Location and Surrounding Area
Nestled in the tranquil Umbrian countryside, this magnificent thirteen-bedroom hamlet is ideally situated to offer complete privacy to its guests, while also allowing easy exploration of the region's cultural highlights and most spectacular natural wonders.

Property 1557152208 is just a few kilometres from Gubbio, a charming town built into the steep slopes of Mount Ingino, known for its rich history and culture. As you approach the town, you are greeted by the ruins of a Roman theatre, built in the 1st century. A stroll through its winding, steep streets leads to the breathtaking Piazza Grande, the town’s striking central square, home to the imposing 14th-century Palazzo dei Consoli. Gubbio’s cultural heritage is highlighted during La Festa dei Ceri, one of the oldest folklore festivals in Italy.
The property is a short distance from Perugia, Umbria's largest and most vibrant city. Its historic centre is a mix of cobbled streets, arched stairways, and piazzas surrounded by impressive churches and palaces. Traces of its rich past are visible everywhere, from ancient arches to Renaissance frescoes by artists like Perugino and Raphael. Despite its history, Perugia has a lively atmosphere, with university students energising the nightlife and music lovers gathering in July for Umbria Jazz, one of Europe's top jazz festivals.
With picturesque plains below and Monte Subasio towering steeply above, the sight of Assisi in the warm glow of dusk can be truly awe-inspiring. At this time, when the town is cloaked in saintly silence, the true spirit of Saint Francis can be felt most profoundly. However, you do not need to be religious to appreciate the beauty of Assisi, with its pristine historic centre and Unesco-listed Basilica, home to one of Italy’s most celebrated artistic masterpieces.
