TENUTA SANTA BARBARA IN CAPRANICA (VT) is a unique place: it stands on a tuffaceous spur surrounded by chestnut and oak forests and dominates the valley adjacent to the archaeological park of Sutri.
The natural landscape of this ancient region of Tuscia has been preserved intact, and this makes Santa Barbara a particularly attractive location.
