Sitting pretty in the rural hamlet of San Venanzo at the foothills of Mount Peglia, this Finca-style villa is a picture of rustic charm and countryside splendour. Turn off the beaten track through a surplus of olive trees, maples, oaks and cypresses, and escape from reality by tucking yourself away in the remote Umbrian hills – perfect for larger groups seeking serenity and calm. The home is steeped in tradition, comfort, and authenticity with wood-beamed ceilings, stone flooring and veranda shaded dining areas. Decorated with plenty of Italian passion in mind, the interior benefits from dark wooden furnishings, antique rugs, ceramic pots, and homely touches that create a cosy and warm ambience. Outside, meander through the rolling hills, float idly in the glistening infinity pool or dine alfresco on the patio with local produce and vino. If you can bear to leave your Italian abode, beautiful Perugia is a 20-minute drive away, with a host of vineyards and wineries even closer. To stay here is to be connected to the simpler pleasures of the Umbrian countryside, slowing down and adopting the pace of nature with your loved ones.

About Todi

Sitting pretty in the hills above the River Tiber, Todi's medieval walls and towering churches wouldn't be amiss in a Renaissance painting. Here, the pace of life is slower, the air is fresher and the atmosphere is unpretentious – no wonder it was deemed one of the most livable cities in the world.
