La Chiesuola is a family-run bed and breakfast set in the countryside near Viterbo, in Lazio, about 1.7 km from Villa Lante.
Surrounded by the greenery of the Tuscia area, the property offers rooms and suites furnished with a mix of antique furniture and more modern touches, spread across several floors and designed for families, couples and small groups: from the Triple Room to the spacious 60 sqm Junior Suite with views of Lake Vico, as well as quadruple rooms with a bathtub and pool views.

Shared facilities include a seasonal outdoor pool, garden, terrace and a children’s play area, plus an on-site restaurant serving an Italian buffet breakfast.

The rooms at La Chiesuola occupy several floors of the property and share a similar layout: private bathroom, flat-screen TV and furnishings that blend antique furniture with more contemporary touches. Room sizes range from 20 sqm for the double rooms and the Triple Room, to 30 sqm for the quadruple rooms, up to 60 sqm for the Junior Suite, the only accommodation arranged over two separate areas and with views of Lake Vico.
Many room types overlook the garden, pool or mountains, and several feature a bathtub, air conditioning or a private barbecue. The smaller double rooms focus on a terrace and patio, while the quadruple rooms offer larger solutions for families or small groups, with extra beds such as a sofa bed or single bed to accommodate up to four people.
South-facing, this quadruple room is the largest among the Comfort rooms and stands out for its minibar and views spanning the garden, pool and mountains. The décor blends antique furniture with modern touches, featuring a flat-screen TV and a bathtub.
Located on the top floor, the Premium room is designed for two guests and offers more privacy than the Comfort room, while sharing a bathtub and air conditioning. Period furnishings sit alongside a flat-screen TV and modern details.
More compact than the quadruple rooms, this top-floor room is designed for three guests thanks to the single bed paired with the large double bed. It retains the bathtub and the garden and mountain views typical of the property.
At 60 sqm, this is the largest accommodation at La Chiesuola, the only one arranged over two separate areas with a sleeping area and a living area featuring a sofa bed. Located on the top floor, it offers a privileged view of Lake Vico and has a balcony.
This top-floor quadruple room combines a French double bed with a large double bed, a different pairing from the other rooms in the same category. It keeps the property’s style with antique furniture and pool views.
The Classic room stands out from the other quadruple rooms for its interior seating area and full bathroom with bathtub, shower and bidet. Views of the pool and garden accompany the stay, with a barbecue available.
Designed for a couple with one child, this double room is the only one featuring both a terrace and a patio with garden views, as well as a pool view from the room. It is air-conditioned and simply and functionally furnished.
The Deluxe room shares the same size as the standard double room but is distinguished by its private outdoor dining area, ideal for two adults with a child. Pool views and air conditioning complete the amenities.
La Chiesuola offers a seasonal outdoor pool, a garden and a sun terrace, ideal for relaxing between visits to the Tuscia area. There’s also a picnic area with outdoor furniture and a barbecue, plus a children’s play area and the option of cooking classes and guided tours on local culture.

La Chiesuola is located in the countryside around Bagnaia, a historic hamlet of Viterbo, in a rural setting typical of the Tuscia area with olive groves, volcanic hills and scattered farmhouses. The property is surrounded by greenery, just steps from the small centre of Bagnaia and at a safe distance from the traffic of the provincial capital, in an area that couples particularly appreciate for its peace and scenery.
Villa Lante, a famous Renaissance garden with fountains and water features, is about 1.1 km away, while Bagnaia railway station is at the same distance, convenient for those arriving without a car; Viterbo Porta Romana station, on the other hand, is 3.3 km away. Viterbo’s historic centre, with the Rocca Albornoz and its medieval walls, is about 3.8 km away, as are the Bagnaccio Thermal Springs, free natural hot springs. For those arriving by air, Rome Fiumicino Airport is about 63 km away, and Ciampino Airport is 76 km away.
Nature lovers can reach Lake Vico in just a few minutes by car for a day out among trails and lake beaches, or venture as far as the Park of the Monsters of Bomarzo, about 11 km away, famous for its Renaissance sculptures carved into the rock. In summer, the property’s pool and cycling trips through the surrounding countryside are the most popular activities, while in autumn and winter the area is well suited to walks through the woods of the Tuscia and visits to the historic centres of Viterbo and Vitorchiano, the latter also known for its Moutan botanical centre.
