8 acres of nature, up-to-date colonic farmhouse, oasis of peace with an unique bucolic charme.
This house is not a hotel!
It’s an ecosystem with a natural beauty to preserve.
Our B&B is 100% vegan, pet friendly and plastic free.
Are you tired of the anonymous predictability of the hotel rooms? Do you want a place where you can experience the countryside (the real one, with dogs, cats, pecking hens, braving donkeys, and goats chewing the flower – beds), taste home-made food-vegetarian, organic, local – go and explore different itineraries: touristic, cultural, archaeological, food-and-wine, cycling and Spa journeys?
A few hundred metres of unpaved road – first step in slowing down your pace – will be rewarded with our family welcome, fire place lit in winter, garden with swimming-pool for summer days, mattress filled with real wool to rest and our “Bella, Buona, Bio” breakfast. We are few minutes away from the Orte exit on A1 Motorway, even if it doesn’t look like it: around us only nature and open landscape of the Tevere Valley.
Sustainability and harmony with nature are principles that inspire our daily life from well before they were “en vogue”: we warm up water with solar energy, we are frugal with water and electricity, we try to re-use all our left-overs and scraps in order to produce the least possible waste, we use vegetables in season, often grown by us.
We help people’s regeneration through live juices (raw food) and colon cleansing (colon hydrotherapy).
If all of this is for you… we will welcome you with open arms.
Casale Hortensiae is absolutely “family friendly”. Pets are welcome, provided they do not attack our cats, chickens and donkeys!
B&B: the price per night for two people sharing a double bedroom is 80 euros, including breakfast. Check-out: 10:00 a.m.
“Country holiday”: For those wishing to spend a relaxing day enjoying the pool, the garden or the fireplace, the price is 45 euros per person/day, full board.
Please note that you can combine the two “formulas” within one single stay. The whole house can also be rented during the summer, for minimum stays of one week. Please enquire for prices and conditions, or click here for more information. Pets are welcome, as long as they behave peacefully in the presence of our own animals (dog, several cats, goats, chickens and donkeys).
