La Villa is a beautiful country residence situated in the green hills of northern Umbria between Gubbio and Citta' di Castello. Its location, only 3 km from Pietralunga, a medieval town not yet frequented by tourists, allows you to experience the real taste of Umbrian hospitality.  It is a perfect spot to discover Umbria, its beautiful landscape and famous cities. Moreover Tuscany and the Adriatic coast are not far away.

The house is a typical Umbrian stone farmhouse dating back from centuries ago, surrounded by 2 ha. of private grounds and offering a panoramic view across the Carpina valley. In this paradise of peace you can enjoy the sunny climate and fresh air, the tranquillity, the beautiful evenings under a star filled sky that will give you the right Italian experience.

The owners have recently restored the house with particular care, respecting the original architecture. High ceilings, exposed wooden beams, stone features and terracotta tiles provide a rustic atmosphere.

 

La Villa offers three exclusive apartments with very attractive interiors: La Terrazza (sleeps 4), Il Loggiato (sleeps 2) and Caifem (sleeps 2)

The apartments are fully independent with private terrace, very tastefully furnished and decorated, with all comforts like central heating and TV. Each room has a private bathroom and the modern design sanitary is of high quality. The luxurious fabrics for decoration and linen have been chosen with great care and meet the highest standards. 

 

A beautiful swimming pool (10 x 5 m) is situated on the south side of the house and offers a fantastic view over the surrounding hills. There are comfortable sun beds and the pool area includes a shower/dressing/laundry room as well as a furnished covered terrace (gazebo) with an open fire place and lounge beds.

In front of the house there is a large piazza for common use where, on request, it is possible to enjoy an outside meal together with the other guests.

 

The owners, a Dutch couple, who live in a part of the main house will be happy to make you feel at home, to give the information you might need for a perfect holiday and to invite you for a glass of wine in their wine cellar or for a pizza prepared in the wood burned oven.
