Description
La Casella is a 20-year old long experiment in hospitality. Our property is mirror held up to the environment and community it is born from.
Nothing has been added that does not already belong. Because nothing more was necessary.
The result, we like to believe, are experiences as immersive as they are authentic.
How to reach us
Located right in the center of Italy, halfway between Rome and Florence, at the border with Tuscany, on the main freeway A/1, at the Fabro exit. At the center of an historical, artistic and important territory.
6 kilometres of country road separate La Casella from the towns of Orvieto and Chiusi.
Activities
La Casella's ECO Projects:
A “dinner in the woods” is an event not to be missed that takes place during the summer season from June to September. Be it on Horse-back or on foot, the trekkers set off at sunset and arrive in the heart of the woods where a candle-lit table and roaring wood fire awaits. Bruschetta, Home made pasta, pecorino cheese, BBQ steaks and sausages are on the menu accompanied by Umbrian wine and completed with grappa and limoncello. The sound of the crickets and the hum of the fireflies are joined by a rousing guitar and after a good sing along its time to remount and head off back to La Casella, guided by moonlight. A Magical local and unique experience for all ages.
During the winter months at La Casella the main event is the “Caccia alla Volpe” or the “Fox Hunt”. But animal lovers can relax; there is no real fox involved. The simulated fox hunt has all the elements of a hunt, but with an expert rider in the role of “fox” with a tail attached to his jacket. The Riders gather at 10am for breakfast (and grappa!) in the piazza of the hotel and are reminded of the rules. The Master of the hunt, unmissable in his red jacket, has been doing the hunt for 20 years and knows all the routes for an exhilarating ride! After a short break for an aperitivo, always with the fox in sight, the grand chase at the end takes place in front of La Casella. The rider who is canny enough to grab the tail wins! This twist of experience makes a cultural event continue without harming the animals.

Io e la mia compagna abbiamo trascorso un week end da sogno; dimenticandoci dello stress cittadino tramite "l'immersione" totale in una oasi naturale dove il territorio dove l'autenticità del territorio e delle tradizioni sono ancora percettibili. Avevo in passato sentito parlare del termine Eco luxury senza aver mai compreso a che cosa si riferisse esattamente. A La Casella non l'ho solo compreso, ma vissuto. Maurizio e Stefania da Roma

Se esistessero parole per spiegare il senso di profonda gratitudine per quello che La Casella ci sà regalare con la sua dolcezza, simpatia, la cucina, la capacità di far dimenticare i problemi di ogni giorni e farci immergere in una atmosfera di serenità familiare, se esistessero parole per descrivere la bellezza e i profumi, i suoni di quel meraviglioso angolo di Umbria che va sotto il nome de “La Casella”…. ci piacerebbe usarle per dirvi semplicemente grazie di cuore e arrivederci a presto cari amici nostri.
