Escape to this farmhouse retreat set in an agricultural estate overlooking the Tiber Valley of the Perugia region. One of four apartments housed in the historic country home, there are vast communal gardens and a shared swimming pool to while away the days. But if you don’t fancy being sociable, there’s also a private alfresco sitting area back at the apartment. Surrounded by rolling green hills and oak forests, the home feels blissfully secluded, yet you’re in a prime location to explore both Tuscany and Umbria. Get off to a flying start in the riverside town of Umbertide, just 8 kilometres away.

Sitting atop a hill, streets stacked on top of each other are crowned at the tip with the jutting spire of Piazza IV Novembre with its ancient Cathedral.
