Overview
Step into the heart of untamed Umbria in central Italy and uncover the timeless allure of Organic Umbria – an idyllic farmhouse offering a harmonious getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Inside, the large, two-storey house is divided into three cosy apartments, all equipped to the highest standards. The central apartment on the ground floor welcomes you with an exceptional living room adorned with restored stone arches, wooden-beamed ceilings, and an ancient fireplace. Gather with loved ones, uncork a bottle of fine Umbrian wine, and challenge each other to a friendly game of pool. On the first floor, the most exquisite apartment awaits, boasting an ancient stone fireplace, rustic wooden-beamed ceilings, and a splendid view of rolling hills, the shimmering swimming pool, and the Medieval Castles of Montelagello and Monte Vibiano. On this floor, you’ll also find the third apartment with comforts ideal for an intimate family retreat with a master bedroom and a kids' twin room. The entire home is characterised by traditional Italian furnishings and time-honoured pieces transporting you back in time with its rustic charm. The ground-floor kitchen is well equipped for all aspiring chefs, inviting you to whip up a home-cooked meal from ingredients harvested at the estate.
Surrounded by verdant greenery featuring towering trees, vineyards, fields and land used for the production of organic products such as fruit, vegetables and dried legumes, the estate is a true haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Lounge by the inviting swimming pool and soak up the sun’s rays on the terrace, or bring your meals outside to the covered pergola for an unforgettable experience.
The owners invite guests to fully immerse yourself in Umbria's rich food and wine culture by trying seasonal dishes and local artisanal wines produced in the region. You are encouraged to witness farmers at work, indulge in private barbecue dinners under the stars or learn how to make Italian specialities such as pasta and pizza.
When you’ve scouted every nook and cranny of the expansive estate, it’s time to venture outside and step into the lush Umbrian countryside. Hiking and walking trails await just outside the gates, so put on your outdoor shoes and explore hilltop towns, magnificent lakes and fascinating forests.
Those looking to indulge in the splendid local cuisine while learning more about the region’s history should visit Perugia, a hilltop city known for its defensive walls around the historic centre, and the medieval Priori Palace exhibiting regional art from the 13th century onward.
Venture further to nearby towns like Assisi, Terni and Spoleto, each offering a unique taste of history, culture, and natural beauty.
What you should know…

About the surrounding area of Organic UmbriaOrganic Umbria is a wonderful country house situated in a landscape of breathtaking beauty, in central Italy’s Umbria region characterised by hilltop towns, dipping plains and lush forests framing the countryside.
The estate extends over an area of 500 hectares of gentle hills and is nestled among three magnificent medieval castles, ideal for daytime wanders. The farming land is still used to this day for the production of wheat, sunflower, corn and sugar beet; the organic olive groves and vineyards produce organic olive oil and the finest wine respectively, thanks to their optimal sun exposure.
Once you’ve explored all the beauty of the surrounding area, hop into the car and drive for 30 minutes to reach Perugia.

Outside the city, discover the Parco Fluviale del Nera with the mesmerising Cascata delle Marmore waterfall and enchanting forest trails.
Wine connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike will love visiting Montepulciano, a Tuscan gem renowned for its exceptional grape varieties. With plenty of vineyards located in the surrounding countryside and bars in the city, you’ll be able to meander through its atmospheric streets, sip on the famous Vino Nobile, and admire Renaissance architecture.
A bit further but still only a 1.5-hour drive away lies the artistic allure of Arezzo, a city steeped in culture and true Italian charm. Visit the Basilica of San Francesco to marvel at Piero della Francesca's masterpieces and explore the historic centre where you’ll be able to try local specialities and enjoy much-needed relaxation after a long day spent in nature.
For a day of lakeside serenity, Lake Trasimeno offers pebbled beaches fantastic for soaking up vitamin D and getting your exercise in. You’ll be able to swim in the clear water, rent a paddle board or even a motor boat and explore the lake from every corner. Notably, the picturesque Chiesa di Santa Caterina on Isola Maggiore and the Parco Comunale di Turona with cascading waterfalls and diverse flora make for a superb alternative to city tourism when you’re in need of a tranquil escape.
