    THE RECREATION OF PAST PLEASURES
Centuries ago it was the will of the sainted Cardinal Teodorico Ranieri that the tradition of "hospitalis" be available to all pilgrims who rested at il Palazone on their way to Rome. Today, we rigorously and carefully maintain the standards necessary to this ancient tradition as we welcome travellers in search of peace, pleasure, beauty and history. Gaze peacefully over our green vineyard on its furrowed hillside, let yourself be charmed by the antiquity of the tufo spur of Rocca Ripesena, and be awed by the majestic silence surrounding the huge outcrop on which is built the city of Orvieto. The food we offer will delight you with its aroma and variety and when you open your chosen bottle of our wine, its perfume, color and taste will persuade your senses that all this pleasure has restored to your body and soul a sense of oneness with nature.
