Nestled in the Valnerina Valley and surrounded by greenery, you'll find this gorgeous villa. With plenty of traditional touches and a truly peaceful ambiance, it's the ideal place to press pause on everyday life and recharge your batteries. As your car approaches the house, you'll notice the forest green shutters and flat roof that is typical of this area. Inside, there are terracotta tiled floors, wooden beams, and plenty of antique furnishings that add a rustic charm to the space. The dining room, with its vaulted ceiling and chandeliers, is especially grand, and is a great place to serve up a lavish home-cooked meal. And the outdoor space is just as impressive, with a sparkling swimming pool, grassy lawns, and an outdoor entertaining space where you can barbeque up a feast on balmy evenings. Lovers of the great outdoors can take their pick of adventures in the surrounding countryside. You can go rafting, canoeing, or kayaking in the Nera River – or if you'd prefer to stay on dry land then there are plenty of hiking and cycling trails through the epic landscapes. And, if you're a culture fan, then you can head to the city of Spoleto, famous for its medieval fortress and Roman amphitheatre – it's just a fifteen-minute drive away.
