Perched on a quiet hillside overlooking Lake Bolsena, Podere Fausto tells the story of a family and its land—where pastures once stretched as far as the eye could see and have since become olive groves and vineyards that breathe with the lake.
The apartments of Podere Fausto preserve the soul of an ancient rural dwelling, brought back to life through the care and passion of the Maggi family. Once, the fields of the property extended all the way to the lakeshore and were home to grazing cattle; today, those wide, open spaces overlooking Lake Bolsena are cultivated with olive trees, vineyards, and fruit trees, keeping alive the deep bond with the land.
Nestled in the hills of Gradoli, the farmhouse offers a privileged view of the lake: the beach can be reached in just a few minutes by car, while the peaceful countryside envelops everything around. Here, the charm of tradition blends with attention to detail and understated elegance.
In the two-room apartments and in the common room, the original stone walls, wooden beams, and vaulted ceilings come back to life—authentic traces of an agricultural past that harmonise with contemporary comfort. Each apartment carries a piece of this heritage: Il Granaio recalls the ancient grain store, Il Pascolo evokes the slow days of grazing, Il Ristoro brings back the moments of rural rest, and Il Meriggio reflects the calm of summer afternoons.
Each has been restored with respect and sensitivity, becoming an intimate and welcoming retreat where the slow rhythm of the countryside meets modern comfort.
The farmhouse is also powered by a photovoltaic system, a tangible sign of its commitment to sustainability and respect for the surrounding nature. In the common room “I Maggi,” the reception welcomes guests beneath a restored barrel vault, surrounded by shelves filled with the estate’s own olive oil and wine and by family photographs that tell a story spanning generations.
More than just a place to stay, Podere Fausto is an encounter with a living landscape: a space where dialogue with nature unfolds at the gentle pace of the countryside.
