L'ARIETE stands for peace, space and relaxation. The property in the heart of Renaissance Italy consists of 2 residential buildings and offers independent spacious suites with fully equipped kitchens plus a private restaurant.
Suite Montone is one of the spacious rental units our Countryhouse offers - all elegantly furnished, with fully equipped kitchen, one or two large master bedrooms and equally large living room - 70 m2 to live, relax and enjoy. You will find all the traditional features such as stone archways, oak beams, open fireplaces, beautiful handmade terracotta floors, and original stone walls which guarantee cool, pleasant temperatures even at the peak of summer heat. At the same time L'ARIETE offers all the amenities of modern times such as central heating or wireless internet on the whole property. The large pool allows to swim not just bath, and offers spectacular views of the Umbrian countryside and the hamlet Montone. Numerous gazebos, alcoves and tree-covered hide-aways offer privacy, shade and a perfect place to relax and enjoy a Campari Soda and a good book. La vita e bella - Life is beautiful!
L´Ariete is set amongst 20 acres of private land including a vineyard, with uninterrupted views towards Montone, elected one of Italy´s most beautiful medieval hamlets.
Elegant rooms invite you to enjoy a bottle of fine 'Grechetto' and read the book you planned to read for so long. Enjoy a refreshing swim in the 100 m² pool, browse through the library, or just find yourself a quiet place among the trees, smell the scent of lavender, watch our sheep peacefully resting in the shade of the orchard, listen to the birds and have a nap in one of the hammocks or deck chairs. A vegetable garden is available for our guests, a small grocery shop offers selected regional and home-made products, the restaurant is exclusively open to our guests for a typical Umbrian dinner. Belle vacanze!
