Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Experience Italy by laying claim to your own little village on a sprawling estate bordering Tuscany and Umbria. Made up of six houses – one converted from a hay barn, but all of them boasting traditional stone and exposed beams – the accommodation breaks down large groups into smaller parties. Though it's lacking a bit of light and some might not find the traditional decor to their taste, we like the practicality of this home, and the surroundings aren't so bad either. Green hills and oak forests stand like sentinels along the perimeter and from the right vantage you can overlook the Tiber Valley. Plus, the private pool and expansive garden will be a joy for little ones.

Home truths
We suggest hiring a car for ease – there's parking space for up to thirty-three cars here.
This accommodation is split into a number of smaller apartments. Ideal for a large group who wants a little more privacy.
There's a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom here for those with reduced mobility. Some of the double beds may be made up of two single mattresses pushed together.
The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
The grout in one of the bathrooms look stained.
The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
If you need to stock up, the nearest supermarket is a short drive away.

About Perugia
In the heart of picturesque Umbria, the walled city of Perugia radiates history down every winding cobbled alleyway. Sitting atop a hill, streets stacked on top of each other are crowned at the tip with the jutting spire of Piazza IV Novembre with its ancient Cathedral. Fontana Maggiore, an ornate fountain is at the heart of the square which once buzzed with medieval merchants and monks. Follow the narrow streets...
