Here we are, Laura and Giorgio Caponetti: if you are looking for leisure, good food, art and culture in Italy, join us! 

We will help you to discover our region and some hidden Italian treasures.

And here is the whole family: with our two sons Francesco and Lorenzo,  our daughter Chiara and some of the dogs.  

Since when we were young, our dream was to  spend our life in the country: big family, greenery all around, horses, dogs and animals of all kind; many friends and guests.

That's why we decided to move from North Italy and buy this farm in Tuscania: we were and still are sure this is the most beautiful place to live in  Italy.

Our family's motto is: "A guest may become a friend". And since it's been happening for twenty years, we have lots of good friends all over the world (and we are often in touch with many of them  since we speak English, French and some Spanish).

We personally ensure that the well-being of our guests is attended to each and every day, whether they are in our country house or during the tours. And here we live, sharing our house and our estate with guests from all over the world. Guests who become friends and enjoy Italian culture, food, nature and pleasure of slow life.

Tuscania is one of the oldest towns in Italy (about 3000 years!), and placed   just in the heart of Italy, in Latium at the border of Tuscany and Umbria: one hour from Rome, two from Florence. 

Ideal centre for discovering the beautiful hill-towns of central Italy like Orvieto, Siena, Viterbo, the lakes of Bolsena and Bracciano, the enchanting Maremma. Tuscania is surrounded by a land kissed by the Goddess of Fortune.

The climate is mild and pleasant all year long; and even now the all land is

untouched by air and soil pollution.

One of the most wonderful and wide green area you may find in Italy

And this is our valley, in the middle of the Natural Reserve of Tuscania: our farm - about 130 acres of peace, green, peaceful view - is the heart of the Natural Reserve.

The English writer D.H. Lawrence, "Lady Chatterly's lover" author, was here in Tuscania in the late 20s and he wrote:

The most beautiful view in all Italy:

the Etruscan valley of Tuscania.

From our garden, we have this view of Tuscania: three thousand years of history, with an unspoilt medieval town center.
And, all around, no factories, no pollution, mild weather, clean air and unforgettable landscapes.
Nearby, the sea, the Lago di Bolsena, the Thermal Spa: a perfect place for a good holiday
