Casa poiana
About the home
The house is built in stone with hand-made terracotta tiling throughout. The ceilings are also made of terracotta with large chestnut beams. All the rooms have separate exits onto the terraces and the garden surrounding the house and the use of glass is maximised to take full advantage of the truly superb views.
The property is on a 1.5 hectare plot, planted with vines, olives and fruit trees. The lawn area in front of the house is fully fenced in, making it ideal for children and is built on a single story so there are no stairs to worry about.
The house is also perfect for the winter months as we have installed under-floor heating and thermostats throughout (an extra cost for heating is levied when the system is in operation) and the lake views can be even more impressive in winter.

Guestbook for Casa poiana
Mike and Sue Scott: We had the most wonderful vacation at Casa Poiana. It's historic location with such stunning panoramic views is truly beautiful and we felt totally at home in your home. A very good base for sightseeing; we particularly enjoyed Orvieto and Lake Bolsena. We feasted from the grill most evenings whilst watching the sun go down over the Lake. Our hearts are still at Casa Poiana.' Sue and Jon Scaldwell: We have many happy memories of "Casa Poiana", and will treasure them for years to come. It was lovely to hear so few English voices during our holiday we really felt that we saw a true Italian village, and experienced the Italian way of life. Gerdie and Leendert Klaasen: It has a unique location and a terrific view over Lake Bolsena. We have been to Bolsena several times but never did we have such a wonderful view over the lake. We will certainly consider coming back some time. Thank you for letting us use your wonderful house and thank you for making us feel very welcome.
