IL RICHIASTRO MEDIEVALE is a bed and breakfast in the historic centre of Viterbo, in Lazio, just a few dozen metres from the restaurants of the medieval quarter and about 900 metres from Rocca Albornoz.
The property offers four room types, all with air conditioning, private bathroom with courtesy set and hairdryer, flat-screen TV and views of the inner courtyard or the city. Accommodations range from the 14 sqm double room to the 21 sqm quadruple room with bunk bed, suitable for couples as well as small groups or families with children.
An Italian breakfast is served every morning, and guests can enjoy a moment of relaxation in the indoor common room. The location, in the San Pellegrino quarter, is among the most sought-after in the city: the Bagnaccio Hot Springs are about 550 metres away, and Villa Lante is about 6 km away. A convenient base for those who want to explore Viterbo on foot and venture into the Tuscia area, without giving up the tranquillity of a medieval-style stay.
The four rooms at IL RICHIASTRO MEDIEVALE share the same basic features: air conditioning, private bathroom with shower, bidet, hairdryer and courtesy set, wardrobe, heating and flat-screen TV. They differ, however, in size, capacity and view, so as to meet different needs, from couples visiting to groups of friends or families with children.
The Quadruple Room, the largest at 21 sqm, overlooks the inner courtyard and combines a bunk bed with a large double bed, designed for those travelling in larger groups. The Triple Room, with a sofa bed and a double bed, offers a city view instead. The two Double Rooms, both with a single large double bed and a city-facing view, differ by just a few square metres and in decor details, remaining the most suitable choice for couples.
