On arrival at Umbriana, and before you step inside this beautiful stone built villa, we suggest you follow the garden path past the house, open the gate to the pool area and then stop to enjoy the stunning view unfolding before your eyes: a glorious patchwork of fields, vineyards, olive groves, a stone castles and rolling hills leading up to the crowning glory that is Todi, the charming medieval town a 15 minute drive away.

This panoramic vista is the backdrop to the pool area, where the inviting pool is framed by lawn and terraces. Further nooks and terraces surround the house, from a shady tree lined garden to the vine covered outdoor dining area to a lovely raised terrace built into the stone ruins at the front. Overlooking the olive grove, it’s a delightful spot for morning coffee. Perfumed shrubs fill the air with scent and flowers add splashes of colour.

Turn your attention to the house and you will discover a place restored with an abundance of care and attention. Wood beams, exposed stone walls, terracotta tiled floors are quintessentially Umbrian, as are the first floor balconies with stunning views. A soft colour palette, colourful tiles, comfortable bedrooms and a well appointed kitchen ensure living is easy here.

And should you wish for a change from dining under the vines, head to Todi (9km) for dining in the Piazza del Popolo, the main square in Todi. The surrounding countryside is also home to a selection of local restaurants or discover one of the many ‘Most Beautiful Villages in Italy’, of which Umbria has many, Monte Castello di Vibio (35min drive) being one of them. As well as exploring this quiet corner of Umbria, you are also well placed to visit Orvieto and pop over the border into Lazio and one of our favourite places, the lakeside town of Bolsena.
