The Property — Oasi di Pace
Oasi di Pace is a no-frills 3-star set back from Viterbo’s traffic, with a small pool and a courtyard that actually feels peaceful. The lobby is tiled, a bit dated, but clean—staff are efficient and speak decent English. It’s fine for a stopover on the way to Rome or as a base for the Terme dei Papi, but don’t expect charm.
Chronicles of Viterbo
Viterbo grew around an Etruscan settlement, then became a medieval papal refuge; the 13th-century Papal Palace hosted conclaves that dragged on for years. Its walled centre is one of Italy’s best-preserved—narrow alleys, tower houses and the Piazza del Plebiscito. Today it’s a quiet provincial capital, famous for thermal baths and the Macchina di Santa Rosa festival.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Oasi di Pace, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on the first or second floor at the front of the building – these have the best natural light and slightly higher vantage over the street, but still within easy reach of the stairs if the lift is slow.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms at the rear overlooking the internal courtyard or service area – they can get noise from kitchen prep and deliveries in early morning. Also avoid any room directly next to the lift shaft on any floor, as the lift motor hums.
Best views
Front-facing rooms on first or second floor – you overlook the old street with typical Viterbo stone buildings and a slice of sky, not grand but characterful. Rear views are of the courtyard and washing lines.
Quietest floors
First and second floors – elevated enough to avoid street-level clatter, but not high enough for wind noise or lift mechanism vibration from the roof.
🔊 Noise notes
Viterbo's old-town streets can have early-morning delivery vans, motorbikes, and church bells. The hotel's address in the historic centre means narrow lanes amplify sound. Also check if the hotel has a bar or restaurant on site – that'll add chatter and clatter until late.
Insider tips
1. If you're driving, ask reception about free or discounted parking at the nearby public lot – many hotels in Viterbo have a deal with the car park, saving you €10-15 a night. 2. Request a room with a balcony or window that opens onto the street rather than the courtyard – the street-facing rooms are brighter and have better airflow, even if a little noisier.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Your arrival at Oasi di Pace
🕒 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.
