The Experience

The setting is superb with views soaring to Monte Acuto and the peace is palpable, so your city cares should instantly dissolve. Three spaces await: Le Terrazza with its huge terrace overlooking the valley, Casa Antica, the largest, with a terrace that backs onto the courtyard, and Il Molino with its own terrace. All have well-equipped kitchens, comfy sitting rooms and fabulous mattresses on well-dressed beds.

You’ll find books and board games  but mostly you’ll be outdoors, barbecuing on your terrace, floating in the infinity pool, dozing on a lounger listening to birdsong and cicadas.

Walks in the mountains will be wonderful, particularly in spring, or head to Umbertide, which sits by the river, for shopping and eating out – it’s big enough to have all you need and small enough to explore easily. Return to magnificent sunsets over the valley.
