“Come and discover the wild and unspoiled beauty of Umbria — Tuscany's hidden next door neighbor and the green heart of Italy.”
This charming family-run 17th century stone farmhouse with an outdoor swimming pool and breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside is nestled in a protected natural reserve in Orvieto (Umbria). At a crossroads between Umbria, Tuscany and Lazio, this country house is the ideal point from which to discover a myriad of enchanting medieval towns or just to take a break from everyday life. The owners, Marco and Daniela, both native English speakers, believe in the "slow way of life" and wish to show you the way as well.

Following a faithful renovation of this ancient stone farmhouse, 6 large rooms were created each with their own bathroom & shower and lovely panoramic views. The rooms have been redecorated in a traditional rustic style and several rooms still possess the house's original wooden cross beams, cotto floor tiles and fireplaces.

Breakfast is served on the veranda and includes homemade cakes, bread and jams. We may occasionally prepare dinner for our guests, but these are impromptu dinners depending on our availability and the number of guests present (pizza, tastings or bbq). There are also many options nearby that we can recommend and book for you either in Orvieto (15 minutes by car) or in the small village below our farmhouse - Ciconia (10 minutes by car).

The rooms and the dining veranda provide a very good Wi-Fi internet connection
A lovely garden with an outdoor pool and sunbeds surround the farmhouse which is situated on 7 hectares of fertile land including 700 ancient olive trees, a forest, a small fruit orchard and an organic vegetable garden. A panoramic viewpoint which offers breathtaking views of Orvieto by day and by night is complemented by a gazebo and a stone veranda from which to enjoy the views and the glowing sunsets.

Thanks to its strategic position, the most important historical towns in Umbria, Tuscany and Lazio can be reached quickly. Rome and Florence can easily be reached by train from the Orvieto train station. The area offers a wide range of activities including: horseback riding, cycling and trekking routes, water sports, thermal baths, food festivals, ancient religious celebrations, medieval costume parades and jousting competitions. Many regional and national mountain parks surround the farmhouse as well. The Umbria Jazz Festival takes place every year in Perugia in July and Orvieto in December.

Come live the slow life with us..
