Guests always comment on how charming and exceptionally beautiful the house is, both inside and out, and how it is perfectly designed for an idyllic and peaceful holiday. The house is built in the style of a traditional stone-clad Umbrian cottage with all features and fittings of high quality. It has genuine terracotta tile floors and wood beams on the ceilings. Very attractive furnishing in a mix of typical Umbrian furniture and shabby chic style.
The heating is underfloor, and can be regulated to different temperatures in every room.
The enormous high-ceiling living room with stone fireplace and huge sofa, perfect for socialising leads to the fully fitted walk-in kitchen with open wood oven for barbecueing. The kitchen is fully fitted with oven range, dishwasher and fridge freezer, as well as wood oven for traditional roasts and barbecue.
There are three large French windows which lead out from the living room and kitchen onto a covered terrace with comfortable sofas and chairs for you and your guests and a long dining table. The terrace faces south, and provides shelter from the sun from the morning to evening and is an ideal place to enjoy stunning views of the sunset over Monte Cimino.
The beautiful garden is 4000 m2 (approximately one acre) surrounding the house. It is very private and fenced all around, so safe for pets and children. There is a small road which passes one side of the garden which is only occasionally used by passing cars, and is a lovely route to take for an evening stroll.
The garden has 70 olive trees, rosemary and lavender bushes and many fruit trees including fig, plum, apple, pear, apricot, pomegranate and cherry. Roses bloom in every colour in May-July and September - October. Guests will be able to sample the olive oil produced from our garden.
In the hot summer months (June, July and August) we have a circular above ground pool with ladder for the kids to splash in, about 1 metre deep and 4,5 metres wide.
Bigger pools which you will enjoy nearby can be found at Lugnano Public baths (10 mins drive) and at the Thermal Baths of Orte (20 mins)

Entrance to the property is through an electric gate and the driveway leads to a large parking area wide enough for several cars, and a garage with two covered spaces to avoid cars overheating in the summer.
There are very few houses around, but the house is not isolated as it is only a three minute drive to the village of Porchiano del Monte, visible up the hill from the house, which has two small grocery stores and a bar. There are many walks and pathways to take right from the front door full of wildlife and birds.
The house is suitable and safe for people of all ages and abilities. There are only three steps up to the front door and two bedrooms on the ground floor, and direct access to the terrace. We welcome children of all ages, the cot is available on request, there is a highchair, there are toys and books for small children.
