Villa La Rogaia is surrounded by nature, 4 km away from the nearest village, Castel Rigone. The last 2.5 km to our house are a gravel road. This might be unusual for some of our guests. However in comparison to driving on a motorway it is the safest part of your trip.

Nevertheless some might find it adventurous or even dangerous to drive on a gravel road.

The fact is that the last "accident" on our access road was at least 14 years ago when one of our guests had touched a negligently parked car on the side of the road.

One can easily drive on our access road with almost all cars, even with lowered cars when driving carefully.

However: If the idea of ​​driving a short distance on a gravel road through the Umbrian hills causes considerable discomfort to you or if the idea of encountering a car on a gravel road lets you panick, then La Rogaia is not the right place for you (like most countryhouses in Umbria and Tuscany). In this case, you should opt for a different destination.

What you should know:

For very long or wide mobile homes or vans and for motorcycles (except enduro or cross motorcycles) our access road is not suitable.
