Giove

Giove is a village in southern Umbria, in the province of Terni, overlooking the Tiber valley. Its name is said to derive from the Latin jugum, meaning yoke or mountain pass. The village is dominated by the Palazzo Ducale, once Palazzo Mattei, built on the remains of a 12th-century castle: in 1597 the fief passed from the Farnese family to the Mattei brothers, who turned it into a grand residence, famous for its numerous windows and for the spiral ramp that allowed carriages to reach the upper floors. Around the village stretch hills of olive groves, vineyards and woodland, crossed by white gravel roads and trails ideal for walking and cycling. Amelia, Orvieto and the other villages of the Teverina are quickly reached, and Rome is about an hour away by road. A perfect place for those looking for a farmhouse or a stone house in the Umbrian countryside, to live in or to rent out to tourists.
