Experience the charms of rural Italy at a small hotel-farm just outside the medieval town of Tarquinia. It’s an easy 30-minute drive up the coast from the port. Located in the beautiful valley of the River Marta, Valle del Marta boasts views of the vineyards that have been cultivated since ancient Roman times, the old city walls, vast stretches of Mediterranean scrub and gently rolling farmland that leads down to the sea. You’ll be welcomed by the staff who will escort you to the swimming pool area whose surrounding patio is reserved exclusively for the group. As the sun begins to sink and the skies are tinged in shades of orange, red and pink, enjoy the views, your drink and a savory spread of olives, nuts, bruschetta, cheese and wild-boar sausage. During your visit, you are also invited to explore the hotel’s public areas, which include a museum-like gallery and garden.
Toast the end of the day at an agri-tourism hotel overlooking vineyards, farmland and countryside.
