Obviously, there’s the pool. But that’s just the start!
If you are an exercise junkie, there’s a volley ball pitch, a huge trampoline and a football pitch in the surrounding fields. And, there are acres of private land to run in.
If you enjoy games, there’s a football table, an exercise bike and table tennis in a designated games area in the centre of the village.
If you have children, there’s a specially designed kiddies’ corner in the woods with a slide and swings.
If you prefer to relax, there are picnic areas in the expansive woods, meditation spots in the vast gardens and a pool to recline besides.
Or, in Vicolo, you can stay put on your own private balcony, a flute of Prosecco in hand, to the song of the nightingale hailing the setting sun, the squeaks of swifts and swallows, the soft rustle of Tuscan pines and the rhythmic buzz of the cicadas.
If you’re a foodie, you are perfectly located for a gastronomic experience. This area is food paradise. Not least because it’s here that you find the world’s finest olive oils, wines and truffle - all home grown! And that won’t break the bank!!
Just under 2 kms away, in the quaint and well appointed village of Strettura, you’ll find Palazzo Del Papa, a 1st class restaurant and inn where the Pope regularly stayed as he journeyed between Assisi and Rieti. This restaurant, with its beautiful grounds, has been in the same family since time began!!
There are another 3 eateries in Strettura, including a trattoria and a pizzaria. There’s also a butcher, a grocery store and a post office!
Then, just 0.8 kilometres down the steep hill into our village is another wondrous restaurant, Il Capanno. It, too, nestles in sumptuous grounds, and offers 1st class cuisine.
Both these superb restaurants host wedding parties and special events, the latter of which hosted the model, Kate Moss’s party when she and her entourage stayed at Spoleto Country Park some years ago, when it was a smaller version of itself!
So, either stay private in the cool spaciousness of your Vicolo cottage.
