Only 8 kilometers outside historic Spoleto, nestled in a hidden valley in the foothills of the Apennine Mountains, lies the tiny village of Vallocchia. A village of approximately twenty homes, it is a quiet and friendly outpost where one can enjoy the peace and beauty of the mountains. Vallocchia offers a serenity and a way of life long forgotten in most parts of the world today. The house itself, located in the heart of the village, offers the utmost privacy. The house was originally an old farmhouse/tower that was lovingly restored by an Academy Award winning Italian art director. Vallocchia offers many wonderful nearby hiking opportunities, from treks to the ancient chestnut forest to spectacular hikes up into the mountains offering breathtaking views of this glorious mountain valley. Spoleto is just 10-15 minutes away by car. Here, one is centrally located for day trips to all of Umbria's wondrous history, art and nature.

Guest comments
Dear Kristine,The highlight of our trip has been our week in Vallocchia. Your home could not have been more wonderful. The house was filled with light and gentle breezes. We had lots of fun cooking dinner while listening to opera and then afterwards enjoying our meal on the terrace. The wild strawberries were amazing. We also liked reading and doing watercolors in the mornings. We had three great dinners in the garden at al Palazzaccio. We mentioned your names and just as you said, they took wonderful care of us. The Italian dinners were also very warm. We had fun exploring various hill towns-old favorites and new ones. Norcia was a nice surprise and the drive to Sibilini was spectacular. We were blown away by the view as we came over the high ridge and caught our first glimpse of the velvety green of the valley, only to discover that it was actually carpeted by wildflowers. We also saw a baby boar (half the size of the cat!) one morning just after leaving the village. It ran out of t
