About Castel Cellesi
Castel Cellesi is a frazione of Bagnoregio, in the Tuscia area where northern Lazio meets Umbria and Tuscany. The old core began as an enclosed square of farmhouses entered by an Upper Gate and a Lower Gate, with a larger rectangular square added later. The parish church of St Girolamo was commissioned in 1664, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, consecrated in 1704, drew pilgrims for nearly two centuries. The homes are mostly small, sleeping two to four, and nearly all have a garden. Many have a fireplace and about half a private pool. They are spread widely around the area rather than gathered in the hamlet, so check each address on the map. Out of season the hamlet is very quiet.

- Best for
- Couples and small groups after quiet farmland and Civita di Bagnoregio

When to go to Castel Cellesi
Homes here are mostly small, with gardens and fireplaces, so the place suits both summer evenings outdoors and a cooler stay by the fire. Most have air conditioning. Civita di Bagnoregio becomes livelier in the summer months, so expect more people on the footbridge then. The hamlet itself has little to close, but check opening times at the churches before an off-season visit.
