Description:
La Tana dell'Istrice (The porcuspine's lair) originated in wine producer Sergio Mottura's decision to transform the original family home into a small and welcoming hotel, where you may enjoy the quit of a village surrounded by verdant fields and vineyards, as well as take advantage of many an opportunity to explore the neighbouring area. Guests may witness the production cycle of Mr. Mottura's firm and, above all, sample its products, particularly a wide selection of wines. The Hotel is situated in a manor house of medieval origin, restored in the sixteenth century, in the heart of Civitella d'Agliano, a small agricultural centre located between Orvieto and Viterbo. Civitella developed around the original medieval village, founded about 1026, of which the watch-tower and rock overlooking the central square just in front of the Hotel, are still extant. Wholly restructured, the house currently comprises seven comfortable double rooms and two suites, all included private bathroom, air conditioning and every facility designed to guarantee a pleasant stay. The restaurant of la Tana offers a traditional cuisine and may be used for functions and tastings, while overlooking the square of Civitella is the Osteria dell'Istrice (The Porcuspine's tavern), a wine bar where you may enjoy a relaxing drink in a pleasant atmosphere. In the summer period, moreover, guests may make use of Mr. Mottura's private swimming-pool situated amongst the vineyards, only about one kilometre away from the village. Beneath the house, picturesque cellars carved out of the local stone, and reaching about 20 metres down into the earth, provide an ideal environments for the production and conservation of Mottura's sparkling wine.
