Tucked away in the Umbrian countryside, this traditional stone farmhouse is a tranquil spot for an Italian getaway. It has all the comforts you need to enjoy a laid-back stay, like a heated swimming pool and a shaded terrace for alfresco meals. It’s a great pick for families too, with a bunk bed that’s handy for younger guests and a climbing frame and boules court for fun in the sun. The location is perfectly peaceful, with hiking and biking trails on the doorstep. And you’ll be close to shops and restaurants in Umbertide (fifteen minutes by car), while Umbria’s vibrant capital Perugia is forty minutes away.
