Design and History townhouse in Civita di Bagnoregio, Viterbo
Three-bedroom townhouse, part of a fifteenth-century building, with garden, underground caves, and panoramic view for sale in Bagnoregio, Viterbo. In the charming town of Civita di Bagnoregio, a magical place whose history begins with the Etruscans, and which today is experiencing a new period of splendor after being abandoned after the Second World War, this tuff jewel is in the main square in the pedestrian area. It has been restored using original and contemporary materials and furnished to create a harmonious and welcoming mix of antique and design. The entrance on the first floor, through a beautiful stone staircase, takes us into the living area consisting of an open space with a kitchen, dining area, and living room, where there is an original fireplace in basalt stone; on the upper floor, the two bedrooms and two bathrooms enjoy a breathtaking view of the surrounding clay gullies. On the ground floor, where there was an old “workshop”, there is now a study, a bathroom, and a bedroom, linked to the upper floor through an internal staircase. The minimal but elegant furniture (included in the sale) defines the house, allowing the attention to fall on the architectural beauty of the building. A very interesting part is certainly that of the caves dug into the tuff, probably Etruscan tombs which, reclaimed and cleaned, are now livable and used, among other things, as wine cellars. The tunnel that connects them leads to a 7-meter-high Roman water cistern, with its original hydraulic plaster, and to the garden on the ground floor. This property, located at the end of the 300-meter pedestrian bridge linking Civita to the new town, is an ideal investment opportunity both as a second residence and a location for exclusive events and luxury tourist rentals in one of the most sought-after destinations.
