Perfect for wine lovers looking for a tranquil Italian getaway, this sprawling villa is set on a sixteen-acre farm in the hills of Deruta. Within Umbria, known for wine production, you can taste and shop in nearby towns, including Montefalco. Purchased bottles can be uncorked and enjoyed on the patio or the garden table with an alfresco lunch. A hot tub, sauna and private pool are ideal for holiday-goers wanting to relax, while a rafting trip on the Black River might entice the more active. Several smaller living spaces mean the whole group won't be able to squeeze together inside, but the garden offers more than enough communal space.

Home truths:
*We suggest hiring a car for ease – there's parking available here.
*As there are stairs to climb here, it might not be the best option for those with reduced mobility.
*The home is split into 10 studio bedrooms with a kitchenette in most of them. There are common living areas to gather all together.
*The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times. It is open from May until October.
*If you want to stock up on essentials during your stay, you'll find the closest supermarket minutes away.
*The decor might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
