“The Secret Exclusivity of Tuscia”

There are lands that need no proclamations, places that reveal themselves slowly, like a friend who rarely speaks of himself but, when he finally decides to open up, offers you the whole world. Tuscia is just like that: discreet, silent, almost shy, yet brimming with treasures that await only a curious glance.

Here, exclusivity is not flaunted, but whispered. It is not measured by gated resorts or private beaches, but by the rare chance to live experiences that would be impossible anywhere else.


🌿 To feel privileged in Tuscia means, for example:


  • Entering a rock-hewn church like San Giovenale and finding yourself alone with medieval frescoes that still seem to speak to the faithful of a thousand years ago.

  • Walking along an Etruscan via cava, enclosed by towering tuff walls, certain that you are stepping on the very stones once crossed by merchants and priests three thousand years ago.

  • Dining in a family-run tavern in Soriano nel Cimino, tasting porcini mushrooms freshly gathered from the mountains — a dish found nowhere else, born only of this forest, this season, these people.

  • Climbing to the Belvedere of Montefiascone and raising a glass of Est! Est!! Est!!! before a sunset that paints Lake Bolsena in golden hues — a luxury no money can buy, for it is nature itself that decides who will witness it.

    • Discovering, in a back alley of Civita di Bagnoregio, a door leading to a hidden Etruscan cellar, its barrels steeped in the scent of history and wine.

    • Standing in silence before the Sacred Wood of Bomarzo, not as a hurried tourist but as a chosen guest, letting the stone monsters whisper a language that only true listeners can understand.



    In Tuscia, enchantment is savored slowly:


    • in the village taverns, where a simple dish holds the dignity of a royal banquet;

    • in the volcanic wines, carrying centuries of history and the fire that once shaped these lands;

    • in the folk tales, where saints and brigands intertwine, and you realize legend is no less true than reality.

Every visit here is never just tourism, but a pioneering discovery. You truly feel part of a small circle, of those fortunate — or perhaps privileged — enough to cross the threshold into an exclusive world.


And so, if you should find yourself wandering the alleys of Viterbo, gazing at Lake Bolsena at sunset, or following secret paths that lead to a hidden hermitage among the Cimini, know that you are not simply traveling. You are experiencing a rare gift, one that few know and even fewer truly appreciate.


Because today, true exclusivity is not ostentation, but authenticity.
