We bought The Yellow House in 2002 and have always loved Italy, buildings and restoration. Some Italian friends have a property near Bolsena and after visiting the area we were struck by how unspoilt and beautiful it was.

Why e-mail - Emma de Souza (England), phone - Cristina Casian (Italy) chose Civitella d'Agliano
Initially we looked at properties near Bolsena but could not find anything with enough seclusion or land. We broadened our search and came across several possibilities, The Yellow House was our favourite. At the time the house was a ruin and we spent 2 years on the restoration. The project was great fun and we had lots of support from our project manager and now great friend, Kalle. Parts of The Yellow House were renovated again in 2010. The main change was the kitchen which has been extended to form a much larger kitchen dining area with modern professional kitchen (30ftx 12ft). A bocce court and garden were created in 2017 In 2018 an underground games room and larger sitting room were added, also the existing pizza oven was replaced with a larger, better insulated oven.
What makes this Villa unique
Secluded spot, beautiful views of valley, local area unspoilt by tourism. Very close to local shops, restaurants and medieval village. Large private swimming pool. Outside pizza oven. Perfect base to explore Lazio, Umbria and Tuscany. Wine tasting and catered events including cooking demonstrations. Private fly fishing instruction for all levels of experience.
