The main attraction of Villa Passo Novo is its peerless charme. Without any doubt the classiest, most exclusive property in the area, Passo Novo is surrounded by an oak and chestnut wood and features an unbelievably large park gifted with all kinds of flowers and trees in bloom for most part of the year. Along with this true wonder that has gained Passo Novo its well-deserved reputation in the whole region, the property enjoys a breathtaking view over Orvieto, Acquapendente and Castelviscardo and features plenty of room, both inside and outside. A professional cook is at your disposal for your enjoyment of the best typical Italian meals to be served either in the beautiful dining room or al fresco, besides the swimming pool or in the patio. The whole house is decorated with antique furniture from all over the world. All the most modern appliances and kitchen tools are provided as well as daily cleaning service, which is performed by a professional staff on request. This stone house, which you get to through the woods along an untarred road uphill, seems to dominate everything around it, with a view through 360 degrees, taking in almost the whole of the horizon, which means that you can admire Orvieto on one side, and on the other Castelviscardo and Acquapendente, and even further away the lake at Bolsena. The villa has a special feeling about it, warm and welcoming, and is furnished with interesting old furniture from all over the world. The rooms on the ground floor all have beautiful fireplaces, each one different from the others, and the living-rooms have a refined atmosphere but at the same time represent a real country mansion. The property is surrounded by tall trees and a large area is covered by the garden, where flowers and plants of all kinds alternate with grass. A little further away is the 6x12m swimming-pool in a panoramic position for the private use of guests. Opposite the entrance is a covered patio furnished with a table and chairs and is ideal for breakfast and dinner outside.
