Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
At the end of a mountain road in the beautiful Umbrian countryside, you’ll find a 500-year-old monastery where seclusion, peace and tranquillity are the order of the day. Of course, with the historic villa being centrally located, you’ll have an opportunity to fully embrace your inner wanderer and explore Tuscany and all it has to offer. Discover your love of renaissance art in Florence, take a cooking class in Siena, and sate your sweet tooth by visiting Perugia. If you’re not in the mood for a day trip – travelling times ranging between forty minutes and two hours – then there’s plenty to do right here, starting with leisurely mornings spent lounging poolside. Catch up on books, podcasts or simply enjoy the quiet and fresh air as you soak up the sun in one of the sunloungers. Walk through the olive groves or sip your coffee on the little balcony where you can fully appreciate the immaculate grounds beyond. The old chapel has been converted into a lounge with a wood-burning stove, which is perfect for cooler evenings when a glass of wine and a crackling fire is just what you need. With an authentic outdoor wood-burning stove, you can... schedule a special pizza night and learn how to bake your own creations – interactive, tasty, and another feather in your cap. Sit down in the reclaimed church pews to eat alfresco around the solid wood dining table and stay out long after sunset to fully appreciate the countryside night sky.

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.
