About the area…Cilenia is located in Celleno, in the middle of the Viterbo countryside, an hour and a half from the airport in Rome.
The La Tuscia region was the stronghold of the ancient Etruscans, a powerful and wealthy ancient civilization that ruled much of northern and central Italy was eventually absorbed into the Roman Empire. The Etruscans had a profound influence on the ancient Romans and taught them their alphabet, their engineering skills and architectural style. The painted tombs of Tarquinia provide one of the greatest insights into this remarkable civilization though Etruscan heritage can be seen and felt throughout Tuscia to this day.
From the thermal baths of Viterbo and the hilltop town of the Civita di Bagnoregio to the Bomarzo Monster Park and Mannerist gardens of Villa Lante, there’s a lot to love about Tuscia.
