Villa Art-Wine
About This Villa
Located within the olive groves and vineyards of Alto Lazio and Umbria, you will find Villa Art-Wine. This stunning 16th-century home can sleep 14 - 16 guests in beautiful surroundings and boasts features such as a sculpture garden, a spa and a gym. When staying here, you will have everything you need for a serene break in the heart of Italy, whether you are planning to explore nearby towns and villages or simply spend time unwinding in the expansive grounds.
Spread over two wings which are connected by a covered walkway, the villa is a vast and beautifully designed place to stay. The large collection of rooms are all filled with carefully curated art work, antique furnishings and elegant décor, along with a warm and welcoming colour palette.
There are seven bedrooms available for guests to get a good night’s sleep and these are set over three floors. All of the bedrooms are en-suite and some offer both a shower room as well as a second bathroom with a tempting jacuzzi bath. An additional ensuite bedroom is available in an independent building.
When you all wish to come together for drinks or for dinner, you will have a choice of several gorgeous living rooms and a large dining room where you can enjoy breakfast and lunch prepared for you by the on-site chef.
The large grounds contain a number of smaller gardens, including a vegetable garden, a garden of geometric hedges and an incredible sculpture garden which boasts works by Banksy, Anish Kapoor and Mitoraj amongst other contemporary artists! The gardens are an idyllic oasis where you can get away from it all amongst the cypress trees and rose bushes or dine on the covered pergola which is filled with fragrant lemon trees.
Guests can also take a dip in the private pool or visit the gym in the grounds. After travelling and busy days exploring nearby towns, you will be happy to know that Villa Art-Wine has its own spa. Offering relaxation areas, a Turkish steam bath, massage rooms and a heated pool, the spa is the ideal spot for an afternoon of pampering and taking part in yoga and fitness classes.
Villa Art-Wine also boasts lots of experiences for your party to enjoy without having to leave the property. Whilst here you can take a tour of the winery and vineyards, followed by a candlelit wine tasting session where you will sample wines from the home’s cellar, paired with a sumptuous buffet.
The extensive grounds also boast a tennis court and an instructor can be booked if required. Alternatively, you could take a cooking class where you will learn how to make traditional dishes, pasta and deserts!
While staying at the villa you will find plenty to see and do in the nearby countryside, including walking and cycling. The villa owners can assist you in organising activities such as horse treks in the surrounding hills and hikes through the Valley of the Badlands. You can also pack a delicious picnic to take with you for a day unwinding in Alto Lazio and Umbria's picturesque landscape.
When you wish to do a spot of shopping or explore one of the nearby hilltop towns which are packed with charm and character. The closest is Civita di Bagnoregio, which is just 11km away from the villa. Civita di Bagnoregio is an incredible and rather unique town which is reached via a footbridge. The town is over 2500 years old and is known as the “dying village” as the hill is slowly eroding away. For now, however, this pretty town is still standing and is a lovely place to spend the afternoon exploring the historic streets before enjoying dinner with wraparound views.
