Description
Perched on a tuff spur in the heart of Tuscia, Civitella Cesi is a village rich in history and charm. Its origins reach back into the distant past, from the Bronze Age to the Etruscan civilization. Strolling through its narrow streets and admiring Castello Torlonia means taking a journey through the centuries. Here, the memory of ancient noble families is still intertwined with the authentic traditions of the rural world.
And it is precisely within this timeless setting that Engel & Völkers is delighted to offer for sale a charming townhouse extending from ground to sky.
Crossing the threshold, a beautiful wooden door opens onto a delightful, warm and welcoming living room, flooded with natural light and served by a convenient guest bathroom. Enhancing the room is an evocative stone fireplace, where watching the wood crackle while sipping a hot drink becomes a true daily ritual. On the left, a staircase leads to the kitchen: the perfect place to draw inspiration from tradition and try your hand at the culinary arts, among water, flour and the magic of bygone flavours.
Returning towards the living area, one enters a wonderful lounge, perfect for relaxing in complete comfort or entertaining friends. The lounge is completed by a splendid terrace overlooking the unspoilt greenery. Making this property even more unique, continuing along the interior passage, one discovers a grotto and a cellar carved into the stone, witnesses to its profound connection with the surrounding area.
From the main entrance, a convenient and functional wooden staircase leads to the sleeping area. Here there are two spacious double bedrooms, one of which has an elegant en-suite bathroom, offering breathtaking views of Castello Torlonia and the unspoilt countryside embracing the village.
Choosing this townhouse means acquiring a ready-to-live-in work of art, recently renovated with high-quality materials that enhance its historic character—from the ceilings with exposed beams to the stone fireplace. The spacious outdoor areas and panoramic terrace offer a private oasis of peace and tranquillity, ideal both as a main residence for those wishing to escape the chaos of the city, and as a romantic holiday home or a highly appealing investment in the heart of Tuscia.
A jewel where time seems to have stood still, ready to become the setting for your most beautiful moments.

Location: Civitella Cesi, Lazio
Civitella Cesi is a small and charming village in the Tuscia area of the Viterbo region, located in the municipality of Blera, in the Province of Viterbo. The village stands on a tuff hill about 180 metres above sea level, in a panoramic position overlooking the valley of the Mignone River. The surrounding area is characterized by woodlands, pastures and deep valleys, giving the landscape particular naturalistic interest.
The origins of the area are very ancient and date back to the Etruscan period. Near the village are important archaeological remains, including the ancient Etruscan settlement of San Giovenale and numerous necropolises, attesting to the presence of populations settled in the area many centuries before the medieval village was founded.
During the Middle Ages, the village was a small fortified centre and, over the centuries, came under the control of several Roman noble families. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the fief became part of the Torlonia family’s possessions, contributing to the repopulation and development of the village.
The name Civitella Cesi embodies the history of the village itself. The term Civitella derives from the Latin civitas and means “small city” or “small fortified settlement,” recalling the ancient function of the settlement as a compact and defended inhabited centre. The addition of Cesi refers to the noble Roman Cesi family, which held possessions and wielded influence in this territory.
