Cisterna is a two floor cottage with a beautiful private terrace, overlooking the manicured gardens, full of flowers and shrubs, and, beyond, the mountains. And, a shady patio at the side of the cottage.

Located next to the church, its name comes from the ancient cistern of rainwater on which it was built.

On the ground floor there is a living/dining room with fireplace and a separate kitchen.

On the 1st floor there is a twin bedroom with a bathroom. The landing of this floor opens onto a huge garden, in front of the church.

Beautiful panorama of mountains and woods from the cottage.

Bought by a wealthy Roman, Spoleto Splash is a private village, consisting of 5 luxury cottages, discreetly spaced apart to ensure privacy, restored to the highest standard and equipped with everything you can imagine that befits a mediaeval setting. This arrangement ensures maximum privacy for all the guests. And, none of the cottages is more than a 1 minute walk to the large pool.

Spoleto Splash is a hill-top village, along the Valnerina.

There is also a Veranda, in the midst of the borgo, consisting of a large sitting/dining room with a double sofa-bed, a fully fitted kitchen with dish-washer and a shower room. There is a vine-covered pergola, a pizza oven and a Bbq. The Veranda can be used as an extension for your friends who may wish to visit you and stay for a night or so. And/or, it is used by the guests to meet each other on neutral territory and to eat together without messing up their own cottage !!

At the edge of the village, a few minutes walk away from the cottages, so as not to disturb, Spoleto Splash offers the use of barbecues, ping pong tables, exercise machinery and basketball hoops, in a covered, outdoor area.

Just below the village, set in acres of private land that belongs to the village, is a football pitch and a play area for children.

Magnificent views abound!

To date, Spoleto Splash has been a secret place for world famous celebrities, seeking solace and discretion. Now, however, this private village has been launched onto the holiday rental market so that you too can experience living like a celebrity – but, not at celebrity rates. Go on, pamper yourselves!

Spoleto Splash was built around the year 1000 Ad along the Flaminia route, which departs from Rome towards the North of Italy. It was populated by countrymen and the site was a refreshment place for the troops and the messengers of the Pope along the route towards the North of Italy and Rome.

In the centre is a church built in honour of San Michele Arcangelo in 1500 Ad.

Spoleto Splash is probably the 2nd oldest inhabited village in Umbria. It is off the Flaminia, the main road that leads directly to the heart of the mediaeval city of Spoleto, 7 kms away, a tiny city that pre-dates Rome.
