In a quiet neighborhood near the center of Lubriano, a small town just 10 km from Orvieto, overlooking the famous village of Civita di Bagnoregio and the mountainous Valle dei Calanchi, we find Casa Civita. This beautiful three-story villa is characterized by its extremely functional layout with spacious rooms and an open floor plan. The villa is surrounded by a well maintained garden that is completely fenced in, and further enhanced with a wood-burning oven measuring approximately 7 square meters.
Just a short distance from the magical Valle dei Calanchi and the famous Borgo di Civita di Bagnoregio, in a prestigious residential setting is Casa Civita, a villa built from the ground up in the early 1990’s using high quality materials including tuff and basalt, typical of the area between Orvieto and Lake Bolsena. Casa Civita has a total usable area of approximately 600 commercial square meters on three levels. The basement houses a large garage with the primary warehouse and cellar. Next to it is a large tavern, connected to the living area via an internal staircase, which is equipped with a kitchen, fireplace and corner bar. On the basement side, you will find the service bathroom and a large anteroom. Looking out from the basement, there is a thermo electric boiler and a functional wood oven. The main living space is entirely on the ground floor and is composed of the main entrance, which connects the living space with the bedrooms, the eat-in kitchen and a large, luminous living room complete with French doors and a fireplace. The entrance leads through a glass door and a large corridor, to three bedrooms and two bathrooms. From the main living space, a staircase leads to a large attic on the next floor of approximately 90 square meters. The attic is completely floored-in, and contains a bathroom and a panoramic balcony (approximately 9 square meters) overlooking the valley. The garden surrounds three sides of the property and is completely contained by a wall and iron railing that mark the boundary of the property together with two gates, one for pedestrians and one for vehicles to access the basement via a paved ramp. The outdoor area is composed of a walkway in correspondence with a cavity that runs around the house, two porches with basalt columns and, in the back of the property, a paved square with a wooden pergola.
State of repair
Built from the ground up in the early 1990’s with facades made up of exposed tuff and plaster. The outside porches in correspondence with the kitchen and living room, are supported by columns of basaltina lavastone typical of Bagnoregio. The floors are composed of clinker brick, wood parquet and majolica (a glazed earthenware). The windows are constructed of wood with double glazing. The main doors are armored. The maintenance of the building and the garden is carried out regularly. A cavity wall has been created around the house to ensure maximum thermal insulation.
Utilities
The property’s systems, built at the time of construction, are fully functional. In 2009, a new natural gas-fired condensing boiler was installed. In addition to the main heating system there are two working fireplaces. Casa Civita is equipped with a TV system, internet coverage and is wired for telephone use. Water is disposed of through the public sewer system. The water supply is guaranteed by connection with the municipal aqueduct.
Use and Potential Uses
Casa Civita is the ideal home for a family, given its comfortable and large living spaces and its proximity to Orvieto and Bagnoregio. Its the perfect place for relaxing and unwinding as well as discovering the local countryside, including Umbria, Lazio and Tuscany. Given its proximity to some popular tourist resorts, it could also be a good investment for a holiday home.
