Nestled in the heart of Umbria, this villa embodies the idyllic charm John Denver evoked in “Country Roads, Take Me Home.” As you drive through the winding roads, surrounded by lush vineyards and rolling hills, the villa emerges like a serene haven, almost heaven itself. The air is filled with the gentle hum of cicadas, adding a natural symphony to the tranquility that envelops you. The property is meticulously equipped, ensuring every comfort is at your fingertips, from modern amenities to rustic touches that enhance its charm. The peacefulness here is profound, offering a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
The villa’s swimming pool is a highlight, providing a refreshing escape on hot summer days. It is perfectly positioned to offer stunning views of the surrounding landscape, making every swim a picturesque experience.
Having said all that when we were there it was very hot, over 37c (100f) most days, and the cooling hilltop breezes mentioned in the description of the property were no match for the fierce evening and night time temperatures. Leaving the bedroom window and patio doors open only allowed the constant hum of the nearby Autostrada to combine with the heat to prevent a good nights sleep. Air conditioning would certainly be a plus! Also the satellite TV mentioned in the property description is not functional.
But all in all, it is a magical property perhaps more so out of high summer. Thank you Lisa and Arturo.
