You can call Rocca di Benano home on your visit to Central Italy. The villa is located in the walled village of Benano, about 20 minutes from Orvieto, making it a perfect home base for day trips to some of the best parts of Tuscany, Umbria, and Lazio.
Five bedrooms and four bathrooms accommodate up to 10 friends or family to vacation together in the comfort of a fully renovated 1,000 year-old villa. There is plenty of space for both privacy and togetherness. In addition to the living and dining rooms, there is a TV/game room and a terrace that is a popular spot for unwinding after a day of exploring. Air conditioned, washer and dryer, dishwasher, and WiFi, all the modern comforts wrapped in old world character. The house consists of four floors and each room has its own special charm that will make you feel at home the moment you walk in the door. There are high-end beds, luxurious linens and modern plumbing in the recently renovated bathrooms. One of the bedrooms has a king-size bed, two have queen-size beds, and each of the other two bedrooms has two twin beds.
Guests experience the village as locals do. Rocca di Benano sits on a tiny piazza facing a small church. You can meet the neighbors who gather around a table in the piazza on summer evenings, sharing homemade wine and shelling peas. Watch them work the meticulously maintained olive grove on the facing hillside. And join the ladies of the village shopping from the merchant trucks that pull up to the gate of the village.
The owners are an American couple from Ohio, who fell in love with Italy. After vacationing there for years, they couldn’t pass up the opportunity to buy Rocca di Benano and share their love and experiences with other travelers. Karen is a happy retiree from Big American Business who now devotes herself to their Tiny Italian Business, working with guests to make sure they have everything they need to get the most of their vacation.
