February is a month that often goes unnoticed when thinking about a trip. And yet, for us at Podere di Marfisa, it’s one of the most interesting times of the year. The resort reopens on 14 February and the Viterbo Tuscia reveals a more intimate side, made of open landscapes, clear light and slow rhythms.
If you’re looking for things to do in February in Lazio, here you’ll find a balance between wine tastings, spa relaxation and seasonal cooking, without the crowds of high season.
February is the right month to experience wine unhurried
After the January break, we welcome guests back with our Terre di Marfisa wine tastings. In winter the experience changes: there’s no rush, there’s more time to tell stories, explain and discuss.
Guests visiting us can choose between the classic Tasting or the Tasting Experience, which includes a visit to the vineyard and cellar before the guided tasting. It’s a direct way to understand our work, from the soil to the glass.
February is ideal for this kind of experience because the atmosphere is intimate. The vine rows are bare, the landscape is essential, and everything becomes clearer. In this setting, the wine speaks more clearly.
A couple’s weekend in the Tuscia
Many choose February for a romantic weekend in Lazio, especially around 14 February. At Podere di Marfisa, though, we don’t put together artificial packages. Instead, we offer an authentic setting: rooms with countryside views, real silence, a spa reserved for guests and a kitchen that follows the seasons.
Our Spa Suite, with a private hot tub, is often the preferred choice for those wanting a more intimate stay. But the comfort rooms too allow you to experience it fully, especially when paired with dinner at Osteria Unicorno and a guided tasting.
February is the month when time seems to expand. It’s easier to be together, to talk, to pause.
Seasonal cooking: dishes that warm you up
At Osteria Unicorno the February menu is tied to the end of winter. We work with simple, local ingredients, with dishes that have structure and substance.
During this period you’ll find legume soups from the Alta Tuscia, first courses with seasonal vegetables, slow-cooked meats and homemade desserts. Our Terre di Marfisa wines accompany every dish, with pairings designed to enhance the ingredients without overpowering them.
Eating here in February means taking the time to sit at the table without pressure. The dining rooms are quiet, the service is attentive, the atmosphere is warm.
Spa and wellness in winter
One of the reasons to choose February is the wellness experience. Our spa area, with heated pool, sauna and Turkish bath, is especially popular during the colder months.
After a walk in the countryside or a visit to the villages of the Tuscia, coming back and treating yourself to an hour of relaxation changes how you experience the day. It’s not just an extra service: it becomes an integral part of the stay.
For those seeking more privacy, the Spa Suite lets you enjoy wellness right in your room.
What to do nearby in February
Podere di Marfisa is located in Farnese, in a strategic position between Lazio and Tuscany. In February you can explore the area without the crowds, with light that makes the landscape stand out more clearly.
Nearby, we recommend:
-
a visit to the Vulci Archaeological Park, with the small Pellicone lake and the Etruscan remains
-
a walk along Lake Bolsena, even just for lunch with a view of the water
-
a trip to the tuff-stone villages like Pitigliano and Sovana
-
a hike in the Selva del Lamone
These are simple experiences, but in winter they take on a different value.
Why choose the Tuscia in February
Those looking for things to do in February in Lazio often think of art cities or better-known destinations. The Tuscia, however, offers something different: space, silence, authenticity.
February is a month of transition. It’s no longer January, but not yet spring. It’s the right moment for those who want to start the year by giving themselves a real break, made of wine, food and nature.
At Podere di Marfisa, this break takes a precise form: guided tastings, seasonal cooking, a private spa and rooms immersed in the countryside.
