AGRITURISMO LA PIANTATA
L
a Piantata is an eighteenth-century farmhouse in the heart of the archaeological area of the Terme dei Papi, Vulci, Sovrana and the majestic Civita di Bagnoregio. The property is located between Lake Bolsena and the Etruscan village of Tuscania, between rolling hills of olives and lavender. Sleeping in a treehouse is the unique experience offered by the Agriturismo La Piantata, since in addition to the comfortable rooms of the farmhouse, the agriturismo features the treehouses called “Black Cabin” and “Bambu Suite”. The first is a five-star, high-tech ‘cabin’ of 87 square meters in the shade of a 200-year-old maritime pine tree, with a 360° view of a thousand-year-old olive grove and the sea of Tarquinia. The second is a treehouse that can accommodate up to seven people in two connecting rooms. It has a hydromassage pool and Finnish sauna, as well as a breakfast terrace all up in a centuries-old oak tree, for 160 square meters of blissful relaxation.
