Farmhouse
Quiet Location in Countryside
Sleeps 6 (3 Bedrooms)
|
|
A recently-restored spacious 3-bedroomed Umbrian farmhouse in a quiet valley in the countryside just outside the medieval hill-town of Lugnano in Teverina. In restoring the house we have been careful to maintain as many of the existing features as possible and to re-use materials and stone, while creating a comfortable home with modern amenities within calm and uncluttered spaces. As part of our philosophy of environmental conservation we took the positive decision not to build a swimming pool.
