Ancient stone farmhouse from the late 1800s, Tenuta Il Riccio is one of those estates that retains the intact charm of the past. Spacious interiors, abundant character, and a magnificent outdoor park with a swimming pool to fully experience the magic of the Umbrian countryside.
Spacious interiors, a magnificent park, and abundant charm define Il Riccio Estate, located just a stone’s throw from Orvieto.

On the ground floor, it features an entrance hall, a kitchen, a study, two living areas, a grand dining room, two storage rooms, a bathroom, a hallway, and a utility room. From the dining room, you access the old cellar hand-carved into the tuff stone.
