Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

Dating back 300 years, this traditional farmhouse is located in Italy’s peaceful Umbria region. Offering beautiful country views, you’ll find plenty of sunny spots from which to soak up the scenery, some of our favourites being the infinity pool and Jacuzzi. If you’re worried about keeping the kids entertained, the private playground is bound to impress (there are even peacocks and hens living in the garden if they’re animal lovers). Inside you’ll find plenty of cosy touches blended with little luxuries, so expect grand open fireplaces, exposed brick archways and Jacuzzi baths. If you need to get on top of some work or simply want to enjoy some quiet time with a book, head to the library.

    The twin beds here can be pushed together to form king-size beds if required.

    The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.

    The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
