Situated on a verdant hillside, overlooking the Spoleto valley, this fairy-tale 15th century house is split into two charming apartments. Perfectly restored, using ancient materials, the house comes with all modern amenities. A 11x5m pool is set in a clearing in the olive grove, next to a flower-bedecked pergola and brass shower. Each apartment has a private garden with patio/terrace with a view and has its own entrance. The last part of the road leading to the house is unpaved, parking is just above the house or down by the pool-side. 20 steps lead down to the front entrance of the largest apartment for 6 guests, while 30 steps lead down to the entrance of the smaller apartment for four guests. Guests may rent one apartment or both. The whole house is an ideal place for 2 families, or simply a large group of friends.

Travel
Perugia airport (under 50km) is served by Ryanair. Rome's airports are 100km. Spoleto (5km driving) has a railway station. We think that a car is essential to get to explore the beauty of the surrounding area.
Distances
Spoleto is 5 km. Assisi, Perugia, Montefalco, Spello, Bevagna, Norcia, Trevi - all within 30 minutes driving time. Todi and Orvieto - 1 hour. Cortona - 1.5 hours. Siena - 2 hours. Florence - 2.5 hours
Further details
Beautiful Umbria is home to many urban jewels of Italy. Spoleto (home of the famous Spoleto Festival), Perugia, Assisi, Montefalco, Todi and Orvieto are just a few of the area's many cultural attractions, while the nearby town of Norcia is considered one of the gastronomic centers of Italy. The beautiful Valnerina valley and Monte Sibillini national park offer hiking, trekking, rock-climbing, white water rafting, mountain-biking, horse-back riding and other outdoor activities. Bazzano Inferiore, the site of the house, provides a charming glimpse into the days of old Italy. In Spoleto, however, guests may find cutting-edge art, excellent restaurants, shopping and even theatre and opera amidst medieval palazzos and Roman monuments. The area is justly famous for its olive oil, wine, and truffles.
