Vecchia Casa a rustic apartment for 2 in Umbria

This romantic apartment is decorated in the rustic manner, using a muted colour scheme, antique furniture, natural materials and fabrics and beautiful light fittings, but with modern facilites to ensure the comfort of our guests.

The open plan living area has a kitchenette, so why not try making a simple Italian meal, then dine in the intimate atmoshere with soft lighting.

The sofa is perfect for relaxing after a busy day of sightseeing or for curling up to watch a DVD.

Within minutes from our door wild boar roam the woods at night, yet the house is less than 1/2 hour from the bustling town of Perugia. From the garden one can see the ruins of 4 castles and hear the bells from the church in a neighbouring village.

Nature is at its most beautiful with the sound and sight of the swallows, butterflies in their array of colours, a hare running past and the wonderful wild flowers.

A traditional and cosy bedroom

Enjoy the romance of climbing up, into an antique Neapolitan bed, in a bedroom with exposed stone walls and terracotta floors, featuring traditional night tables and lighting, turn out the lights and dream of the beautiful days ahead exploring Umbria and Tuscany.

The colourful garden

Under the pergola scented with honeysuckle and is a private terrace for relaxing with a good book, enjoying a glass of wine, dining al-fresco or by candle light under a carpet of stars.

From here one can see the rolling hills covered in woodland, olive groves and vineyards where farmers tend their flocks.

Why not decend the stairs lined in lavender to pick organic fruit from our orchard or try your hand at making a pizza in the old garden forno.

Green green Umbria

Umbria is a magical region of Italy, know as its green heart, with mountains, rolling hills and woodland. It's noted for the vast number of fortified towns, villages and borgos all perched a top a hill and unspoilt. Umbria has no large cities, as a result, there is little traffic on our roads, which makes wandering the country lanes a joy. Why not park the car along the roadside to enjoy a picnic under an olive tree and enjoy the marvelous views, while the farmers go about their work.

Most of Umbria is farmland, lovingly tended by those whos families have done the same for generations. Why not come at harvest time from September to December and watch the joy and camaraderie as everyone joins in the various harvests and celebrations.

Umbria is famous for its simple style of cooking as well as the ingredients which are grown here such as suckling pig, earthy, black truffles arguably the finest in the world, wild mushrooms, our renowned olive oil and cheeses, notably pecorino made from sheeps' milk.
