Overview
Perched atop the captivating clifftop city of Orvieto, Residenza Granaro is one of the three apartments in a large palazzo Casa Bolini. This retreat, strategically positioned midway between the cultural gems of Florence and Rome, serves as your dream gateway to explore the enchanting landscapes of Umbria, Tuscany, and the UNESCO-classed surroundings.
A mere stroll away from the lively city centre, Residenza Granaro remains in the loving care of an aristocratic Italian family, ensuring an authentic and distinguished experience. This four-story palazzo stands as a living testament to the region’s history, with a rich tapestry of over 3000 years, gracefully merging traces of the Renaissance and Medieval eras with its ancient Etruscan foundations. Each of the three luxury residences exudes opulence, boasting sumptuous decor, lavish furnishings, and private living and dining spaces that effortlessly evoke a sense of grandeur and comfort.
Residenza Granaro is the largest apartment of the three, boasting two elegantly furnished double rooms and a large bathroom, convenient for up to four people. In the apartment, guests can find a large open living and dining area designed for kicking back with an aperitif in the evenings, as well as a fully equipped kitchen. Although complimentary breakfast items are provided, budding chefs are invited to whip up home-cooked meals using first-class appliances – and cherish them outside on one of the two private terraces.
Beyond the palatial interiors, Casa Bolini enchants guests with private gardens and terraces offering sweeping, panoramic views of the breathtaking surroundings. Here, you can pamper yourself in the sauna, rejuvenate in the plunge pool, maintain your fitness routine in the well-equipped gym, or simply savour a moment of serenity on the rooftop terrace – all thoughtfully designed for your enjoyment.
What truly sets this property apart is the privilege of exploring the owner's countryside estates, where truffle forests, vineyards, and olive groves beckon. It's an invitation to immerse yourself in the authentic Italian experience, a celebration of the art of fine living.
The historic centre of Orvieto is practically at your doorstep, offering remarkable churches, landmarks, and museums, as well as charismatic restaurants, wine bars, and cafés where you can relish local cuisine and wines.
A short drive away, you'll discover the lush Umbrian countryside, with its rolling hills, verdant forests, and picturesque lakes, making it an idyllic haven for nature enthusiasts. The serene Lago di Bolsena and the tranquil Lago di Corbara are within easy reach, while a scenic drive can take you to the enchanting Lago di Bracciano. And for those basking in the height of summer, a delightful excursion to the Tuscan coast is just a drive away, where you can soak up the sun on the sun-kissed beaches lining the seafront.
Furthermore, thanks to its strategic location, Residenza Granaro offers easy access to Rome, Florence, and other notable cities like Grosseto, making it great for day trips or extended stays.
