Carma Grande
The simple sophistication of Carma Grande puts nature first, offering an elegant stay for friends and family in a beyond-exceptional setting
Carma Grande is part of an award-winning organic olive estate in a ravishingly beautiful setting with close-up views of the magnificent Cività di Bagnoregio and the surrounding limestone canyons, far from any light or noise pollution.
Carma Grande includes a main villa for six, and a two-suite guest house with a gym and spa. A few steps away from the main Villa is the estate's tasting room and a professional kitchen where cooking classes take place. There's an outdoor terrace attached, where breakfast is served which is included in the booking, as well as a dinner during your stay, plus any further meals cooked by the private chef.
There's a beautiful saltwater pool set away from the buildings on a lower terrace with exquisite views across the limestone-canyon valley.
The owner's background in one of Italy's most prominent heritage brands is reflected in the crisp interior design that has been kept refreshingly simple so as not to distract from the beauty outside. Natural materials, textures and colours are set against white walls, while huge picture windows are judiciously positioned to capture the mesmerising views.
A small part of the owners’ highly impressive modern art collection is on display in the properties, and includes works by Alberto Burri. Much of it is on the theme of nature while several pieces are a result of artists' residencies at Carma.
The interiors have been so perfectly executed that guests are able to relax as soon as they arrive, worrying about nothing more than absorbing the enormity of the setting.
