GENUINE ITALIAN HOSPITALITY

Welcome. We are Giacomo and Greta: devoted Italians, proud Umbrians, parents by a daily act of love. We stand as keepers of Torrecollevento, where hills breathe slowly, stone remembers names, and the ordinary miracle of family becomes a language anyone can learn.
This house was not built merely to be seen; it was built to be felt.
Our work is simple and stubborn: to offer an Italy that is not a postcard, but a living presence: warm, imperfect, beautiful, and true. For years we have tended to this villa the way one tends to a story worth telling again: preserving its grace, honoring its past, and opening its doors wide enough for others to enter without hesitation.
Here, you are not just guests passing through rooms. You are woven, briefly but sincerely, into a larger fabric of voices, meals, laughter, silences, and shared time.
At Torrecollevento, you do not simply stay. You are welcomed. You are counted. You belong.

ORVIETO, THE HIDDEN GEM OF ITALY

– Stanley Tucci, from “Searching for Italy”
The historic town of Orvieto is a favorite of Italians and International vacationers because of the lush green hills, Olive groves, grape vineyards, architecture and rich history. The history begins with the Etruscans who inhabited the area until around 300BC. It took the Romans two years to conquer Orvieto which is a natural fortress with it’s cliffs on all sides. There are many Etruscan and Roman artifacts still around today. A favorite of the Pope’s, Orvieto has been blessed with a Cathedral, a well and other structures gifted by popes. In the heart of Italy, the central location makes Orvieto a great base for day trips. Rome and Florence are each and hour and a half away. Sienna, Pisa, San Gimignano, Bolsena and Civita di Bagnoregio are all just short rides away. At Pietra Campana we are very proud of our history, city, and the hospitality and kindness of the people in the area.
