Built with local stone, this century-old restored villa is the ultimate Italian countryside retreat. Set in the heart of Umbria, it has panoramic views over the Tiber Valley and the Alviano Oasis. The 25 acres of private land are home to deer, goats, and donkeys, while a heated saltwater pool, hot tub, and private spa with a Turkish bath and chromotherapy shower offer plenty of relaxation. Inside, exposed beams and wooden sculptures add rustic charm. All bedrooms have garden access and ensuites – just bear in mind that some include mezzanine beds and one has a sofa bed. You'll need a car to reach the nearby restaurants, bars and shops, but the scenery and tranquillity here make it well worth it.
