Set on the hillside looking out over the Umbrian countryside, this tranquil villa makes an ideal holiday retreat for friends or families who want to get away from everyday life. With thick stone walls, the villa is cool in the summer and cosy in the chillier months.
Laid out over 2 floors, the interior of the house has been beautifully decorated in a traditional yet contemporary style and can sleep up to 6 people. The front door leads directly into the spacious living room, which is furnished with 2 sofas, a wooden table and chairs, plus attractive antiques. French windows open directly out onto a shaded terrace. Stairs lead up to the bedrooms and a door goes to the separate dining room.
