Set in a privileged position, Tenuta Marchionato di Paternostro stands as a gem nestled within the rich landscape of the Tuscia region, just sixty minutes by car from Rome via the highway. It is a place where historical, artistic, and natural excellences converge, embracing a thousand-year heritage and breathtaking scenery.
In its surroundings, Viterbo, with its imposing medieval historic center, rises as the “City of the Popes”, renowned for its thermal waters and reachable in only twenty minutes via expressway. A short distance away lie the coastal shores of Tarquinia, while Monte Argentario, a paradise of elite tourism, majestically stands an hour away.
Covering approximately 13 hectares, this property is a living painting — a landscape steeped in the traditional cultivation of olives, recognized and celebrated with DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) status. The terrain stands out for its panoramic variety, offering a visual journey that ranges from hilltop peaks to gentle valleys. This experience is enhanced by the evocative presence of the Fosso di Paternostro, which crosses the estate from east to west, dividing the land into two distinct parts connected by scenic bridges that enchant both the eye and the spirit.
The northern section is a magnificent garden-park of about 16,700 sqm, enriched by two flourishing olive groves covering approximately 12,000 sqm, while three main buildings define the essence of this estate:
The majestic Casale Grande, a three-level farmhouse with a total area of about 410 sqm, fully restored except for the completion of the interior finishes;
Another building of about 120 sqm requiring renovation;
A third building, already fully renovated, of about 47 sqm.
Five caves carved into the tuff rock add a touch of mystery and charm. Two entrance gates on the northern boundary of the land welcome visitors.
The main entrance opens onto a winding path that follows the natural slope of the land, bordered by rows of olive trees, oleanders, holm oaks, myrtles, and feijoa. A large roundabout, a true green amphitheater, opens in front of the Casale Grande’s façade, embraced by concentric rows of trees that create an atmosphere of harmony and tranquility. The secondary, lower entrance leads to a straight avenue lined with plane trees and viburnum, guiding visitors to the buildings and caves, bordered by a row of linden trees along the stream.
Through bridges and roundabouts, the southern part of the estate reveals itself as a rural landscape of meadows and valleys extending to the vast Poggio Grande, offering views that fade into the horizon — and even reach the sea on clear days. Dirt paths cross the park and agricultural areas, allowing for a unique walking experience amid a variety of breathtaking vistas.
The Casale Grande, gracefully set on a tuff spur overlooking the valley of the Fosso di Paternostro, stands as the architectural heart of the property. Undergoing a meticulous restoration aimed at preserving its authenticity, it offers the opportunity to complete and customize the interior spaces, featuring a solid structure and high-quality finishes.
