Cypress trees, cedars and ancient oaks, lavender, roses and hazelnut groves fill the private acres of this elegant country house, peacefully secluded in the hills of northern Lazio, within easy reach of Rome by car or train. Catching the breezes in its elevated spot, the estate grounds, extending to approximately 49 acres are glorious, with pergolas and parasols for al fresco living, a gated pool set in a lovely lawned clearing, plenty of space for youngsters to play and cycling, jogging and walking, and the intriguing ruins of an ancient Roman wall. The villa itself has been lovingly restored to produce a house of quality and character, with beamed ceilings and hand-crafted brick floors framing light and airy spacious rooms, styled in most attractive and comfortable country style. In a straightforward and ideal layout for two families, on each side of the house, two bedrooms, each with en suite facilities are accessed through an ante-room with sofa beds for children or young adults.

About the area

Near Orvieto, Todi & Northern Lazio

Average weather

In the south, an Umbria holiday comes dotted with honey-coloured stone farmsteads and sprinkled with olive groves—this region is not called ‘Italy’s green heart’ for nothing. The towns are a must-see for cathedral connoisseurs: there’s nothing restrained about the façade at Orvieto, yet one simple rose window is all that breaks up the classy simplicity at Todi. All of southern Umbria’s villas are within day-trip distance of Rome, too: the station at Orvieto has a fast link with the capital.
