Tetti Marquet, Cottage with Pool near Lake Bolsena, Tuscia, Lazio

Situated in lovely countryside on the borders of Tuscany, Umbria and Lazio Lazio, Tetti Marquet sits in a strategically rich position just 10 minutes north of Lake Bolsena. Bordered to the north by Tuscany and to the east by Umbria, the area is a land of gently rolling countryside, volcanic craters that gave rise to the beautiful freshwater lakes of Bolsena and Vico, thermal pools and medieval hilltop villages; Pitigliano, Sorano, Civita di Bagnoregio, Orvieto, Montefiasone and Tarquinia, to name but a few.

Lake Bolsena and Bisentia Island in ItalyThe Lake of Bolsena lies within the northern part of the province of Viterbo, also called Alto Lazio or Tuscia, and provides beaches for lazing and picnics, a wide range of water sports, spectacular scenery and three thriving little towns; Bolsena, Marta and Capodimonte. Bolsena, on the northern shore, has a museum full of Etruscan relics, a fine medieval castle, picturesque alleys and two early churches. Marta and Capodimonte, on the southern shores, are pretty little towns with beaches, and from where you can organise boat trips around Isola Bisentina (pictured).

Pitigliano hill town in Tuscany MaremmaTo the south is Viterbo, with its papal palace from the middle ages, and the Tarquinian necropolis. To the west, Sorano and Pitigliano (pictured), of medieval importance and interest, are picturesquely striking up on their hills. The approach to Pitigliano in particular, especially from the road coming up from Manciano and Rome, is one of the most spectacular sights anywhere in Italy. Rounding the last curve you are confronted by a wall of medieval stone houses that seem carved out of the tufa rock cliffs on which the town rests.

For gastronomic delights and local specialities the area is a treat for the tastebuds: various lake fish in the villages around lake Bolsena, mushrooms at Vetralla, chestnuts at Soriano al Cimino, beef steak at Monteromano, wine at Montefiascone and many, many more! The beaches of the Maremma can be reached in under an hour and Rome, Siena and Florence are all accessible for day trips.

A holiday at Tetti Marquet is to experience a taste of the old Italy and an extremely laid-back way of life whilst having some of the finest old towns and a wealth of sightseeing opportunity almost from your doorstep. The owner lives on the estate in a separate cottage with her little dogs and a couple of cats.
