Birthplace of the Renaissance Citta di Castello, Umbria

Property Description

Hidden away in the Apennines, this rustic Italian home is the perfect setting for a relaxing mountain retreat with all your favourite people. You won’t find any showstopping luxuries here but what this home lacks in modern amenities, it makes up for in character. Made up of two traditional guesthouses, this property is teeming with traditional design features – think authentic wooden ceilings and gargantuan stone fireplaces – and offers plenty of space to eat, drink, and be merry with your fellow guests.

However you plan to spend your time here, we’d recommend starting your day in the garden, soaking up views of the Umbrian countryside and enjoying a light breakfast of pastries and fresh fruit in the gorgeous sunshine. If you fancy exploring, Città di Castello is fifty minutes by car – otherwise grab your swimming costume and settle in for a day of relaxation by the private pool. Your host is happy to organise dinners for you here, so why not make the most of it? Gather everyone onto the veranda for a delicious evening meal made from the freshest local ingredients, then head inside and end your day with a glass of Orvieto by the fire. Bliss.
