You’ll find this stone-clad, hilltop home in the glorious Umbria countryside, surrounded by two hectares of lush lawns, embellished with young olive trees and fragrant bushes of lavender, rosemary and thyme. Spending time here is nothing short of idyllic. Chic farmhouse style interiors in whites and creams make spaces feel crisp and fresh. We love how the kitchen’s sleek, chrome fridge and butcher’s block contrast with the quaint Welsh dresser. In the living room, French doors open up to a patio that’s perfectly set up for entertaining. Sip bittersweet negronis on the rattan sofa or gather around the alfresco dining table to enjoy local produce cooked up on the barbecue. Settle in with a good book under the wisteria wrapped gazebo or plunge into the L-shaped salt water pool – it’s the perfect salve to long, hot afternoons. Swim unhurried laps or take in the impressive views of the Val di Chiana from the water’s edge.
