Where are we

The Sanctuary of Joy is in Soriano nel Cimino, in the province of Viterbo, in the Lazio region, less than an hour north of Rome, in the “triangle” where Lazio, Umbria and Tuscany meet. It is just eight miles from the A1 autostrada motorway that travels between Milan, Florence and Rome. There is also a train station with trains to/from Rome and Viterbo.

The small town developed at the foot of the Orsini Castle (XIII century), located on top of a hill, overlooks the Tiber valley on a side, opening towards the Central Apennines, and on the other side it is mounted on the Mount Cimino. Its good position on top of a hill (509 metres above sea level), the mild climate, the healthy fresh air of the woods, its history, traditions, together with the exquisite hospitality and the natural beauty that surrounds it, make Soriano nel Cimino the ideal place where to spend a pleasant stay and a calm holiday all year round.
The Mount Cimino (1053 metres above sea level), with its centuries-old and shady chestnut trees, the wonderful and majestic Faggeta that surrounds it on the top is the ideal destination for those who love nature and tranquility. The history starts far away, as traces of settlements of various ages show: from prehistory, to the Etruscans and the Romans.
