The small village of Roccalvecce has an enchanting location between fields, forests and rock faces. From far away you can see the dominant castle of Costaguti. The Marquis Giovangiorgio Afan de Rivera lives there, a young man in his thirties who now runs a B&B there. The village is originally Etruscan. A fortified castle was built there in the Middle Ages, which later came into the hands of various important families: Monaldeschi, Gatti, Colonna, Chigi. From the 17th century onwards, the Costaguti family became the owner. This family originally came from Genoa, and still owns the castle. Next to the castle there is a church that used to be the property of the castle, but has now been transferred to the curia.
Outside the castle, the village is deserted. Many houses are no longer inhabited or are for sale. There are no shops anymore, only a post office that is only open half a day a week. Nevertheless, the village has many assets. The location is very central between Viterbo and Orvieto, from the village you have beautiful panoramic views.
