Vitorchiano is a medieval village in the Tuscia, heart of Etruscan territory, an area of central Italy bordering Tuscany, Umbria, and the greater area of Rome in Northern Lazio. Nestled in the low-lying Cimini hills, surrounded by beech forests, volcanic lakes, and hot springs, just a short drive from the sea, the Tuscia is one of most unspoiled natural environments in Italy. Renaissance villas and Etruscan ruins are scattered throughout the countryside. Many writers and artists have been fascinated by the spirit of this place, including Vernon Lee, Edith Wharton, D.H. Lawrence, PierPaolo Pasolini, M.C. Escher, and Salvator Dali.

Built of volcanic rock, the historic center of Vitorchiano overlooks the edge of a verdant canyon. Its towers, archways, cobbled streets, and sculpted balconies evoke a quiet atmosphere of times gone by.
Well-connected to Rome, Viterbo, and Orte, Vitorchiano enjoys an ideal location for exploring other areas of Italy.
