Drive through avenues of oak trees, past olive groves, to reach this heavenly retreat in the Umbrian countryside. A cluster of beautifully restored stone houses stand on a hilltop surrounded by ancient cypresses. Owned by the Wirth family of luxury hoteliers, this hamlet is an exquisitely stylish place for couples, families and groups to stay. Many of the buildings date back to the 1400s, and include an ancient monastery. There are five cottages, while the deconsecrated chapel is now an elegant dining room and wedding venue with an oak table and frescoes of cherubs. Houses have terracotta-tiled roofs, sturdy old beams and big windows overlooking forested hills. Interiors are charming and refined; colourful kilims are spread across tiled floors, while you’ll find antique and artisan furniture throughout. Every living room has a working fireplace, beds are wonderfully comfortable and bathrooms are decorated with Deruta ceramic tiles. Kitchens have everything you need to make self-catering a joy. You can cool off in the sparkling pool or practice tennis with on-site staff to help. The views are spectacular…
