Tranquil bliss with stunning views of Umbria
The pictures that Marzia has put up to show this house are great but in reality the actual property, garden and views are even better! The scenery is breathtaking and the interior of the house is sympathetically restored to be true to its country origins but punctuated with some very beautiful Italian furniture.
Marzia couldn’t be more helpful in the lead up to our visit and sent really good directions so we found the property with ease.
Although it feels remote, you are only about 3km from a really fantastic local restaurant/cafe/bar at the bottom of the road and very near to Assisi. We actually walked to Assisi one day and it took almost exactly 2 hours which was very beautiful. There is also a circular walk round the property that Marzia showed us which took around 45 minutes.
The pool is very small but we found it perfect for cooling down in after a trip away or on hot days and again, the views while you are in it are fantastic.
There is a very peaceful terrace outside the kitchen door with a table of chairs for outside eating as well as a hammock for getting on with your holiday reading!
There are so many beautiful Umbrian towns to visit within an hour of the property making it the perfect antidote to a busy day soaking up the culture and history of this extraordinary region.
We were two adults, our sixteen year old daughter and her friend. We all loved it!
Marzia, thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us an looking after us so well.
