Set against the beautiful backdrop of Mount Tezio, this enchanting villa invites you to stay on a country estate in Umbria – a quiet region of historic heritage and olive oil cultivation. A scenic twenty-minute drive away lies the cultural city of Perugia, which hosts operas and a July jazz festival. What's more, golfers will be glad to know that an eighteen-hole course is only a three-minute stroll along a private path. From the moment you arrive at this hilltop home, you'll want to run barefoot across the lawn and jump straight into the refreshing pool. How about greeting each day in the kitchen and looking out over flowerbeds as you prepare breakfast? Perhaps you'll pamper your loved ones by hiring a butler to bring you Italian refreshments, or maybe a relaxing massage would do the trick instead. Imagine dining alfresco under the pretty pergola before partaking in a wine-tasting experience at sunset. From cooking lessons to yoga sessions, this rural retreat offers activities in abundance, so there's something for everyone to enjoy.

About Perugia
In the heart of picturesque Umbria, the walled city of Perugia radiates history down every winding cobbled alleyway. 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.
