About Acquapendente
Acquapendente is a town in the north of Lazio, about 420 m up, and a stop on the old Via Francigena pilgrim route. The centre has the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre, a city museum and a flower museum, and the castle of Torre Alfina stands in the hamlet of the same name. Ceramics and terracotta are traditional crafts here. The homes are scattered across a few kilometres of countryside; every one has a private pool and nearly all a garden, most sleeping around six though some take far more. Monte Rufeno Natural Reserve lies about 2 km north of town. There is no sea or lake shore at the door, since Lake Bolsena is a separate trip.

Acquapendente villa holidays: questions answered
When is the Acquapendente flower festival?
The feast of Our Lady of the Flower falls on the third Sunday of May each year. Floral paintings are the centrepiece, tied to a local legend of a miracle that led the townspeople to rise against Barbarossa. Book a home early for that weekend.
Is Acquapendente near Lake Bolsena?
Yes. Lake Bolsena is within easy reach of Acquapendente, as are Orvieto and Siena. The town lies in the north of Lazio near the borders with Tuscany and Umbria, so it makes a base for all three regions.
How far is Acquapendente from Rome airport?
From Fiumicino the drive takes about two hours, roughly 95 miles. By train and bus via Orvieto or Viterbo the journey takes four and a half hours or more, so a hire car from the airport is the practical choice.
What is Acquapendente known for?
The Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre, which holds a stone said to be stained with blood from Christ's tomb, and its place on the Via Francigena. The name means hanging water, after small waterfalls on the Paglia river.
