First of all, our system was not conceived to be the usual hotel-like structure. What we aim for is to have the guest feel he is a friend, invited for a vacation and for a special time to a private property furnished with all the conforts. Given the location of the facility it is natural that it should be for the guests a place of peace and relaxation, of the discovery of nature and of activities leading to psychological and physical well-being. We do not neglect, however, to organize or suggest cultural excursions a little different from those usually offered, which allow the visitor to experience an Umbria full of wonder, which is often too little known to the usual tourist. Today more than ever there is a need for close contact with an unspoiled, uncontaminated nature, a need to experience her rhythms and to recharge ourselves after periods of stress, of intense work, of demanding schedules, all of which have a deleterious effect on our health and on our mental equilibrium. The agriturismo is an old rural village, located 580 m above sea level, close to Orvieto, offering exceptional vistas. It is at a point where three regions meet: Umbria, Lazio, and Toscana. uagIt is surrounded by a fenced-in private reserve which is part of an agricultural complex of 60 hectares (woods, cereal fields, grassy areas, vegetable gardens, livestock.) The complex in turn lies in a pristine nature reserve of more than 6,000 hectares in extent, which offers the possibility of participating in excursions, either on foot, or on horseback, or on bicycle or simply to relax in an environment of unmatched beauty. Numerous wild animals live in the woods, and it is not difficult to meet them: foxes, hares, owls, pheasants, quail, porcupines, deer, roebucks, badgers, polecats, hawks, etc. The agriturismo is made up of several buildings and has also an old stone cellar with underground chamber and fireplace for wine tasting.

The villa is luxury itself, sporting a gym and indoor swimming pool/Jacuzzi, 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and several balconies. The generous external terrace overlooks the swimming pool and provides shade in the heat of the day. Take your morning coffee sitting on one of the balconies and splendour in the views of the swimming pool and gardens studded with scarlet hibiscus and crimson bougainvillea, the calm green hills and distant turquoise beaches. Each bedroom is fully air-conditioned for the hottest times of year. The kitchen is extensively equipped with everything a group of up to 10/12 could need for ease and comfort: a dishwasher, oven, large fridge, washing machine, microwave, sandwich toaster and meat grill. In addition, you can benefit from cable TV, a DVD player, an indoor gym, indoor heated pool/Jacuzzi, outdoor swimming pool and toddler pool.
