Il Cavatappi In Tarquinia

23/08/2025: We found it by chance while exiting the highway for a refreshing break. A truly pleasant place, with a beautiful view and excellent cuisine, so much so that it even received a Michelin star. Impeccable welcome and utmost courtesy. A wonderful experience, which made us regret just passing through. It would have been wonderful to stay overnight and enjoy a bit of relaxation by that lovely pool!

08/08/2025: We chose the Locanda della Chiocciola as a stopover during a trip through Italy and wanted to visit the town of Orte. The inn is located a few kilometers from the center in a very beautiful rural area within an oak grove. The building is very well restored, as is the surrounding park. Our room was a proper triple (a rather rare occurrence) and was very well finished and comfortable. The bathroom was spacious, comfortable, and very clean. Overall, the level of cleanliness in the room was extremely good. The property has a beautiful pool and a wellness center available upon reservation. A couple of things we weren't entirely satisfied with. First, the mattresses, which were really very firm. We struggled. A topper would have been enough. The second thing concerns the breakfast, which is served to order from a menu. The products are all really good, but I definitely prefer a buffet where I can choose the dishes I want, perhaps even ordering coffee and cappuccino from the staff. Lastly, unfortunately, the property faces directly onto the A1 highway and, more importantly, the high-speed rail line. Unfortunately, the noise from the highway and the railway can be quite loud at times. This isn't a problem with the building, but it's something to consider. In any case, the windows and doors are very well soundproofed, so the rooms are very quiet.
