'La Chioccia' is a typical Umbrian stone country house or 'casale' which has been lovingly restored by the owners using traditional materials and beautiful furnishings. Today, 'La Chioccia' boosts all modern comforts, including wi-fi internet access, central heating and airconditioning. The grounds are immaculately tended, and the swimming pool and adjacent roofed terrace overlook a valley covered with olive groves and oak woods. Both our bed-and-breakfast and self-catering accommodations have beautiful beamed ceilings, terracotta tiled floors and traditional wooden furniture, respecting the character of the ancient farmhouse this property was once part of. The property is situated in a beautiful, sparsely populated green valley, some 20 min from Terni, the provincial capital, and about one hour north of Rome.

Further details
Umbria, the 'green heart' of Italy, will surprise visitors with its unique blend of nature, history, culture and cuisine. The green hills of Umbria are dotted with pittoresque medieval villages, of which many have changed very little over the centuries. Not to be missed are the charming little towns of Amelia, Narni, Todi, ... and of course the better-know cities of Perugia, Orvieto, Assisi and Spoleto, to name but a few. Nature lovers must see the lakes of Bolsena and Piediluco, the Oasis of Alviano, the fossil forest of Dunnaroba or the waterfalls of Marmore, the highest waterfalls of Europe. Those interested in Roman or Etruscan history should visit the ruins of Ocriculum, Carsulae, Tuscania, Tarquinia and Volci.
A trip to Umbria would not be complete without enjoying its cuisine. Excellent food and wine are just as much a part of the region's charm as its forests, frescoes, and castles. Wine and olive oil, the two absolute protagonists of Umbrian cuisine dating back to the Umbrians and the Etruscans, have modelled the landscape into a characteristic succession of vineyards and olive groves. Visitors can tour the region's many vineries, following for example the 'Strada dei Vini Etrusco'.
