Beautiful Off-Season Visit

The house was located on a beautiful setting looking out over an olive orchard and a scenic valley. It was truly a wonderful oasis between day trips to Assisi, Montefalco, Citta di Castella, Montepulciano, Perugia, and Deruta.

Heel mooi huis op een prachtige plek

Het moderne huis is van alle gemakken voorzien. De gebruikte materialen en de inrichting zijn van goede kwaliteit en met smaak uitgekozen. De bedden zijn goed. Het uitzicht is oogverblindend mooi. De tuin is groot, rustig, heeft veel privacy en geeft veel gelegenheid om onder een olijfboom een rustig en schaduwrijk plekje te zoeken. Het zwembad is heerlijk. Er zouden beneden wat comfortabele stoelen geplaats kunnen worden. Caroline, de contactpersoon is een prettige en snel handelende persoon die goed communiceert.

Italy Family Vacation

Great house with amazing views! Pictures are exactly what the house looks like. Perfect location, just a nice distance from downtown Perugia but close to locations stores. Caroline was wonderful, helpful and accommodating. She helped us out with a lot of ins and outs before & during our trip. We would definitely rent again in the future. 5 stars!

About the host

Hosted by Caroline Sampson

The property is owned by David and Cate Sutton, resident in Australia. The property is managed by Caroline Sampson, English, resident in a nearby village in Umbria.
David is an engineer/artist, Cate a passionate foodie. We have loved visiting Italy for years, study the language, and looked to buy. We came upon the opportunity to build a contemporary highly ecological house in the hills of Umbria. This greatly appealed to the engineer and our project has been one of enthusiastic collaboration between us, our Australian architects, the German builders who prefabricated the house, and the Italian building team who completed the construction. Villa del Verde is our second home and we have furnished it with original Australian art. It embodies all that is contemporary in both furnishings and the latest technology for thermally efficient houses and we want others to embrace and enjoy all it offers.

Why they chose this property

We particularly love being in a country environment while, at the same time, not being at all isolated. Our close proximity to a beautiful city, to real working italian towns, and many famous medieval villages is unique and offers a vast choice of activities. We have two neighbouring families closeby with whom we have good friendships and hence a sense of community. One lives there permanently and the other only for holidays. Our views are stunning and the environment peaceful and relaxing.

What makes this property unique

A point of difference for our house is obviously the International A+ energy certification it has received. Our state-of-the-art air exchange system allows the house to maintain an even temperature of your choice (low 20 degrees) all year round. Heating costs are not an issue as they would be in a typical traditional italian house. This makes our house comfortable and affordable all year round. The architecture and design is contemporary, and while local materials are featured, they are incorporated into a modern, light-filled, open, comfortable and highly efficient house. The house also has lots of security with outside sensor lights and an alarm system.
