betreten. Ein riesiger, (nicht eingezeunter) wunderschöner Garten, mitten im Nichts. Das Haus steht dem in nichts nach. Sauber und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und selbst bei über 30° angenehm kühl. Ich war anfangs etwas skeptisch, da die Vermieterin direkt hinten am Haus mit dran wohnt und wir eigentlich "allein" sein wollten. Allerdings war die Sorge komplett unbegründet, da die Vermieterin sehr nett ist und wir uns sowieso kaum gesehen haben. Auch die Nachbarn waren freundlich und kaum gesehen. Wer also mal ein paar Tage "untertauchen" will, ohne Handy, Trubel und Action ist hier genau richtig. Trotzdem sind aber Aktivitäten wie wandern, baden, Museen, Städtetour etc in kurzer Distanz zu erreichen.
