Situated on a south-facing slope on an organic fruit and olive farm in the Niccone Valley, this enchanting villa in Umbria is enveloped by 25 acres of gardens and orchards and boasts captivating views of some of the most awe-inspiring countryside in Italy.
The open-plan floor space is warmly welcoming, with original archways, wood beams, and heated brick flooring connecting the comfortable lounge and dining spaces. The rustic, open kitchen will surely be a popular gathering spot, and is well appointed with modern appliances and extras, such as a bread maker and wood-fired range.
Four peaceful bedrooms sleep eight comfortably, and an equal number of stylishly renovated bathrooms make it easy to share space.
Breakfast on the sunny balcony or side terrace beside vibrant flowers will start mornings right, and the covered pergola and wooden poolside deck are excellent places to enjoy BBQ lunches with a view.
While you could be content spending your entire holiday within this charming estate, ancient castles, churches, and many delicious restaurants await in the nearby river town of Umbertide. Or, hop the border into Tuscany and take a day trip to Arezzo or Florence, perhaps while doing a bit of wine tasting along the way.

Location
About the surrounding area of Casa GiardinoCasa Giardino has its own terraced garden on the estate, surrounded by the scent of herbs, roses, irises and peonies with fruit trees, olive trees and wildflowers all around. Gather your own seasonal fruit and vegetables and fresh eggs. The property overlooks an orchard and has a spectacular view of Monte Acuto.
The land, 25 acres, has been farmed organically since the late 1980s and is a haven for wildflowers and wildlife. Walking in the upper fields or woods may reveal the tracks of deer or wild boar. Porcupines raid the vegetable garden. A large hare has made his home in the lower apple orchard. Wild orchids grow in the fields in the spring and a bewildering array of wild mushrooms in autumn.

Region
Umbria has best of Italy to offer: rolling landscapes, wine, beautiful towns and villages, olive oil, expansive lakes and the food, glorious food. A holiday here can be as lazy, active, cultured and as delicious as you like.
This region is scattered with pretty, picturesque villages, while the area has a rich cultural heritage. From thermal pools to medieval cathedrals and olive oil museum, Umbria has an intriguing amount of history to discover.
Both Rome and Florence are accessible within a day trip, while the closest towns of interest would be Orvieto, the old town which is a fascinating series of winding streets, piazzas and a colourful weekly market.
History lovers will be spoilt - from the first century Roman amphitheatres to the twelfth-century duomos, to the fourteenth-century hilltop fortresses, the glut of remnants from the medieval and Bronze Age that punctuate the region is impressive.
