Your arrival at Casale Massucci
🕒 Check-in is from . Arriving earlier? Most hotels store luggage free — just ask at reception.
🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →Viterbo city centre (Piazza dei Caduti or Porta Romana) → Agriturismo Le Chiuse
💡 Taxi ranks are at Porta Romana and Piazza dei Caduti. After dark, call Taxi Viterbo (+39 0761 225671) — they'll send one in 10–15 minutes. The agriturismo is off Strada Bagni, near the thermal baths; drivers know it well.
Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport (FCO) or Ciampino Airport (CIA) → Agriturismo Le Chiuse, Strada Bagni 12, Viterbo
💡 Book a fixed-price transfer with a local company like NCC Viterbo (around €120–150 from FCO). Avoid flagging taxis at the airport without a set price — they often charge more.
Rome Termini bus station (via Marsala, opposite the train station) → Viterbo Porta Romana bus stop
💡 Get off at Porta Romana, then take a local bus (line A or 1) or a 15-minute taxi (€10) to the agriturismo. The bus itself doesn't stop near the hotel. Cotral tickets must be bought at tobacconists (tabacchi) before boarding — no cash on board.
Roma Termini or Roma Tiburtina → Viterbo Porta Romana railway station
💡 Trains run via Orte and stop at Viterbo Porta Romana, not Viterbo Porta Fiorentina. From Porta Romana, a taxi (€10) is the best bet to the agriturismo — local buses are sparse. Buy tickets at machines in the station; validate before boarding to avoid fines.

Top Attractions in Viterbo
💡 Sit at the cafe opposite for a cheap coffee; the morning sun lights the fountain perfectly for photos.
💡 Walk along Via San Pellegrino and duck into the tiny courtyard of the Church of Santa Maria Nuova. The profferli (corbelled stone houses) are best seen from the side streets.
💡 Come in the late afternoon when the sun hits the papal palace facade, and the square empties of tour groups.
💡 Book online at least a day ahead; the English tour runs only twice a day. It costs about €5, but you get a free map of Viterbo with the ticket.
💡 The audioguide costs an extra euro but explains the frescoes and the conclave story well. Skip the ticket if you just want the views from the main square.
