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.

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.

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.

Never a Frown

This traditional Italian villa is perfect for a large family or groups of friends. It’s tucked away in the countryside outside of the small town of Agello, within easy driving reach of Perugia. The elegant villa sits amid pretty gardens of mature trees and boasts stunning panoramas of the rolling countryside and distant hills. Outside, there’s a private swimming pool and a curtained gazebo, ideal for spending time together. Inside, you’ll find antique furniture and paintings, with each bedroom offering its own unique charm. For an authentically Italian escape, this villa is a superb choice. 

Perugian Prince

Beach / Pool Towels

In the heart of the Umbrian countryside, this traditional stone-built villa is perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. The interiors are homely and inviting, but what really caught our eye was the outdoor space. Far-reaching views, a private pool, and plenty of places to relax with a drink or alfresco meal – what’s not to love? Locally, the hilltop town of Agello is well worth a visit – authentic eateries, bars and beautiful views of Lake Trasimeno await.

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.

Tucked away in vineyards and verdant pastures as far as the eye can see, this home promises tranquillity with breathtaking views to boot. You'll find it tucked away in Terranuova Bracciolini, surrounded by natural beauty and just a thirty-minute drive from Arezzo. Here, you're in a convenient spot for exploring Tuscany, with Siena and Florence both just shy of an hour's drive away.

We're completely infatuated with this home's rustic charm. It's set across two pastel-hued and ivy-clad villas, making it the perfect base for families and large groups. We especially love the majestic glass-walled recreation space, dressed to the nines for entertaining, with a banquet-style dining table, cosy lounge, ping pong and billiards table. 

Inside, it's a quaint canvas of terracotta tiled floors, shuttered windows and timber beamed ceilings, while contemporary comforts promise a want-for-nothing stay. After a restful slumber in the cosy sleeping quarters, spend mornings in the fully-equipped country kitchen, brewing espressos or tucking into breakfast on the veranda. 

Fringed by lush, landscaped grounds, including a home-grown vegetable garden that you're encouraged to forage, this home beckons you to relax in the splendour of your surroundings. Here, a saltwater infinity pool takes centre stage, a glistening oasis amidst the perfectly clipped emerald lawn. Spend your days poolside, soaking up the sun or relaxing beneath the shade of the rose garden nearby.

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.

This quintessentially Italian home is nestled in the countryside just 5 kilometres from the beautiful town of Cortona. Days here can be spent hiking, cycling and exploring the historic hilltop towns of Tuscany. There’s also a private pool, a bocce court and a terrace with a barbecue – perfect for magical sunset meals. Inside, the rooms are traditional and full of character with plenty of space across the two floors to spread out. One of the rooms has bunk beds – making this a great option for families travelling with children. 

The Lucia

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.

Cypress Hill

Heated Pool

Set within an expansive estate in Umbria, this villa was once a 13th-century water mill. Beautifully restored, it offers a range of impressive facilities that make for a relaxing retreat. From the underground Jacuzzi to the sauna and outdoor pool, you can enjoy private spa days here, making it the perfect choice for a romantic getaway. Close to a stream and surrounded by greenery, you’ll have plenty of peace and quiet here, while many of the area’s well-known towns like Perugia, Arezzo and Siena are within easy driving distance when you fancy a change of scene. 


Umbrian Bliss

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. 

Museum of Light

Garden Games

Wander through the gardens of this traditional Umbrian home and you’ll find yourself in a haven of natural tranquillity. 

From the wisteria-covered pergola and private pool to the multiple seating areas and perfectly positioned hammock, every detail has been considered to inspire total relaxation. So whether you’re enjoying a refreshing swim, staying cool in the shade or gathering for celebratory drinks and meals, every moment promises to be enriched by the natural beauty of this setting. 

Inside, you’ll find the interiors are elegant and simple – filled with a wonderful sense of tradition alongside a range of contemporary comforts. The living room provides the perfect spot for cosy movie nights by the fire, while the bedrooms set the tone for a rejuvenating night’s rest.   

For explorations beyond this private sanctuary, you’ll find beautiful hiking and riding trails through the surrounding countryside, while the majestic towns of Perugia, Orvieto and Assisi are all within driving distance. From sightseeing and wine tasting to strolling medieval cobbled streets and admiring spectacular views, this is the perfect setting for an adventure into Italy’s green heart.   

The Green Jewel 

Beach Essentials

Set amidst the verdant greenery of the Tuscan countryside, this elegant home invites you to experience the timeless charm of Italian living. 

And from the moment of arrival, the atmospheric presence of the villa feels inspiring. Formerly a church that belonged to an old noble property, the owners have sensitively restored this building into a home that shines with character and poetic beauty. 

From the traditional features to the art and objects, every detail brings a quality of joy to daily life. And whether you’re gazing at the garden views from the kitchen, sipping coffee on the terrace or soaking in the bathtub, it’s easy to settle in and feel at home here. 

Stepping outside, you’ll discover an idyllic sanctuary – a natural haven perfectly poised for refreshing morning swims, long lunches and sunset drinks. Take a short stroll and you’ll find the village of Pergo is just fifteen–minutes away – there’s a supermarket here for any basic amenities you might need. And for explorations further afield, the picturesque hilltop town of Cortona is just a ten–minute drive away. From here you can meander through the medieval streets, stop for gelato and savour the beauty of the Valdichiana valley. 

A Sweet Symphony 

Games Console

As far as villas go, you don't get much more 'hilltop' than this. Soak up the views across the Umbrian hills towards the city of Todi, a tableau so beautiful so you'll never want to leave. The scents of jasmine, lavender, and roses follow you down the stone steps to the infinity pool, which is surrounded by sun loungers and a shaded gazebo. The views take centre-stage in the villa, too – large windows surround the space, where you'll find a country-style kitchen with an island and a cosy living space with a corner sofa and fireplace. A marble staircase leads upstairs to the bedrooms, where you'll wake up each morning to similarly spectacular country vistas. Sip your coffee outside on the terrace, then spend the morning sunbathing on the perfectly manicured lawn. Take the 10-minute drive to Todi to wander the cobbled streets and explore local restaurants – you might recognise some of the plazas from Italian movies. Pick up some local wine to enjoy with a barbecue back at your villa, and savour a glass while admiring the stunning sunset over the surrounding hills.

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

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

Exercise Equipment

This luxurious villa is the perfect setting for a relaxing holiday in Tuscany. The home is set in a large park filled with plants and flowers, with a beautiful infinity pool at its centre. There’s a vegetable garden that you can choose produce from for your meals, perhaps prepared on the barbecue or in the wood-burning oven. When you want to take your vacation relaxation to the next level, head to the wellness centre to soak in the Jacuzzi and unwind in the sauna. This home in the heart of the Val di Chiana is a stunning choice for large groups. 

Golden Dahlia

Set amidst Umbria’s rolling hills and verdant woods, this home is a true escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Less than a five-minute drive from the medieval village of Monteleone d'Orvieto, it’s a relaxing retreat full of sensory romance. Breathe in the sweet-smelling flowers that frame the home’s grounds, look out onto the forested paths beyond the front gates and feel right at home within its pretty pink walls. Inside, contemporary and vintage furnishings combine with an elaborate hearth and cowhide rug in the first-floor living room, while downstairs, rustic charm abounds in the bright, white dining room. Exit through the French doors to reach the lush garden, where a jade green swimming pool invites swimming and sun-soaking aplenty. In the evening, the pool takes on a magical lantern-lit glow, perfect for sundown dips. Steal yourself away for an intimate drink under the stone portico, then sit down for an al fresco meal, courtesy of the barbecue. When it’s time for bed, canopied beds and a private suite under the home’s eaves will treat you to a dreamy night's sleep. 

The Cat's Meow

This elegant stone villa is nestled rather picturesquely amidst rolling hills and vineyards in the Tuscan countryside, approximately a thirty-minute drive from Arezzo. You’ll enjoy stunning scenery here, especially since you’ll have a large garden at your disposal. The swimming pool is an added perk – with no other buildings in the vicinity, you’ll have total privacy. The inside is all about the stone walls and traditional features, with plenty of room for a large family or a group of friends to make themselves at home. Note that a car is necessary in order to reach the nearest shop and explore the area.

Tuscany is a place that captivates the senses, and this home is no different. It feels traditional here, with original features and artistic touches that add warmth and character. It’s the kind of space where you’ll want to pause and savour the poetic atmosphere. 

Whether you’re sitting down to dinner, reading or having a siesta in the garden, it’s easy to feel at home here. Our highlights include waking up early to watch the sunrise across the Val di Chiana, taking a walk through the surrounding woodland and olive groves and visiting the medieval town of Montepulciano – only an eleven–minute drive away.

From thermal baths to wineries, this region is brimming with opportunities to connect with the natural beauty of Tuscany – and this home makes the perfect setting to share it with friends and family. 

The Rose Blush

There’s something truly unique about this home, lost in the midst of Umbria’s stunning countryside – first of all, it’s more than a home. The main building is a historic tower, which gives you the sense of staying in your own fairytale castle. With three additional buildings as part of the property, everyone in your party is sure to find their own private slice of tranquil paradise. 

Set in the middle of a lush, twelve-acre parkland and boasting sweeping views over the surrounding hills, this is one dream country escape – add to it the glistening swimming pool and the rooftop terrace with its unparalleled vistas and we think you’ll fall under the spell of this home just as we have. 

Inside, you’ll find all the rooms emanating exactly the kind of warmth and cosiness you’d expect from a rural Italian abode – from the warm fireplace in the main tower to all the snug bedrooms and charming nooks, there’s more than ample space for everyone to have a relaxing holiday. 
Organise delicious communal meals, with a choice of outdoor and indoor dining areas, and gather for evenings of drinks in the garden, just as the sun begins to set over the hills. 

When you’re ready to explore, you’ll find plenty of interesting sights to visit, including the nearby town of Spoleto, full of history and culture. 

My Enchanted Tower 

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.

Hills of Tranquillity

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.

The Olive Courtyard

Set out over three levels, with a different perspective over the stunning landscapes around every corner, this vast hilltop villa is guaranteed to impress. The interior is pure traditional Tuscany, with brick archways, exposed beams and terracotta flooring to ground you as you wander from room to room. 

Each of the individually decorated bedrooms brings its own charm, while the main bedroom – with direct patio access and stunning marble en-suite is set to dazzle even the most seasoned of travellers. The open-plan seating area and dining room form an integral heart of the home and would be the focus almost anywhere else. However, life in Tuscany is best lived outdoors, and you're blessed with a number of balconies, rooftop terraces, poolside patios and landscaped gardens (plus seating areas in each one) that ensure there's always a corner to claim as your own. We imagine you'll spend most of your days sprawled out by the pool, only interrupting your tanning time to grill some lunch and take part in sporadic table tennis tournaments.

The surrounding area is well worth exploring. In under ten minutes, you can reach the timeless medieval town of Cetona. Here, the scent of cypress trees fills the air as you explore the winding streets of one of Italy's most beautiful towns. Slightly further afield, you're also within an hour of Val d'Orcia, one of Tuscany's six world heritage sites and the subject of countless Renaissance paintings.

Maremma Amara

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

Jacuzzi

Flanked by Tuscany's postcard-perfect cypress trees and commanding magnificent views of the rolling hills and vineyards beyond, the setting for this farmhouse villa would be hard to beat. 

Spend lazy mornings exploring nearby Cortona, one of the oldest Etruscan towns in the region (a sixteen-minute drive). Or discover the little borghis (that's little villages to us) perched in the hillsides surrounding this home. 

When it's time to cool off from the Tuscan sun, head back home to while away an afternoon beside the pool, enclosed by vineyards and olive trees. Set within a fifteen-hectare farm estate, the owners produce an exceptional extra virgin olive oil and a mean Syrah and Sangiovese, which they'll happily invite you to sample in the wine cellar adjacent to the house. The perfect accompaniments for evening barbecues on the vast outdoor terrace, wouldn't you agree?

Group of friends or families sharing will love how spaced out this home feels, with a separate annex to sleep two – perfect for those wanting that little extra privacy. While upstairs in the main house, the cool, lofty bedrooms invite a blissful night's sleep in their comfortable beds. And you'll love waking up to those views of the Tuscan hills each morning. 

Little Borghis

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

Surrounded by vineyards and Umbria’s rolling hills, this countryside villa is a true balm for the hurried pace of city life. As you approach this home’s stone facade, framed by endless olive groves and fruit trees, you’ll instantly feel your muscles relax. Inside, rustic farmhouse charm abounds, with a white and green palette in the living room that feels like a natural extension of the beautiful outdoors. Feel instantly at home in the traditional kitchen and relish the views from the simple yet comfortable bedrooms, one of which opens up onto a private balcony with sweeping countryside views. Spend serene afternoons lounging by the pool and taking dips in its cooling waters, while away the hours playing ping pong or wander around the five-thousand square meters of garden you have at your disposal. Stroll along the vineyards, pick apples and figs to enjoy at your leisure and bask in the glow of this sun-baked haven. At sunset, gather for cocktails on the shaded porch before firing up the barbecue for a luxurious al fresco dinner. 

Acqua Della Vita

Whether you’re in search of a celebratory stay, an action-packed adventure or a relaxing retreat, this restored farmhouse welcomes you to experience it all in true Italian style.  

Located in the green heart of Umbria, just a short drive from the hilltop towns of Collazzone and Todi, every detail of this setting sings with charm and character. From the terracotta tones and rustic stone to the personal touches and contemporary comforts, the owners have styled each room to feel warm and welcoming. So whether you’re cooking with fresh local produce in the fully equipped kitchen, relaxing in the air-conditioned bedrooms or gazing at the views from the first-floor terrace, it’s easy to settle in and make this space your own. 

Outside, days can be spent strolling through olive groves, lounging by the pool, reading in the shade and sipping sunset drinks on the terrace. By night, the outdoor dining table transforms into the perfect setting for magical barbecue meals – filled with the warmth and tradition of Italian living. And for explorations further afield, it’s just a short drive to the village of Pantalla, while the close proximity to the towns of Perugia, Spello and Assisi will ensure your stay is filled with the historic charm of central Italy. 

Dolce Verde

Single-Level Home

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.





View From The Evening

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.
