Castiglione in Teverina, above the Tiber valley near Orvieto

Castiglione in Teverina looks down on the Tiber valley, where Lazio meets Umbria. This is the Tuscia, the northern part of the province of Viterbo, and the nearest city is Orvieto, just across the regional border and a short drive away. Viterbo, the provincial capital, is further off. The village has a long tradition of wine and wine cellars.

The old centre sits on the hill, with houses in tuff (the local volcanic stone) and masonry; around it spread vineyards, olive groves and farmhouses. Buyers can choose between a village house, often needing renovation, and a farmhouse with land, perhaps also used as a holiday home. In the low ground towards the Tiber, check the official flood maps; on the slopes, the landslide maps. The report looks them up for the address.

Istat, the national statistics institute, counts 2,301 residents in 2023, down 3.5% since 2011. Foreign residents make up 14.9%, a high share for a small municipality, and the average age is 46.9, close to the provincial 47.5. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

The municipality is in seismic zone 2 on the Civil Protection Department scale, like 39 other municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.146 g. For tuff houses and stone farmhouses, have load-bearing walls, floors and roof checked and ask whether any strengthening has been done.

The climate is zone D. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps here, and the report reaches the plot from the address.
