Casa Santa Maria has been beautifully restored retaining it’s original medieval features. It enjoys an incredible panoramic position at the edge of the classic hilltown of Preci. Two large terraces offer stunning views of the surrounding hills and valleys - ideal to soak up the sun and immerse yourself in the tranquil atmosphere or perhaps enjoy the sunset followed by dinner under a canopy of stars. Guests have free use of a beautiful swimming pool (with bar and restaurant) just a three minute stroll along the traffic free streets of the town. Casa Santa Maria is within the Monti Sibillini National Park, one of the most beautiful areas of Italy and it is a haven for wildlife and wild flowers. The forgotten trails that crisscross the hills and mountains make it a walker’s paradise. Sample the excellent Umbrian cuisine with a friendly welcome in the restaurants, bars and shops, all within 10 mins walk. The cultural towns of Assisi, Perugia, Spoleto and Rome are all easy to visit.
