With over 30 per cent of the region’s total area made up of woodland, Umbria is known as “the Green Heart of Italy”. Villa Subtilia has the unique advantage of being situated in the very centre of this area steeped with history and tradition.
Umbria is one of Italy’s most beautiful and enchanting regions. This tranquil land of saints and ancient mystics, with its romantic countryside and its historically rich medieval hill towns, inspires a special reverence in the hearts of Italians as well as the foreigners visiting it. More than anywhere else, the region seems to represent the country’s spirituality.
With less than a million inhabitants, Umbria’s population density is half that of the national average, affording ample room to express individuality. The simple pleasures of country living, surrounded by idyllic natural beauty, is enhanced by art, architecture, wonderful food and wine in nearby towns and cities throughout the two adjoining regions of Lazio and Tuscany.
Florence and Rome are within a two hours drive. Siena, Arezzo, Assisi, Todi and Orvieto are all closely linked. The capital city of Perugia is just 20 minutes away and offers a wealth of cultural activities that include opera and the famous Umbria Jazz festival, held every July. Other spectacular hilltop towns include Cortona and Preggio. Preggio has an annual classical music festival and the annual Montone Film Festival which attracts an international audience.
During the summer months, open-air concerts and operas are often staged in the gardens of famous villas and palazzos that abound throughout the region.
The estate's management can organise many tours and excursions for guests during their stay.
Guests have access to an 18 Hole championship golf course, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., a golf clubhouse and restaurant facilities within the same estate. They are only 3 minutes distance from the villa. All guests have discounts on the golf green fees.
Villa Subtilia is an elegant and stunning villa set up in the Umbrian hills offering a peaceful environment, breathtaking views and the ambiance of Umbria. It also provides discreet, five-star service complemented with the facilities and commodities of an exceptional luxury resort.
With its eight rooms, each individually decorated in warm rich colours, the villa is an authentic Umbrian jewel offering peace and tranquillity in an environment far removed from everyday care.
This country estate has risen majestically in the Umbrian region for more than a millennium. Inhabited since prehistoric times, the estate has been witness to many historical events which helped shape Italy today.
