La Tana dell'Istrice - Itineraries


		Reaching us is very easy from Rome airports (Fiumicino or Ciampino) only 90' drive to us taking the A1 motorway from the airport to Attigliano gate (*see detailed driving instructions*). When here, many itineraries are available: Orvieto only 18 km. away, and both Rome and Florence may be rapidly reached by rail or motorway. Viterbo, the Popes town, is very close too as well as Siena and the Etruscan towns of Tarquinia and Tuscania. Moving into Umbria, Todi, Spoleto, Deruta, Perugia and the Franciscan towns of Assisi and Gubbio are at a couple of hours drive.
			The Argentario or the Duna Feniglia and its beautiful beach in the Maremma are only a one-hour drive away, for those who fancy a trip to the seaside. However, swimming sailing and windsurfing may also be practised in the nearby volcanic lakes: Bolsena, with its wonderfully limpid waters and the small lake of Vico, situated amongst the chestnut groves in a magnificent scenery. Not far from Civitella is also the golf course "Le Querce" of Nepi-Sutri. For mountain lovers, on the other hand, the area offers the superb chestnut and beech forests of the Monti Cimini or the Monte Amiata, which in the winter is also a skiing resort.

Viterbo, the main town of the Tuscia - that is the ancient name for the region in which we are presently located - also offers the pleasurable benefits of its thermal waters: "Bulicame" and "Bagnacci", with their natural baths into which slightly sulphureous water from the hot springs has been channelled, or the centre of "Terme dei Papi", open throughout the year, with its warm open-air swimming pool, saunas and mud-therapy, massage facilities and beauty centre. San Casciano dei Bagni and Saturnia, similarly renowned thermal centres, are not far from Civitella and you cann add the pleasure of a beautiful drive to reach these places to the beauty of healt treatment.

For those who may not wish to roam too far afield, Civitella itself and its immediate surroundings offer many amenities, e.g. fully equipped facilities for playing tennis, for horse-riding, fishing, walking and cycling.

The "Oasi di Alviano", a WWF birds sanctuary situated on the banks of the Tiber, offers opportunities for birdwatching and guided tours.

Finally, only a few km. away from the village are the famous "Parco dei Mostri" (Monsters Park) of Bomarzo and, perched on a clay wall typical of this landscape, Civita di Bagnoregio, the illustrious "dying town".

Much more could be said to describe these locations. We invite you to visit us to get to know better a place where life is sweet.
