Photos and Description of the Viterbo vacation house rental
House, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 1-5)

Our house is in the heart of the Medieval Quarter of Viterbo, one of the most perfectly preserved, walled, medieval cities of Europe.

The house is three stories, with the typical 'proferlo' or exterior stairway leading to the small balcony with a great view over the city and nearby gardens of Paradosso. The upper story is a mezzanine with two single beds and beamed ceiling. The floors are of Italian tiles throughout. The middle floor is the open plan living/sitting/dining area, while the lower floor has the second large bedroom and luxury bathroom

It dates to at least the year 1200 and the walls are built of peperino, a volcanic rock. The area is famous for its spas with healing qualities and was the favored places for the popes to take the waters as in the luxurious 'Terme Dei Pape,' or Baths of the Popes.

Ten minutes outside the city are the wooded hills of Mount Chimini, and Lake Vico. Lake Bolsena is 35 minutes to the North. The Lake is beautiful and perfect for a day trip. There are many interesting hilltop cities on the way, including Montefiascone, whose famous wine, 'Est Est Est', you can tast along the way. You will have a holiday with a difference!

There is a train to Rome every hour which takes about one hour 15 minutes. It is also possible to get the train to Florence or travel to Sienna for the day. The Mediterranean Sea is 30 minutes by car at Tarquinia where there is also a wonderful water park.

The medieval quarter of Viterbo is famous for the antique shops, and craft shops based on the famous 'Via San Pellegrino.' Your house is off this street! The area abounds in Roman and Etruscan archaeological remains and the architecture is truly amazing.

Viterbo is the perfect base for day trips to many parts of Italy. Even the Adriatic coast, or Norcia in the mountains. You have the best of both worlds, the Peace and Quiet of the Medieval Quarter, and all the benefits of a thriving, modern, university city.

We stayed here for two weeks with our two young children. The kids were extremely excited about staying in the loft and we were thrilled with the spacious bedroom and beautilful bathroom in the lower level. The amenities are everything you could ask for. The apartment is definitely in walking distance to shopping and eating and we even happened to stay at a time when a festival was going on in the courtyard down the street. We planned several day trips to Rome, Florence, and Pisa and even found a beautiful beach near Ortebella that took our breathe away and had us returning multiple times. The host of the apartment couldn't have been more helpful in helping us prepare and feel comfortable as we made our first trip abroad. She even tried to point out where the closest grocery stores were located. I could not have had the same experience staying in a hotel! This rates an 11 on a 1 to 10 scale!
Owner's Response: Dear Cassie,

Reading your account of your stay makes me smile. I am happy you and your family had such a good experience. Now that you have the travel bug, I am sure there are many more adventures awaiting you.

With Best Wishes to you and yours,

Sincerely,

Sylvia

Dear Sylvia,

We are so happy that we were able to stay at your home in Viterbo. It is a beautiful retreat home, and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
I really loved the CDs you had Listening to Verdi, Mozart and Carmen really made the mood very special.All in all, we know that Viterbo will always hold a special place in our hearts.
Our favorite moment was when we sat on the porch area with the chair and table set up and had Asiago cheese and Italian wine. We enjoyed thinking about the surrounding structures and contemplating what it must have been like 700 years ago. It still overwhelms us to think about it today.
The condition of the house was great and the air conditioning was amazing. We had a wonderful time in your home.
If you would like to use us as a reference, we would be more than happy to provide you with one.

Thank you so much for letting us stay at your lovely place in Viterbo. What a wonderful location and wonderful way to step back in time!
Modern house, fantastic bathtub, all necessary kitchen equipment for making meals.
Cafe Schenardi was our daily stop for coffee and reading English newspapers-great gelato too!
Your neighbours are friendly and very helpful. I am learning survival Italian.

We have had a wonderful time.
