Carma R. Elais

The simple sophistication of Carma R. Elais puts nature first and offers an elegant stay for eight friends and family in a beyond-exceptional setting

Carma R. Elais 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.

The carbon-neutral estate includes a main villa with three suites, and a separate suite set 50m away from the villa above the estate's tasting room and the professional kitchen where cooking classes take place. There's an outdoor terrace attached, where breakfast is served as well as any meals cooked by the private chef. In fact, all breakfasts are included in your booking, as well as a dinner during your stay.

The beautiful saltwater pool is below the buildings on a 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. As such, the property’s main attraction is its bed and breakfast service, inviting guests to slow down and switch off in the company of friends and family.

Carma R. Elais is named after Elais, the greek goddess of olive oil. The estate's own oil is organically produced and has won numerous international awards. Fêted by chefs, it is also the oil of choice for lots of Italy's most prestigious restaurants.

Rooms description

Bedrooms

The main house has three spacious double en-suite bedrooms, two on the first floor and one on the second floor. Individually decorated using natural materials, they offer a serene atmosphere with contemporary artworks adding individuality and shine.
There is a further one-bedroom apartment in a separate building, above the tasting room with living room and a professional kitchen.

Bathrooms

The en-suite bathrooms have large walk-in showers, stone basins and luxury shower products.

Kitchen

On the ground floor of the main villa there is a big living room, a modern, expertly equipped kitchen, and a light-filled dining room seats eight at a long wooden table that gives the impression of lightly floating. The windows function as picture frames onto the staggering views and the walls are hung with contemporary artwork. The suite above the tasting room has a living area and a small kitchen.

Living rooms

There is air-conditioning throughout each property and there are lots of place to sit and lounge on design-led chairs and sofas that are large and comfy. Guests have plenty of space outside, too, to relax and dine and enjoy the panoramic views from the buildings' terraces.

Set 50m from the main house, the air-conditioned suite has a spacious living room with a large comfortable sofa and armchair, and a fully equipped kitchenette with a breakfast bar dining table.

Outside

Carma R.Elais is surrounded by olive groves and orchards that include plum, nut, apple, lemon and pomegranate trees, and guests are welcome to help themselves to fruit in season. Both properties are for one party's exclusive use and each has its own terrace as well as space for parking. Carma E.Relais is perfect for those wishing to switch off and relax. The estate is a tiny, authentic eco-system run on organic lines. The saltwater pool (13m x 5m and 1.4m deep) is lined in Roman travertine and, set in the olive groves below the house, overlooks the other side of the valley. A private footpath leads up to the foot bridge across to Cività di Bagnoregio.

Notes

The Carma estate can be booked for 10-12 guests under Carma Grande, which includes an additional two-suite guest house. Dogs are welcome and staff can even prepare a dog bed. There is one small dog who lives on the estate – he is lovely to everyone and good with other dogs. Please note that this is a working olive oil estate producing the oil of choice for lots of Italy's most prestigious restaurants. This means that during the week there will be staff walking through the olive groves. They are discreet and will not disturb guests.

Surroundings

Cività di Bagnoregio – a medieval town perched high on a rock is just a short walk from the estate. As the name suggests, this was where kings would come to bathe in ancient times. It is hard for any description to do real justice to the extraordinary beauty of the town and its surroundings. Guests have access to a private footpath from the house to the bridge and can visit early in the morning or late in the evening, before or after the day-trippers, and marvel at the Etruscan gateway and the 7th century San Donato church in the main piazza. Go in the evening and you will be treated to aperitivi and dinner away from the hordes giving you time and space to take in the exquisite views. The property overlooks the Valle dei Calanchi in the other direction, the limestone canyons of this spectacular landscape. For those looking for a non-pool swim, Lago di Bolsena is 20km away or the smaller Lago Vivo is a very pretty, short drive away. The Tyrrhenian Sea takes just over an hour to reach, where you can visit Tarquinia’s Etruscan necropolis or the more fancy Porto Santo Stefano. Orvieto, famed for one of the most beautiful church façades in Italy, and Viterbo are close by and have the most extensive 13th century papal palaces to have survived, while the wonders of Rome and Florence are less than two hours away.
