Il giardino di Elena is a bed and breakfast in Bagnoregio, in the province of Viterbo, just 1.8 km from Civita di Bagnoregio, the famous “dying town” perched on a tuff outcrop. The property offers rooms with private bathroom, courtesy set and hairdryer, designed for a practical, no-frills stay, ideal for couples or small groups visiting the area.
The common areas include a garden, a lounge with TV area, an outdoor dining area and an in-house restaurant, in addition to free WiFi available throughout the property. The homely atmosphere and attention to small details, from complimentary bathroom products to the outdoor dining area, make the stay relaxing even after a day of sightseeing among the villages of Tuscia.
The location is one of the most appreciated strengths: several restaurants are just a few steps away, while Lake Bolsena and Orvieto Cathedral can be reached in a short drive. A good choice for those looking for a quiet base to explore Civita di Bagnoregio and its surroundings without giving up good value for money.
Il giardino di Elena offers two room types, both with a private bathroom equipped with shower, bidet, hairdryer and complimentary bathroom products. Each room has a dining area, tiled flooring and access to a furnished outdoor dining area, a detail that sets this property apart from a simple urban B&B and invites guests to have breakfast or dinner outdoors when the weather allows.
The Double Room, 16 m², is designed for two people and also features a flat-screen TV, making it the larger and more complete of the two options. The Single Room, 14 m², is designed for a single guest and keeps the same essential amenities in a more compact space. Both rooms enjoy a view and share access to a shared kitchen with dishwasher, hob and toaster, convenient for those who wish to prepare something on their own during the stay.
