Castello di Santa Cristina - Self-catering in Lazio
loc. Santa Cristina, 01025 Grotte di Castro, Viterbo
Lazio,
Italia
Come for the experience and the fascinating history of the Caterini family and their stunning castle. From the top of the turreted tower there are 360-degree views across three regions – Lazio, Umbria and Tuscany. The vast 250-hectare estate includes woods, gardens with olive trees, horse paddocks and trails for rides around the property - this is an internationally renowned equestrian centre.
Interiors all differ in size, but have lovely family antiques, paintings and prints, comfortable beds, small kitchens and outdoor spaces with tables. Join B&B guests for breakfast (fresh, local ingredients and delicious cake) on the veranda. Take part in a cookery class to learn the secrets of the classic dishes you'll eat at lunch and dinner.
Find a tennis court, mini football field, trampoline and indoor games; take riding lessons, rent an e-bike and explore, ask for a massage or yoga lessons, head to Lake Bolsena for water sports and swimming. Walks and cycles from the house will be sublime.
