Inside, the large, two-storey house is divided into three cosy apartments, all equipped to the highest standards. The central apartment on the ground floor welcomes you with an exceptional living room adorned with restored stone arches, wooden-beamed ceilings, and an ancient fireplace. On the first floor, the most exquisite apartment awaits, boasting an ancient stone fireplace, rustic wooden-beamed ceilings, and a splendid view of rolling hills, the shimmering swimming pool, and the Medieval Castles of Montelagello and Monte Vibiano. On this floor, you’ll also find the third apartment with comforts ideal for an intimate family retreat with a master bedroom and a kids' twin room. The entire home is characterised by traditional Italian furnishings and time-honoured pieces transporting you back in time with its rustic charm. The ground-floor kitchen is well equipped for all aspiring chefs, inviting you to whip up a home-cooked meal from ingredients harvested at the estate.
Surrounded by verdant greenery featuring towering trees, vineyards, fields and land used for the production of organic products such as fruit, vegetables and dried legumes, the estate is a true haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Lounge by the inviting swimming pool and soak up the sun’s rays on the terrace, or bring your meals outside to the covered pergola for an unforgettable experience.
Those looking to indulge in the splendid local cuisine while learning more about the region’s history should visit Perugia, a hilltop city known for its defensive walls around the historic centre, and the medieval Priori Palace exhibiting regional art from the 13th century onward. Venture further to nearby towns like Assisi, Terni and Spoleto, each offering a unique taste of history, culture, and natural beauty.
Organic Umbria is a wonderful country house situated in a landscape of breathtaking beauty, in central Italy’s Umbria region characterised by hilltop towns, dipping plains and lush forests framing the countryside.
Once you’ve explored all the beauty of the surrounding area, hop into the car and drive for 30 minutes to reach Perugia. In this vibrant city which is also the region’s capital, you can wander through its ancient streets adorned with Etruscan archways and Gothic palazzos. Families will also love visiting the Perugina Chocolate Factory for a sweet delight and savouring local pastries in charming cafés. On a sunny day, stroll through Piazza IV Novembre, home to a Gothic cathedral and Fontana Maggiore's mesmerising marble fountain where you can indulge in people-watching from one of the nearby cafés.
Just a short drive away, Assisi offers profound lessons in history and spirituality. Explore the unesco-listed Basilica of St. Francis, showcasing 13th-century frescoes and his stone sarcophagus before embarking on a hike through the scenic Mone Subasio park for breathtaking mountain views.
Known as the "City of Lovers," Terni beckons with its archaeological wonders, including a Roman amphitheatre and a Terni cathedral with a façade that has two mediaeval gates. Outside the city, discover the Parco Fluviale del Nera with the mesmerising Cascata delle Marmore waterfall and enchanting forest trails.
Wine connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike will love visiting Montepulciano, a Tuscan gem renowned for its exceptional grape varieties. With plenty of vineyards located in the surrounding countryside and bars in the city, you’ll be able to meander through its atmospheric streets, sip on the famous Vino Nobile, and admire Renaissance architecture.
