BioAgri Resort Podere La Branda in Vetralla.

Podere La Branda is a restored Tuscan farmstead dating to the 18th century, originally operating as an agricultural estate before its careful conversion into a contemporary hospitality venue.

Located in Vetralla near Lake Bolsena, the property preserves its historical stone structures while integrating modern amenities for wedding celebrations.

The 40-hectare grounds maintain working vineyards and olive groves, connecting guests directly to the region's agricultural heritage.

My family and I, plus a couple of friends and their child, have been at the “Podere la Branda” for the Easter weekend. Overall the place was nice, but the accommodations were below the expectations because of their cheap furniture and poor style. Here’s the experience in short: Atmosphere & Place 6 ½: At the Podere la Branda you can spend a weekend in the countryside and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The location is easy to reach from the motorway and well connected with the area's towns. Menu 6 ½: The Podere la Branda offers a good range of options. The fixed menu for Easter Sunday was acceptable, even if the dessert was completely frozen and not editable. The staff was amicable and quickly provided a second option. We highly appreciated it. In the evening, everything changed. It looked like another place! Maybe because we were the only guests at the restaurant, and we had a five-star experience. Food for the kids was yummy. The faraona was a dream and the plate of cold cuts and cheese was glorious. Unforgettable! Service 7 ½: As usual, interacting with the staff was the added value to our experience. All of them were very nice and highly professional. Especially the lady that served us on Sunday evening. You folks rock! Bill 5 ½: Overall, the price is expensive compared to other locations we explored in the area. The local wine we had was costly. As I said, the Podere la Branda doesn’t match the expectation of a well-curated place.
