Set up in 1988, the Monterano Nature Reserve protects one of the most representative and unspoilt areas of the "Tuscia Romana" between the Tolfa and Sabatini mountains (covered by another protected area).
Wooded hills, volcanic gorges with typical vegetation and rare ferns, meadows and pastures with their typical plants and animals, crossed by a river, the Mignone, designated as one of the Sites of Community Importance representing the natural heritage of the entire European Union as part of the Nature 2000 Network.
The protected area includes the remains of the fascinating "dead city" of Monterano, abandoned in the early nineteenth century, on a spur of tuff between Tolfa mountains and Lake Bracciano. Is no accident that the area has hosted the set for famous films set in the past, of Ben-Hur (1959) with Charlton Heston in the cricket Marquis (1981) with Alberto Sordi.
The "dead" city of Monterano with its stately mansion, aqueduct soaring on audacious arches, splendid lion fountain by Bernini, San Bonaventura monastery and other more humble dwellings often built on earlier Etruscan remains is not just of great historical and archaeological interest, but also highly evocative. Thanks to the Reserve, this extraordinarily rich cultural heritage is currently undergoing conservative restoration to combat the inexorable degradation of time.

"Property location was excellent and room was clean."

"Very clean Good customer service The property is old but most of the beds are absolutely terrible. Our backs were in so much pain. It’s hard to get to and Taxi drivers are not friendly at all. We had the hardest time getting from the train station to the hotel even though is only 7 minutes cab ride away. "

"This is such a cute boutique hotel in Tarquinia with lovely balcony rooms and AC. We stayed one day before and after our cruise. The shuttle was a bit expensive and the price changed when we departed which was 7days later but was convenient. The hotel staff were helpful and friendly. Wished there were more meat options for breakfast for non-pork eaters. Overall it was a great experience would recommended "

"If I could give a diamond price to this hotel, I would! After 14 days traveling through Italy, Greece, Switzerland, and then back to Rome for what I will describe our grand finale. This rustic and sophisticated piece is fantastic. We were driving from Milan, we got there by 9pm. The staff was attentive and did a super easy going and fast check-in. Quickly showed us where to park and guided us to their Restaurant. Food was great, even better service from Omar. I loved this place from Beginning to End. Gorgeous for a destination weeding or event. I will give a 100 stars. The hotel and the all staff were truly amazing. Thank you for the hospitality and service you provided me and my family. Definitely will go back!"
