Scented Jasmines Terni, Umbria

Property Description

Marvel at the rural landscape, stretching as far as the eye can see, at this glorious Umbrian home. Set in just over 2 acres and part of a larger 30-acre estate of vineyards and olive groves, you can really lose yourself in the grounds of this country residence. Spend your days in the gardens surrounded by fragrant lime trees, roses, geraniums, pomegranates, and oleanders. Or sit under the shade of a tree and read a good book in the olive grove – we think it's utter bliss here. Fire up the wood oven for lunch and enjoy a banquet, polished off with a bottle of local red, under the shade of the portico. If the sizzling Umbrian sun gets too hot, go for a refreshing dip in the pool, or take shelter inside with its farmhouse-style interiors. The walls of the dine-in kitchen are bedazzled with bric-a-brac, dried flowers adorn exposed stone walls, and oak dressers display generations-worth of knick-knacks. As the sun sets, spend idyllic evenings dining alfresco while enjoying the heady scent of the climbing jasmines. There's plenty here to keep you occupied, but if you do fancy venturing out, the medieval town of Attigliano with its ancient castle, is just five minutes away.
