Casa Bolini is idyllically nestled in a quaint location atop the historic city of Orvieto in central Italy’s Umbria region. Enveloped by mediaeval towns, sleepy villages and undulating hills, this part of the country also known as the ‘the green heart of Italy’ is fantastic for those looking for a relaxing and restorative retreat.
Luckily, you’re right in the center of Orvieto, with its vanilla-hued historic buildings, terracotta roofs and crumbling facades only a moment’s walk away. Explore the Torre del Moro Orvieto – a long-standing clock tower providing panoramic views of the city and the surrounding countryside before admiring the grand monument of Palazzo Del Capitano Del Popolo. Before you head to check out the fascinating, 16th-century well shaft of Pozzo di San Patrizio and descend its 248 spiral steps, recharge your batteries in one of the nearby cafés and restaurants. The local cuisine is right at your doorstep, and small grocery shops are scattered around too if you need to stock up on fresh ingredients. A supermarket can be found nearby, just a 10-minute drive away.
Nature enthusiasts will love exploring the nearby countryside and hills with plenty of walking trails on offer.

In certain months, you can even book truffle hunting tours in the nearby forests.
Umbria’s lakes are also within a short driving distance away, so hop in the car and explore the refreshing waters of Lago di Corbara and Lago di Bolsena. Notably Lago di Bolsena has pebbly beaches and plenty of spots where to picnic and from where to jump into the water. The Bolsena village gets a lively atmosphere during the summer months, with its restaurants and bars buzzing with life.
Alternatively, visit Rome, the eternal city offering a captivating blend of ancient history and modern charm. In just 1.5 hours by car, you can explore the iconic Colosseum, where gladiators once battled, and the Roman Forum, where emperors roamed. Stroll through the cobblestone streets of the historic center, where you’ll find the magnificent Pantheon and the romantic Trevi Fountain. Indulge in mouthwatering Italian cuisine at local trattorias, savoring pasta, pizza, and gelato. Don’t miss Vatican City, home to St. Peter’s Basilica and the awe-inspiring Sistine Chapel. Whether you’re admiring art at the Borghese Gallery or people-watching in Piazza Navona, Rome’s timeless beauty and rich culture will leave an indelible mark on your heart.
