The history of Italy is full of interesting anecdotes of local culture, it is as if each region, each valley, each small town were a world unto itself. And that's what makes the our country, unique in the world: the diversity and infinite variety of traditions and cultures.
Each of these small worlds in itself, contains stories of great interest worthy of being told. This is precisely the case with the Ancient village of Proceno, located in the heart of the Tuscia, in the province of Viterbo. This small village has Etruscan origins and over the centuries has actively participated in the complex history of central Italy, belonging first to the Marquisate of Tuscany, then to the State of the Church, then passing under the Municipality of Siena, to the Sforza family and finally from 1700 to the Cecchini family, still owner of the town's monumental castle.
It is right inside the castle that even today history continues, following a different path than in the past, the road ofwidespread hospitality. Among the ancient towers, the fort, the squares and the cellars are the apartments and the restaurant of this particular Albergo Diffuso which has three beautiful suites, seven different apartments and the "Il Giulione" farmhouse, located in the ancient hunting lodge. 12 km from Castle of Proceno.
Inside the Albergo Diffuso are included the restaurant and l 'wine shop where interesting cooking classes are also held, but above all the splendid gardens of the Castle. Not only nature all around, but also inside the magnificent Proceno estate to feel more and more protagonists of a fantastic medieval history.
Spending a holiday in the village of Proceno means entering that small part of local history, which helped to create the beauty of our country.
