Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
At this rustic villa, there's nothing between you and the rolling hills of Umbria. It's set on an estate that produces wine and olive oil, so you'll be able to sample top-quality fare without leaving home. The interiors, with their exposed beams and arches, are characteristic of this region – but it's the gardens where you'll want to spend most of your time. Gather under the pergola for a barbecue, cool off with a dip in the pool, or choose a spot on the terrace and soak up the picture-perfect vistas. This home's rural location is made for relaxing, but if you fancy exploring the region, historic Chiusi is just a fifteen-minute drive away.
