Domus Nova is just outside Gualdo Tadino in the heart of the countryside near the Appenine Mountains covered in forests. Spoleto, Spello, Assisi, Gubbio and Perugia are all within easy reach. Come in May/June to see the wonderful alpine meadows when the temperature is also ideal for sightseeing and walking. In September and October the weather is just that bit cooler. Gualdo Tadino hosts a 3 day medieval festival at the end of September. The house has a very large garden and pool and a terraced vineyard (we make our own wine). There are 3 self contained units with independent entrances. The Owl sleeps up to 8 in 4 double bedrooms. The Rabbit sleeps 4 in two double bedrooms and La Casetta, in the vineyard, sleeps 2. Each apartment has its own terrace. They all have communal use of the garden, pool, sunbeds, umbrellas, barbeques, boules run, table tennis and the direct help from the Italian English owners who live there. You can even learn how to make pasta!

Notes on accommodation
We offer good value accommodation and comfort in our 3 apartments. There is a cot available. Air conditioning is not needed as the house remains cool inside. Heating available at extra cost. We have had many children to stay who are fascinated by the garden and its wildlife and of course they love the pool!

There are 2 terraces around the pool with sunbeds and umbrella. The pool is for everyone's use. Early and later in the season, the pool water is heated by solar panels. There's a boules run with a terrace, benches and table. There's a communal wood burning oven and table tennis. The large garden is planted with ornamental trees, roses and shrubs plus fruit trees and, of course, the vineyard.

The lovely beaches of Sirolo and the Conero are just over an hour away from us. Lake Trasimeno also has beaches and you can take a boat to visit the 3 islands there.
