If you’re in search of la dolce vita, this rustic home delivers just that and more from its lofty position in the Umbrian hills. You’ll have sweeping views across Niccone Valley, a heated swimming pool and a beautiful garden where you can wander through the orchard and relax under the old oak trees. And while there’s plenty to keep you here, this is also a great base from which to explore some of the region's most beautiful spots. The sleepy village of Preggio is just a five-minute drive away, while Perugia and Assisi are both less than an hour's drive away.

About Perugia
In the heart of picturesque Umbria, the walled city of Perugia radiates history down every winding cobbled alleyway. Sitting atop a hill, streets stacked on top of each other are crowned at the tip with the jutting spire of Piazza IV Novembre with its ancient Cathedral. Fontana Maggiore, an ornate fountain is at the heart of the square which once buzzed with medieval merchants and monks. Follow the narrow streets...
