Amidst rolling hills and sweeping vineyards, this stone villa promises a serene Umbrian getaway. With a seasonal swimming pool, outdoor fire pit and dappled terrace perfect for alfresco dining, you won't be short on spots to soak up the swoon-worthy scenery. Inside, the design is charming and cosy, bursting with traditional character. Some may consider it a little dated, but we think that's part of the appeal. Two guests will share a sofa bed on the mezzanine, though – since privacy is limited, we think it's best for kids. Location-wise, you're just a short drive from the small medieval town of Gualdo Cattaneo, while Todi, Perugia and Assisi are all excellent options for day trips.

This home is just majestic as its stunning countryside surroundings. It's ideally located in a peaceful spot, nestled among the rolling hills of Umbria, just a short drive from the fascinating medieval town of Bevagna. Surrounding the villa sits groves of olive trees and lush green vineyards, with Mount Subasio creating a heavenly backdrop to the idyllic countryside views. These are best enjoyed with a cocktail in hand while relaxing by the infinity pool, or while dining at sunset on the covered terrace. The interiors are just as elegant, with traditional touches together with modern luxuries, such as the private massage room.

There are few things better in life than an infinity pool, but an infinity pool with a gorgeous view is definitely among them. This home in the heart of Umbria treats paddlers to a verdant panorama of rolling countryside and distant hilltops.

It's a truly rustic scene and you'll be glad to hear that the home itself slots nicely into the landscape. Traditional in style, you'll find high-ceilinged rooms filled with elegant wooden furnishings, antique decorations and floor tiling so shiny you can almost see your reflection in it. However, it's more modern where it matters, particularly the super-sleek bathrooms and equally glossy kitchens.

If you pay a visit during the warmer months, you'll most likely want to spend as many hours out in the open air as possible and that's more than easy to do here. As well as the aforementioned pool, guests also have a large garden at their disposal, plus a barbecue and alfresco table for when dinnertime rolls around.

There are plenty of attractions in the local area, too. Bevagna is only a kilometre away and its quaint streets are lovely to wander before stopping for dinner and digestifs in one of the restaurants. You don't have to travel much further to find more Umbrian gems either, from Assisi 25 kilometres away to Perugia only 44 kilometres away.

Surrounded by olive groves and ancient woods, this traditional farmhouse welcomes you to an authentic stay in the heart of Tuscany. 

Located on Pomaio hill with sweeping views across the countryside, this is a wonderful setting to retreat into the heart of nature. And from the moment you arrive, you’ll want to savour the rustic simplicity and charm of this home – it’s the perfect place to connect with the timeless beauty of Italy. 

Families and friends will love gathering here – the communal spaces feel warm and intimate, inviting you to slow down and enjoy quality time together. And whether you’re drinking your morning coffee in the garden, swimming in the pool or cooking in the cosy kitchen, this is the kind of home that enriches daily living. 

Outside, follow the garden path out into the surrounding countryside for an inspiring stroll, or make the short drive into the majestic city of Arezzo – just ten–minutes away. Whether you’re admiring 15th century frescoes and abbeys, or olive trees and vineyards, this home is the perfect setting to celebrate the authentic taste of Tuscany.

The Italian countryside has a magnetic charm. Could it be the holy trinity of wine, food and verdant views? Definitely. Or the temperate Mediterranean climate? Certainly. But it’s also because it’s where you’ll find glorious holiday homes like this one. 

Set in the hills of San Casciano dei Bagni and Chiusi, this magnificent stone farmhouse straddles the border between two fairytale regions – Tuscany and Umbria. Explore both of their charming towns, cultures, and cuisines with ease from this central base. We recommend the neighbouring hillside towns of Cetona and San Casciano dei Bagni, but if you’d like to venture a bit further afield, the nearby railway station in Chiusi allows for breezy day trips to Cortona, Siena and Montepulciano. 

But for all that, you'll have more than enough to keep you busy with all this home has to offer. The well-selected modern furniture and fixtures blend beautifully with the terracotta floors, brick-vaulted ceilings, stone arches and fireplaces. The classical rustic interior transports you to the past, especially with the countryside views from nearly every room. 

And there’s a lot to see – sitting proudly on a five-hectare estate, the home looks out onto both cultivated land and woodland, a lush garden of flowers and cypress trees. Outside, the rolling landscape is best enjoyed by the shimmering stone pool or the romantic, shaded pergola. In the heat of the afternoon, read in the cool of the study before returning to the patio. Lounge until sunset, where the fiery colours linger longer, and are best enjoyed alongside a bold Tuscan red from the cellar.

Sitting within a medieval borgo (little village) whose heyday was the early 17th century, this villa complex embraces old-world Umbria. It’s pure peace and quiet out here between the endless olive groves (extra virgin olive oil is the region’s speciality) and rolling hills covered in a patchwork of fields. It’s five kilometres to Monte Castello di Vibio with its ancient theatre and fifteen kilometres to the pretty town of Todi for restaurants and supermarkets.

The yard, where wheat was once threshed by hand, is now home to a smattering of chairs and tables for tipples in the sunshine. The porticoed upper terrace is the perfect spot for breakfast, or big barbecue lunches, with views of the 22-hectare estate. But the crowning glory of the gardens has to be that Roman-style swimming pool with its panoramic view of the countryside.

Accommodation is split between three separate buildings set around the courtyard. Two annexes have their own kitchenettes, living rooms and dining area so the group can spread out. The main villa is home to myriad antique-filled lounges and living rooms, including a striking main lounge set around the ancient hearth. Low, wood-beamed ceilings and old agricultural tools on the walls give that rustic farmhouse feel. A little games room invites guests to sit down for a game of chess or to peruse the library of books in here. But the real bonus inside is the dedicated celebration room which is a vast, barn-like space which can be set up for dining, dancing or even a spot of yoga.

Florence and Pisa steal the limelight for Tuscan cities, yet Cortona is a hidden gem brimming with character. Authentically Italian and undoubtedly pretty, the sleepy streets and welcoming ambiance is the perfect immersion into the local lifestyle. For true convenience, you're expertly placed to explore every part of the town.

The town centre is just three minutes away, giving you instantly access to the charming cafes, restaurants and shops. Spend leisurely afternoons moseying around the quaint streets, finding chic clothing in the aisles and delicious food in the eating spots.

If you wanted to keep things private and intimate, your host can arrange a private chef to rustle up some top-notch dishes at home. When the weather is warm, you can enjoy each sumptuous bite on the cute outdoor table in the garden. 

Even if you're not eating, the garden is a dreamy spot to spend the evening. Pick up a bottle of wine from town and share a glass or two with the beautiful view as your background.

With white marble, dark stained woods, and rough-hewn stone, this villa feels like an extension of the Italian hillside rather than anything made by man. Overlooking the countryside of the quiet province of Pesaro and Urbino, this home is made for relaxation; float in the crystal waters of the pool, swing in the huge hammock on the deck while the kids entertain themselves in the little playhouse, and admire the panoramic views of the poplars, cypresses and oaks that surround the home. If you can rouse yourself to explore further, you’ll discover a whole host of delights within five minutes of your home. The country’s truffle capital, Acqualagna, is just a few minutes drive away, so you can dine on the delicacy at every meal, and a short stroll will bring you to your very own private beach on the shores of the Candigliano River – perfect for picnics, fishing expeditions, and swimming beneath the high Italian sun. 

Tartufo Bianco

Located in Cortona’s historic centre, this handsome apartment blends rustic charm with modern comforts to create a memorable, relaxing stay. 

Housed in a historic building, you’ll find plenty of traditional features here including exposed dark wood beams and terracotta floor tiles sitting alongside inviting contemporary furnishings to create the perfect mix of old meets new. 

Make yourself at home on the living room’s sofa – a good book and a coffee in hand – or retreat to the small private balcony for a sundowner after a day of exploring. The dining table beckons sociable soirées when you’re not out sampling the local trattorias, while the two bedrooms – with their beamed ceilings and rooftop views – are a treat to come back to after a day of sightseeing, or enjoying one of the many tours and cooking classes on offer through your host. 

Outside of your home, you’ll find Piazza della Repubblica a one-minute walk away, Porta Sant'Agostino a seven-minute stroll and the ​​Diocesan Museum three minutes away on foot.

Situated on the border of Tuscany and Umbria – two of Italy's most beloved regions – you'll find this beautiful villa. With plenty of space for a larger group, it's the ideal place to kick back and relax in the Italian sunshine, or to use as a base for your adventures in the surrounding countryside. 

With exposed stone walls, traditional shutters, and wooden ceiling beams, the house is bursting with traditional charm. You'll love selecting a book from the collection, and flopping down to enjoy a peaceful read. Or, you might like to head for the kitchen – whether you're planning a three-course feast or just serving some antipasti with wine, it has everything you need. Head outside and gather your fellow guests around the dining table before opening a bottle of Prosecco and making a toast to the good life. There's even a beautiful swimming pool where you can take a dip on hot days, or simply stretch out on a lounger. 

The medieval village of Fabro, with its 12th-century castle, is just a twelve-minute drive away, while Città Della Pieve is a little further. And, with close access to the motorway, you can easily drive to Orvieto, Terni, or even further afield to Florence and Rome for a day trip. Nature lovers will also be happy here – cycle, hike or horse-ride through the beautiful rolling landscapes, stopping off at the tiny hilltop villages along the way.

Once the residence of a local noble lineage, this renovated country home provides a tranquil base for families and large groups. You'll find it nestled in verdant hillslopes, boasting five acres of lush landscaped gardens and panoramic views of the medieval town of Valfabbrica. Here, the famous Sentiero di San Francesco hiking trail is practically on your doorstep, while the beautiful towns of Perugia and Assisi are less than a thirty-minute drive away.

At first glance, this home charms with its rustic stone facade. Inside, it's all exposed beam ceilings, terracotta tiled floors and traditional furnishings. We especially love the country kitchen, fully equipped for home cooking and seamlessly connected to the lounge and dining room through wide, sweeping archways. After a restful slumber in the spacious sleeping quarters, fire up the Moka pot and enjoy espressos on the patio. 

Outside, expansive gardens offer ample space for relaxing in the sun. Spend your days catnapping on a sun lounger or tucking into a picnic amidst the foliage. On balmy evenings, gather for alfresco feasts on the wood-fired oven and masonry barbecue before curling up in the cosy lounge by the warm glow of the fireplace.

Divine Reverie

When it comes to Tuscan idylls, this home ticks all the boxes. Set amongst Cortana’s rolling green hills, this renovated 19th century house is full of quiet corners and scenic spots waiting to welcome you into a world of rest and relaxation. Rural romance at its most beautiful, its stone exterior and wooden shutters give way to an intimate, rustic interior full of original features, exposed beams, brick archways and terracotta tiled floors. The soft mint-coloured bedrooms also have a feeling of elegant farmhouse simplicity with their wrought iron bed frames, floral accents and wood-framed windows. Here it’s the gardens, though, that are the most awe worthy. Stroll around the grounds and you’ll find a series of sunny spots and shaded nooks to while away the hours. Spend the afternoon taking dips in the pool’s cool waters then head to the viewing point at sunset to watch the sky turn amber and pink against the silhouetted hills. Enjoy a glass of wine here before fixing up a feast in the traditional kitchen, or head to the pergola for a barbecue under the stars.

Il Sogno

Pool / Snooker Table

Arriving at this Umbrian villa, you wouldn’t think it was a new build – it’s got all the character and charm of an old, Italian farmhouse with brick-lined, arched windows and a terracotta roof. It’s built with local stone and embraces organic architecture. Blending in with its bucolic surroundings, it looks out over the Oasi di Alviano nature reserve – home to protected Umbrian flora and fauna. It’s a short drive to Terni to explore ancient ruins and local cuisine in family-run restaurants and a traditional medieval hilltop town awaits at Todi nearby.

The first thing that catches the eye is the inviting, Roman-style swimming pool that looks out over the fauna-filled valley and patchwork fields to hazy hills in the distance. A loggia-style dining area houses a table for the group and a barbecue grill, all with that stunning view before you. Steal away to the olive grove and curl up in a hammock with a holiday read.

Inside, antique and vintage pieces throughout add to the old farmhouse feel of the home, alongside wooden ceilings and terracotta tiled floors. A huge double-sided fireplace sits between the dining and living room for cosy evenings in. The view from the arched window in here is simply sublime – framed like a picture on the exposed stone wall. Up on a mezzanine level, you’ll find a secluded little reading nook to hide away in.  

New Old World

Surrounded by olive groves and rolling Umbrian countryside, this rustic farmhouse retains its original character and charm. We loved the timber and exposed brickwork ceilings, Venetian plaster walls and traditional furnishings that make the place feel like home. Wake up to a light breakfast in the charming kitchen then spend your day lounging by the secluded pool or floating about in its cool water. 

Enjoy a quiet moment with a good book on the wisteria-covered pergola, surrounded by the scent of potted lavender, before heading out to explore. Stroll around the village of Panicale, right on your doorstep, or drive over to Perugia for a tour of the excavations under San Lorenzo cathedral, followed by a mosey around Porta Sole, the city’s creative quarter. When dusk falls, pick out a family-run restaurant for a selection of hearty local dishes. 

Wisteria & Lavender

Lift Access

Greeted by the trickle of a baroque fountain and filled with the contrast of Umbrian sunlight against dark marble floors, gilded bannisters and ming vases, stepping into this villa is like entering a Renaissance painting. It’s the kind of home where the baths, beds and even the billiard table come with claw feet. Sparkling chandeliers illuminate oil paintings in the grand lounge and candelabra light the basement taverna, where there’s a vintage jukebox, chintzy sofas, rows upon rows of aged spirits and a long bar to serve them at. The chrome and steel kitchen is restaurant-standard, with a built-in tiled barbecue sticking to the region’s rustic food tradition. Hire a private chef to make the most of the local produce, and dine in the formal dining room amidst the antique dressers and portraits, or enjoy alfresco, under the portico in the garden. The book-lined study with its gilded desk is ideal for catching up on a bit of work, and you can put up that barrier between work and play with a steamy sauna session to unwind. Outside, you’ll find a lap-sized swimming pool and cement tennis court, both with changing areas. Lawn games and a wooden treehouse should keep little ones entertained for hours. Should you wish to venture beyond the grounds of this palatial villa, the ancient village of Corciano is nearby and it’s a 10-minute drive to the shores of Lake Trasimeno.

Perched on the hills overlooking the Tiber valley, this home truly embodies the timeless beauty of Umbria. 

Surrounded by vineyards, trees and sculpted gardens, every detail of this unique villa sings with the natural abundance of its setting. And from the moment of arrival, you’ll want to pause and savour its majestic presence. 

From the inspiring views and traditional craftsmanship to the elegant simplicity of the styling, this is the kind of space that inspires an immediate sense of wellbeing. Set across two buildings, you’ll find the interiors provide a sanctuary – the perfect setting to relax, unwind and share beautiful candlelit dinners. And whether you’re enjoying quality time together or quiet moments alone, you’ll find this home transforms to suit the mood of the moment. 

Stepping outside, the garden welcomes you to bask in the idyllic beauty of this location. From quiet mornings on the terrace to refreshing swims, afternoon strolls and golden-hour drinks, there’s everything you could need to experience the beating heart of Italian living (including your own wine cellar).

When you’re inspired to explore beyond this sanctuary, you’ll find it’s just a short drive to the region's most beautiful medieval hill towns. Days can be sightseeing, hiking, and sampling delicious local cuisine whilst savouring the unique charm of this special landscape. 

Villa Serenity  

Sit out on the balcony of this home and enjoy the view over the Umbrian Valley. The lush, green countryside is echoed in the home’s 3.5-hectare garden, where you’ll find an olive grove with 700 trees, alongside manicured lawns and terracotta terraces nearer the home. Breathe in the scent of oleander flowers and fig, plum and fruit trees as you make your way to the pergola framed by trailing plants – the perfect spot for an alfresco lunch cooked on the traditional wood oven. You’re likely to spend much of your time laying back on the sunbeds or swimming in the pool, but in the evenings, the glass gazebo is the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of local wine. Inside, as well as the main kitchen and grand living space, you’ll find a separate kitchen, sitting room and two bedrooms on the lower floor, making this a great space for two families or groups of friends.The historic town of Foligno is just 5km away, with Perugia a 40-minute drive and Siena only a little further in the distance.

Abriana

Nestled among the beautiful woods and cultivated meadows of the Umbrian hills, you'll find this sprawling four-hectare estate. The stone façade of this imposing villa is surrounded by olive groves and cypress trees, providing a peaceful space for open-air privacy in the 1000sqm garden. Sit on the manicured lawn beside the blooms as you sip your morning coffee and admire the magnificent view, or dive into the glistening pool to begin your day with a swim (yes, there is a diving board). Inside, the villa exudes the typical charm of rural Umbrian homes, with its wooden-beamed ceilings, terracotta floors and large characteristic stone fireplace. The traditional patterned armchairs, colourful artwork and rustic furniture all add to the multi-layered design. You'll have plenty of room to entertain guests in the indoor and outdoor kitchen and dining spaces, but if you don't feel like cooking, ask your host to help you arrange a private chef. Or, if you want to explore the area's bars and restaurants, the ancient Italian town of Massa Martana is just a short drive away.

Casa Cicognola

Standing high and proud above sea level, this turreted fortress gazes down at the stunning, surrounding countryside. Planted neatly between the delights of Tuscany and Umbria and with Lake Trasimeno in the foreground, a medieval trail of monuments, spas, and villages await to be explored. The villa itself is like an ancient towerhouse, rising up between the trees. The 360-degree view from its highest point overlooks the vast grounds, so you can survey the lands like a king or queen. Kids can play Rapunzel in the tower, or run around on the lawn and splash in the pool. With so many sheltered seating spots, from terraces to balconies, there’s plenty of spots to escape with a good book and bask in the peace and quiet. A cute, consecrated chapel sits within the grounds, should you be visiting for nuptials, and the four-poster master bed with its velvet curtains is the stuff of honeymoon suite dreams. With pines, cypresses, vivid blooms, and even an orchard and vegetable garden, this home is suitably overflowing with flora to sit within the green heart of Italy. 

Flora Fortress

A trip to rustic Tuscany is always a good idea – and staying in this beautiful home seals the deal. This gorgeous pale stone house is tucked just outside of the small town of Palazzone in the Tuscan countryside. Far-reaching views of the lush countryside of Tuscany and Umbria make for a magnificent backdrop, complementing the centuries-old trees, olive groves, and meadows that surround the home. This is an idyll, where the scent of lavender carries on the breeze. 

The garden is a haven of tranquillity and natural beauty. Float in the swimming pool while you watch bees bob around the flowers, the hum of insects the only sound to disturb the peace. Spend hours at the alfresco dining table, turning languid lunches into lively dinners as the sun sinks in the sky and the wine is poured more freely. 

When the Tuscan sun is at its strongest, shelter in the traditional living room, beneath wooden beams. The villa is cool and calm, with enough room for everyone to enjoy their own space. 

You might like to drive out to explore the region, popping into Palazzone to eat pizza in the much-loved restaurant. The town is famous for its wine production, and is a far offshoot of the Chianti region – you can happily spend an afternoon or two visiting the local vineyards and sampling the wine. Your host’s family produces their own wine and olive oil – add some freshly baked bread and local cheese, and you have the makings of a perfect lunch.

Home Cinema Setup

Games Room

Hidden in the lush greenery of the Colfiorito plateau, this elegant villa lies in a small village between the Italian regions of Umbria and Marche. Fill that need for luxury and solitude, and surround yourself with the breathtaking vistas of the Italian countryside. Enjoy your own infinity pool, with plenty of space on the terrace and across the vast gardens for alfresco dining, and an outdoor shower for rinsing off after a plunge in the pool. With bedrooms sorted into five suites with their own bathrooms and living rooms – two with a double and single bedroom, and three with double bedrooms – everyone will have more than enough room to stretch their legs. There is even a cinema room with a projector and a basement playroom for children. Go for a game of ping pong under the lush canopies of the trees, or let the kids play in the gardens while you catch some rays on the row of sun loungers. The historic Art Nouveau style sets this villa apart, and its roots in the local area are apparent from the village chapel attached to the back of the home.

When it comes to exploring the local area, you're in for a treat – you'll already be immersed in the surrounding village, and you'll be just a short drive from the main shopping centre where you'll find some fantastic local restaurants and bars, as well as a supermarket for all the essentials you might need during your stay. A little further afield you'll be able to get on the highway and take a day trip to some of the culture-rich cities of the regions of Umbria and Marche.

Sun-Kissed Green Heart

Built as a farm at the end of the 19th century, this rural home has oodles of charm and Tuscan character. We're swooning over the original terracotta-vaulted ceilings, the exposed cork beams and the huge fireplace, which is the perfect spot to snuggle up with a cup of tea on wintery nights. Every room captures the essence of old-world Tuscany – warm, cosy and pastoral – but there are modern conveniences too, like rainfall showers and a ping-pong table in the garden.

Surrounded by a sea of olive trees and with vistas of the mountains, the garden is utterly enchanting. Start the morning off with an espresso on the outdoor sofa, cool off on sunny afternoons with a swim in the pool, then fire up the stone barbecue and dine under the wisteria-covered pergola on summer evenings. 

If you fancy exploring, there are plenty of places to discover. Just down the road is artsy Cortona, an Etruscan town with views across the Chiana Valley. Want to stretch your legs? Lace up your walking shoes and go for a hike through the hilly countryside – there are many scenic outlooks and trails within easy reach. Or really pick up the pace with a visit to Arezzo or Perugia, both about forty-five minutes by car and excellent spots for day trips. 

The Softest Crimson

This refurbished 18th century home is perfectly perched to explore both Tuscany and Umbria. The entrance hall, with roped-off antique chairs, gilded ceilings and busts on the balustraded balcony is like stepping into a museum. The theme continues in the bedrooms, which feel like they’ve each been lovingly curated to reflect the history of the home with frescoed ceilings, pastoral murals, huge antique beds and hand-painted dressers. Spend mornings here lounging by the aquamarine private pool, like a gem amidst the emerald lawns. The peaceful grounds are surrounded by old oak trees and vibrant local flora shades outdoor dining areas (there’s even a full outdoor kitchen in the open veranda), yet it’s just a short drive away from popular sights like the hilltop town of Cortona and Lake Trasimeno. In the afternoons, find a cosy reading nook – perhaps in the plant-filled library where the sun streams through stained glass windows, or in the splendid living room where vintage furnishings, chandeliers, lush carpets lend a luxurious touch. We love the details here – a standalone bathtub in one bedroom, a large vintage map of the world in another and a sauna and gym that somehow sit seamlessly against the panelled walls of yesteryear.

The views at this Umbrian home are truly spectacular. The villa stands in vast private grounds just a ten-minute drive from the hilltop town of Montone, looking out over the hills and valleys of the Umbrian countryside. It’s a secluded retreat, but still within easy access to all that Umbria has to offer. The villa is rustic, with a simple and comfortable decor – expect cotto floors, beamed ceilings and exposed original stonework, plus a few antiques. The gardens have been designed to make the most of the wraparound views, so you’ll find many a terrace and quiet corner to enjoy. We love the fig tree by the pool – time your visit right and you can pick sun-warmed fruit straight from the tree for breakfast. 

Drink in the Serenity

Tucked into the heart of the Umbrian countryside, this villa is just the ticket for those looking for a tranquil stay. While the traditional interiors may not be to everyone’s taste, the outdoor space will be a hit with all. Sun-drenched terraces, a swimming pool and a Jacuzzi – what’s not to love? It’s worth noting that neither the pool nor the Jacuzzi are heated – so, just the spot to cool off on hot summer days. Locally, you’ll find both Perugia and Todi a twenty-minute drive away, and well worth a visit for a taste of authentic Italy. 

Umbrian Charm

Jacuzzi

Located on an estate on the Santa Croce hill, this villa promises a serene stay for a family or group of friends. We love the contemporary interiors, and with each bedroom boasting its own en-suite, there will be no queue to get ready in the mornings. Outdoors, you can immerse yourself in nature while you swim in the private pool, sunbathe on the terrace or simply soak up the far-reaching views. Keen to explore the region? You’ll find a golf course nearby, or you can take a scenic drive to Perugia – full of history and cobbled alleyways, it’s well worth a visit. 

Hilltop Bliss

This charming holiday apartment lies in the heart of Cortona, ideal for a romantic getaway. The terrace boasts lovely views of the surrounding landscape, though the outdoor space is overlooked by nearby buildings, so it doesn't feel the most private. Your host can provide a free high chair here and little ones will love the garden, though the interior decor is quite traditional and won't be for everyone. You'll find public parking a short walk away, but Cortona's mouth-watering restaurants and picturesque churches are reached easily on foot, so you won't need a car.

This rustic Italian retreat looks out over a peaceful Umbrian valley, yet it’s only a short walk into the historic centre of Amelia for the local cheese shop, bars, bakeries and grocery shops. Covered outdoor lounges beneath rose-dappled pergolas and a summer kitchen embrace the bucolic life, while the modern swimming pool keeps things in the 21st century.  Inside, it feels like the old world in the open kitchen, living and dining room with a working stone hearth for chilly evenings. Each bedroom has a set of French windows opening up to the first-floor or ground-floor terraces and one bedroom has its own entrance from the garden.
