Set in the hills overlooking a beautiful Umbrian Valley, with uninterrupted views as far as Assisi, Casa San Gabriel is a collection of 4 farm cottages dating back to the 16th Century. Lovingly restored by the present owners, the cottages feature original beams, terracotta tiles and the latest technology giving ultimate comfort. Its position set among 3 acres of its own land and surrounded by olive groves and wooded hillsides, gives guests the utmost peace and tranquillity to relax and unwind and the opportunity to walk in the beautiful Umbrian countryside. There is accommodation for 10 in 3 totally independent cottages (2,4,4), all with private terraces, fully equipped kitchen, sitting / dining room, central heating and bathroom with shower. Only 5 kms from the main E45, but 1.5kms on a white road, means that the property is secluded but by no means remote with the nearby village of Pierantonio only 5 minutes drive and the local market town of Umbertide 10 minutes drive.
