Situated in a wild-life private reserve, on a slope of a hill in the
neighbourhood of Amelia, it is an enchanting property consisting of 2
beautiful adjacent stone houses. In perfect harmony with the landscape, the
two stone houses have been furnished in a simple but warm way in order to
re-propose the typical taste of the farmhouses. The property is composed of
3 units, each unit has: 2 bedrooms, a divan bed in the dining/living room,
cooking corner, bathroom and covered outside place with table and chairs.
It's also possible to rent the whole property (15 bed places + 4 divan bed places); in
this case it is possible to eat all together in the spacious living room
located in the unit AM-SU-L7, where the stone fireplace creates a delightful
atmosphere and it's ideal for lovely and tasty dinner among friends. If you
would like to eat all together outside then you can use the large covered
terrace.
There is also a 14x7 meter swimming pool with roman stairs available to the
tenants.
The owner
has a restaurant 200 meters from the property, where it is possible to try
typical local dishes. For the lovers of nature, relax and quietness, walks
are possible along country paths through the woods, there are also 2
mountain bikes at disposition.
SOUTHERN/CENTRE UMBRIA
In Umbria, a region that has gained a name for being the green heart of
Italy, tourism is growing because of the unfamiliar harmony between
nature, antiquities, historic centres and culture. The quiet of the
countryside, good provisions and an inimitable cuisine are the great
draw. This region is less touristy than Tuscany and this is
especially appreciated by many tourists.
Southern/centre Umbria
forms an ideal starting point for enjoying the peace of the surrounding
hilly and mountainous landscape and on the other hand making trips to
beautifull towns like Todi, Orvieto, Narni, Spoleto, Perugia, Gubbio,
Assisi. There are also numerous charming little villages – many of medieval
origin - as Amelia, Labro, Spello, Norcia, Bevagna, Montefalco to visit. In
many towns and villages you can taste local dishes or buy local wines and
olive oil (generally of excellent quality). You can also easily visit – in
day trips - famous towns and charming villages in the southern part of
Tuscany such as Siena, Arezzo, San Giminiano, Pienza, Cortona, Sinalunga,
etc. Many tourists visit also Rome from here (without staying in the city
which is very hot in summer) once or more times. It is possible to go by car
(journey of 1h-1h30) or by train from the stations of: Terni, Narni-Amelia,
Orte & Orvieto.
We
must not forget the mountains with some splendid woods, e.g. Terminillo (up
to 2000 metres by car). In around 1 hour it is possible to reach the
shimmering lakes of Bracciano, Vico, Piediluco, Bolsena and Trasimeno. The
Mediterranean Sea (mostly sand beaches) situated between Tarquinia and
Chiarone are 90-120 Kms away (around 1h20-1h40 driving). Near the city of
Terni you can also visit the Marmore falls (165 meters, one of the highest
of Europe), there is nearby also a rafting/canoeing/hydrospeed center.
