Intimate country inn in Umbria

Exterior

This intimate country inn in the heart of rural Umbria really captures the essence of the area, with panoramic views of the pristine landscape of rolling hills, charming medieval hill towns, stretches of vineyards, olive groves, orchards, and fields of sunflowers.

Bevagna, a small city nearby, a well kept secret in Umbria, is lovely for wandering around. The inn is also only 15-45 minutes from most of the other cities in Umbria thus providing a super base for exploring. Umbria hosts many famous festivals, such as Eurochocolate, Umbria Jazz, Festival dei Due Mondi and Il Mercato delle Gaite to mention just a few. All are less than 40 minutes away from the inn.

There is plenty to do at the inn itself as well as in the surrounding area. Blissful afternoons can be spent at the inn relaxing outside in the sun or taking a refreshing swim in the private panoramic swimming pool. Italian cooking classes, tours of the winery and wine and olive-tasting are fun activities also on offer. For sporting types, walking and bike routes abound, and horse-riding and golf facilities can be found in the area.

If you should wish to go further afield, Rome and Florence are an hour and a half away.

Interior

Originally a farmhouse dating from 1880, the property has been meticulously restored to bring back the antique stones and bricks, hand-hewn oak beams and terracotta floors to their former glory.

All eight of the inn´s rooms are real "rooms with a view" and the height of comfort and luxury. Modern comforts blend harmoniously with the rustic elegance of the fine antique furnishings from the family estate. The spacious rooms feature king-size beds with quality bed linens and private Italian marble bathrooms, and amenities include LCD televisions, CD players, wireless internet and telephone. Daily housekeeping services are also included to make your stay even more enjoyable.

There are also various common areas in this intimate country inn where you can relax and soak up the unique atmosphere of the place: the inviting bar, cosy reading room with fireplace and winery with new tasting area.

Every day you will be sure to look forward to the delicious continental buffet breakfast that includes a generous selection of fresh breads, cheeses, fruit, yogurt, cereals and pastries, all the more enjoyable for being able to eat on the patio with its breathtaking view out over Umbria.

The charming host and hostess are friendly and welcoming and are keen to offer their personalized services, giving suggestions of restaurants serving local specialties and other places to visit that you won´t find in a guide book.

This intimate country inn is a truly special place, ideal for both its relaxing, welcoming atmosphere and its fabulous rural location affording easy access to all the delights of Umbria.
