This is a magical stone country house in a stunning setting with a large garden, with typical Umbrian features and wide outdoor terrace for dining and relaxation, where you can enjoy unspoilt views over green fields and olive trees to the distant peaks of Monte Cimino in the Viterbo area of Lazio. Guests visiting the house always comment on how charming and exceptionally beautiful the house is both inside and out, and how it is perfectly designed for an idyllic and peaceful holiday. It is built in the style of a traditional stone-clad Umbrian cottage with all features and fittings of high quality. It has genuine terracotta tile floors and wood beams on the ceilings. Very attractive furnishing in a mix of typical Umbrian furniture and my personal touches of shabby chic! The garden has 70 olive trees, rosemary and lavender bushes and many fruit trees including fig, plum, apple, pear, apricot, pomegranate and cherry. Roses bloom in every colour in May-July and September - October. Guests will be able to sample my olive oil! You can enjoy the long summer nights listening to the crickets and the owls and watching the stars!

I am very happy to share my lovely house with guests from all over the world who love nature, Italian food and the Italian countryside and will be able to give you lots of tips and suggestions to make your stay memorable. During your stay I am able to organise a wine tour in Umbria (visiting Orvieto, Montefalco and the Lago di Corbara) or in Tuscany or further afield. This would be coordinated through Secret Cellars, run by my cousin Stefano Borelli, a qualified sommelier.

Only 5 minutes drive to Lugnano in Teverina, one of the "Borghi piu Belli di Italia". Only 10 minutes drive through oak forests to the ancient hill-top town of Amelia with its pre-Roman walls, cathedral and many restaurants and activities. Other incredible historic Umbrian hill towns to explore in every direction, Narni (25 mins) Todi (50 mins) Orvieto (30 mins) Spoleto (1 hr) and the volanic lake Bolsena (40 mins). The house is situated only about 10 minutes drive through the countryside from the motorway exit of Attigliano, so is very handy for heading down to Rome or up towards Tuscany either of which are easily reachable for day trips about an hour either way. Fiumicino airport is approximately 1 hour 20 minutes drive.
