Umbria Holidays
What's so special about Umbria anyway? You can write reams about its light and landscape but you can do that about Tuscany and Ireland and a hundred other places. What is special to me is that its pleasures are small scale. It is Perugino rather than Leonardo, it is Montefalco rather than Siena, it is students outnumbering tourists in Perugia's Piazza Italia. And although it is remarkably unspoilt, Umbria manages to balance its agricultural heritage with local industry so you feel you are staying in a region that is still very much alive.
The properties we feature are as follows:
Le Silve di Armenzano is a beautifully restored farmhouse, set in peaceful countryside in the wooded hills near Assisi, which had been converted into an extremely comfortable hotel with self catering apartments nearby.
In a tranquil position near Lake Trasimeno, the Villa di Monte Solare is an elegant hotel set in lovely walking country within easy access of the Umbrian capital Perugia, and has recently become a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World.
La Casella is set in the midst of beautiful Umbrian countryside, 6km from the road, approximately 2 hours north of Rome. It is within easy reach of Orvieto whilst Assisi, Florence and Siena can be visited for the day.
Locanda Palazzone is a magnificent medieval building lying on a hill outside Orvieto which has been restored and converted into a luxurious hotel.
Castello di Montignano is a magnificent building which dates back to the 10th century, set in wonderful countryside near Massa Martana, about 10 kms from Todi, in Umbria.
Casale de Lanci is the latest labour of love for Louise and Eugenio Grippo, the owners of Borgo Il Poeta.
Located in the unspoilt countryside of northern Umbria, Borgo Il Poeta was formerly the site of one of the watch towers which stood along the Tuscan/Umbrian border. Today, the remnants of the 16th century tower and the hamlet surrounding it have been integrated into a collection of 6 elegant country houses.
Having already developed Borgo il Poeta and Casale di Lanci, Eugenio and Louise Grippo have raised their sights to the transformation of the whole hamlet of Comugnalia, a medieval hamlet dating back to 1050.
Mazzaforte is in a stunning position on a hill with wonderful views of the lush green Umbrian countryside, situated near Citta di Castello and Umbertide and within easy reach of Perugia, Gubbio and Cortona.
Fondo le Teglie lies about 12km from Todi in a wonderful position overlooking the rolling hills and green fields of Umbria. You will never tire of sitting out on the shaded loggia, the lovely courtyard or by the swimming pool, and gazing at the unsurpassable views surrounding you.
Casa del Conte is a beautiful property which lies by itself on a hill about ten kilometres from Todi with wonderful views of the hilltop town and the Tiber Valley below.
Le Terrazze is a very attractive stone built casale with a separate cottage, originally forming part of a sixteenth century group of farm buildings grouped around a central stone paved piazza
Knowing the professionalism and care that Benedetta demonstrates as manager at La Foce meant that we were excited to learn that she had been working on converting a former farmhouse in a very quiet and unspoilt setting near Gioiella on the Tuscan/Umbrian border.
The Palazzo del Gastaldo was originally a fortified hamlet and has been exquisitely restored by its present owners and converted into six apartments.
Sant'Illuminato is set in 18 hectares of land with uninterrupted views from the low hills overlooking the Tiber Valley close to the Umbrian / Tuscan border, near Citta di Castello, San Sepulcro and Cortona.
La Rocca is a beautiful 10th century Umbrian building situated near the village of Mantignana, 18km from Perugia and 14km from Lake Trasimeno.
Set on a small hillside, just outside the village of Torregentile, this is one of our smallest properties with only 3 apartments, 2 of which are available to our clients.
