Umbria is a land of saints and mystics – a place where the spectacular beauty of the countryside (as well as its charming medieval towns) continues to inspire reverence amongst locals and tourists. And sitting peacefully upon its rolling hills, this 16th-century farmhouse opens its doors to the picture-perfect scenery of Italy’s ‘Green Heart’. Set amidst a sprawling country estate, consisting of two apartments alongside a cottage, the owners have crafted a home that strikes the perfect balance between tradition and contemporary luxury. From the scent of lavender and wildflowers to the majestic views across the castle of Antognolla, this is the perfect setting to slow down and savour life’s simple pleasures. So whether you’re taking a refreshing morning dip in the pool, enjoying a long soak in the jacuzzi or sipping a glass of local wine under the ancient trees, this is the kind of home that will captivate you with its unique charm. By day the activities are endless – hiking through the nature reserve, horse riding, guided tours, golfing and sightseeing in nearby Perugia (just a twenty-minute drive away) are all possible here. Your lovely host can also help arrange for catering or a private chef to prepare beautiful... Italian meals, while you simply sit back and watch the magic unfold.

About Perugia

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.
