The Aquaduct house is perhaps our favorite of all the many homes we have stayed in in our travels. This was our third visit to the house with our family, and it won’t be our last if we can help it. When we travel with family, we love to buy local products and cook for ourselves. The aqueduct house makes this a memorable in itself as it boasts a fullly outfitted kitchen and a choice of big beautiful eating spots. Also, the house itself is an integral part of the little hilltop town of Orte, where you can find anything you want for a beautiful Italian meal. In fact, a large large part of the pleasure of being in Orte is visiting the many small, family-run shops selling fresh pasta, local produce, beautiful cheeses, great poultry and meats, etc. And the house itself: not many places offer the opportunity to stay in a 16th century dwelling that is at the same time completely up-to-date and charming in every way. Finally, in addition to everything else, Anna and Allessandra go the extra mile to make sure that their guests have everything they need … and more. Just this morning, my daughter discovered that the taxi driver, who was supposed to pick up her and her 3 children to go to the train station, was sick and couldn’t come. Allessandra came and made two trips to get them and their luggage to the train station on time. In short, I couldn’t recommend the Aquaduct House more strongly!
