Villa near Perugia, Umbria
Property description
A unique and magical aura surrounds this villa. Set in the rolling hills of Umbria, Villa La Castellana is surrounded by undulating fields of sunflowers, grape vines, and olive and fruit trees. It offers privacy, relax and total peace. The strategical position in centre of Umbria is convenient to major highways so the ancient medieval towns of Umbria and Tuscany can be explored at leisure. Both Perugia and Assisi can be seen in the distance, while Todi, Gubbio, Spoleto, and Orvieto are less than half or an hour's drive. Going north to Tuscany, you can reach Florence within two hours. If your interest lies in sampling the famous Brunello wines of Monalcino, the Vino Nobile of Montepulciano, and Pecorino cheese of Pienza, these Tuscan towns are within an hour's drive. This lovingly restored 16th century friar's abbey with its own choir hall has been expanded to create a charming country retreat. The dinners at the long friar's table will give you unforgettable memories.
