Villa Desiderio is a charming historical building with several identities over the years, including a school and a manor house. Having recently undergone a full renovation, the home is now a delightful holiday letting, divided into three suite-style apartments sharing living spaces and outdoor grounds. The vast villa can sleep six adults and six children on the in-room sofa beds.
The home comprises a main building, which is set over two floors, and a separate outbuilding. On the ground floor, a spacious living room with sofas and armchairs leads into a communal kitchen and dining area. This floor is home to the first of three suites, which have a bedroom with a double bed, a living room with a double sofa bed and a bathroom with an inviting bathtub. On the first floor, two more of these large suites share another kitchen and living room. The building is decorated in muted tones and has a farmhouse feel, with the centuries-old beams and original, shuttered windows intact. The period building has been brought up to date with modern furnishings, well-equipped bathrooms and contemporary kitchens.
A one-level building property is just a stone’s throw away from the main house. This is a fantastic space where everyone can come together to socialise; there is a dining table here, a sitting area with a TV and sofas and another kitchen, so you can cook together with your party. Meals can be enjoyed indoors or at one of the many al-fresco dining tables with views over the rural surroundings.
The garden here is expansive and leafy, with lawned areas, dining tables and a feature swimming pool surrounded by sun loungers. This lovely space is a great place for relaxing in the sun while the kids run around.
When you want to get out and see some of Umbria’s quaint villages and bustling towns, the nearest town, Bevagna, is a mere few kilometres away! While the centre of the town is mainly filled with medieval buildings and cobbled streets, the town originally hails from the Roman era and is steeped in history.
