Orvieto and its territory
Between Todi and Orvieto the landscape changes in a clear
way. Before Todi the Tevere curves towards west and opens
the way to the extraordinary gorge of the Forello, vertical
place rich of suggestions, to open itself again on the
lake of Corbara and the slopes full of vineyards surrounding
it.
If
you want, during your stay, to taste the extra virgin olive
oil DOP of the Martani Mounts, oil with an intense
fragrance and a decisive flavour, you will find it in the
country house IL
PORTONE, charming place from which you can admire the
splendid panorama of Todi, Orvieto and Montecastello Vibio,
where there is the 19th century smallest theatre of the
world. Not far away we find Orvieto and here the landscape
definitely
changes. If you want to unify yourself to the nature and
its fruits and products, the country house BARBERANI, with the visit
to the caves and with the tasting pathway, will make you
discover
and appreciate the marvels of the wines DOC and IGT of
the area. It is a diverse Umbria opening itself on tuffs,
prelude
of the unique landscapes of the Tuscia. The forms of the
relief are changing, as well as the colours of the land,
the prospective. Not far away is located the oasis of Alviano,
other protected humid zone where it is possible to admire
diverse species of birds.
