The agriturismo

Il Poggio d'Artilla (Artilla's Hill) is a gracious inn on a working farm. Il Poggio is an “agriturismo”, or tourist farm, located in the Tuscia region of Italy, land of the mysterious Etruscan civilization that predated the Roman Empire. Tuscia is at the  center of three major geographic regions—Umbria, Lazio and Tuscany. This very advantagious location offers guests a convenient place from which to visit some of the best of Italy's typical artistic centers and numerous natural and archeological wonders.

The agriturismo is operated by a skilled sommelier, who tends her own vinyard. She also cultivates seven hectares of olive orchard composed of ancient trees that produce a premium extra-virgin olive oil. As you stroll through the property, bounded in part by native spotifyforest rich in vegetation, you can explore fascinating “tufo” (volcanic stone) caves, presumably of the Etruscan period, in which it is possible to relive what were once the living and working conditions of local farmers until after the Second World War.

 

 

 

The accommodation

As a guest it is possible to participate in wine and cheese tasting, techniques of wine making and food preparation, including fruit juices, jams, preserves, cheese, pasta, bread and liquors. Also offered are courses in environmental education and medicinal and aromatic herbs.

The owner has outdone herself in creating a productive and attractive farm and the atmosphere at Il Poggio d'Artilla is welcoming and receptive. 

The country house, completely immersed in nature, is located on a height which dominates the landscape made of fascinating drops and many trees of olive. Its characteristic structure in tuff and white rocks was renovated with premium materials and furnished with taste and simplicity to render the atmosphere familiar and welcoming.

The farmhouse is set on two floors. On the ground floor there is a living room with a stone fireplace, a large kitchen and a bedroom with two twin beds and a bathroom, accessible to disabled persons. On the second floor one can find four bedrooms (doubles and triples), each with its own bathroom. From all rooms you can enjoy a splendid view of all the surrounding hills.

Close to the farmhouse there is a small and charming independent apartment (4 places) composed of master bedroom, living room with cooking area, fireplace and sofa-bed and one bathroom.

Available to all the guests there's also a comfortable swimming pool, accessible for guests, placed on a picturesque panoramic spot. 

Finally, an original mongolian yurt is available as space for group activities or experiment alternative ways of living.
