Tenuta Ponziani, a UNESCO MAB World Biosphere Reserve located on the slopes of Mount Peglia is a few kilometres away from Orvieto and other important cultural destinations in central Italy. A unique place where the charm of the Umbrian nature blends with the elegant and refined architectural style. It started off as an old manor house which has managed to keep some features intact, and has gone on to incorporate various parts and outdoor spaces that have been artfully designed so as to enhance the colours and geometries of nature and place the guest at the center of an unforgettable experience. There is the possibility of arranging private events, weddings and business meetings in its natural splendour and privacy. Its existence represents a sustainable model based on a balance between human kind and the environment, by respecting the historical, cultural and landscape identity of this land in the heart of Umbria. Tenuta Ponziani is the place to return to from time to time in order to fill your eyes and soul with beauty.
The estate, surrounded by luxuriant woods and rolling hills, is a fascinating location in the green heart of a lush land. The views are amazing but their beauty lies even in what is not possible to see. It is a suggestion, it is a light breeze, it is a thought that takes you far away. The visionary traveller, who prefers a refined holiday that awakens his senses and his desire for exploration, can start a journey from here towards a personal and deep knowledge of nature and art: just looking around from the top of a hill he will discover the most hidden mysteries of the whole
territory.
