DEEPLY ROOTED in ITS

16th-CENTURY HISTORY

Pietra Campana evokes a dreamy, almost spiritual atmosphere unlike anything else. The original farm home began in the late 1500’s with parts of the villa added throughout the centuries, it is still a working farm today. Orvieto is drenched in Etruscan history and Pietra Campana as well, having a tomb on property and a sarcophagus in the Etruscan Museum. Pietra Campana is blessed to have all you could hope for from serene nature and caves to pool and party all with uncomparable views and Italian hospitality.

“ORVIETO, THE HIDDEN GEM OF ITALY”

  • Stanley Tucci, Searching for Italy: Season 2, Episode 3

The historic town of Orvieto is a favorite of Italians and International vacationers because of the lush green hills, Olive groves, grape vineyards, architecture and rich history. The history begins with the Etruscans who inhabited the area until around 300BC. It took the Romans two years to conquer Orvieto which is a natural fortress with it’s cliffs on all sides. There are many Etruscan and Roman artifacts still around today. A favorite of the Pope’s, Orvieto has been blessed with a Cathedral, a well and other structures gifted by popes. In the heart of Italy, the central location makes Orvieto a great base for day trips. Rome and Florence are each and hour and a half away. Sienna, Pisa, San Gimignano, Bolsena and Civita di Bagnoregio are all just short rides away. At Pietra Campana we are very proud of our history, city, and the hospitality and kindness of the people in the area.

FAMILY-OWNED & OPERATED BY THE DI CESARE’S

Pietra Campana is owned by the Di Cesare family who are Italian by heritage but raised their children in the United States. The family traveled back to Italy in 2021 for their daughter to get married in Orvieto and have now become part of Orvieto’s local family. The property is managed by the DiCesare family and in partnership with Greta Flamini and Giacomo Foglieri, who are a local Italian couple whom the Di Cesare’s consider family, along with their four children. We operate our property in partnership with our sister villa down the street, Torre Collevento.
