Shades of Green

Holiday Rental Description

Situated on the border of Tuscany and Umbria – two of Italy's most beloved regions – you'll find this beautiful villa. With plenty of space for a larger group, it's the ideal place to kick back and relax in the Italian sunshine, or to use as a base for your adventures in the surrounding countryside.

With exposed stone walls, traditional shutters, and wooden ceiling beams, the house is bursting with traditional charm. You'll love selecting a book from the collection, and flopping down to enjoy a peaceful read. Or, you might like to head for the kitchen – whether you're planning a three-course feast or just serving some antipasti with wine, it has everything you need. Head outside and gather your fellow guests around the dining table before opening a bottle of Prosecco and making a toast to the good life. There's even a beautiful swimming pool where you can take a dip on hot days, or simply stretch out on a lounger.

The medieval village of Fabro, with its 12th-century castle, is just a twelve-minute drive away, while Città Della Pieve is a little further. And, with close access to the motorway, you can easily drive to Orvieto, Terni, or even further afield to Florence and Rome for a day trip. Nature lovers will also be happy here – cycle, hike or horse-ride through the beautiful rolling landscapes, stopping off at the tiny hilltop villages along the way.

Home truths:
*The pool is open from the last Saturday of April until the first Saturday of October
*You will need a car here – there is space to park at the house
*A high chair and travel cot are available if you're taking along a little one
*There is space to use your laptop at the dining table if you need to work remotely
*The access road is unpaved and suitable for SUVs and off-road vehicles only – 5 km of unlit dirt road, which is narrow with potholes in the last 800m.
