Description

High in the hills on the border of Umbria and Tuscany, this well-equipped and wonderful house is tucked away along a gravel track, with a shop and bar in Gioiello a five minute drive below, and truffle-hunting walks in the woods behind and above the villa. Gazing out over splendid views of the valley and surrounding hills, the old stone house sits in tiered gardens, with sundowner seating in the shade of a tree, a large table on the lawn for al fresco wining and dining, and a long swimming pool on the lower terrace, with ample poolside loungers. An arched entry porch leads into the villa’s characteful hallway, with a central staircase to the gallery landing, which opens out to an upper terrace and outdoor staircase to the garden, and provides access to three first floor bedrooms, the fourth being at ground level.
Four-poster beds, free-standing bathtubs and walk-in showers feature in these charming rooms, each with a sitting area; while social space includes an elegant dining room and sitting room, each beautifully furnished and with timber panelled ceilings. For added indulgence, chef, concierge and shopping services can be arranged.
