Exuding warmth and character, Casale Le Spighe is a beautifully restored villa set in its own verdant parkland, close to the village of Giove (3km) at the southern tip of Umbria. A charming ambience prevails throughout the property, with wood beams, cotto floors, interesting paintings and colourful rugs creating the perfect backdrop to classic Umbrian furniture. The added attraction of a billiard table on the ground floor, alongside the comfortable lounge, will provide entertainment for guests of all ages. On the first floor, there is an additional sitting room and study, as well as the master bedroom. The bedrooms are beautifully decorated, spacious and comfortable. Outdoor living is equally appealing with ample dining terraces, an expanse of lawn and a larger than average swimming pool complete with whirlpool corner.   Essential amenities including a couple of restaurants can be found in Giove, one of many pretty hilltop towns to be found in this area of Umbria and its neighbouring region, Lazio. A meander along the country lanes will take you through stunning countryside and lead you to some fascinating villages and towns, and no doubt, a restaurant or two offering a tempting lunchtime menu. For those seeking city sightseeing, historic Orvieto, with its magnificent cathedral perched high on an outcrop, is half an hour away.  And finally, glorious Rome is easily accessible by car or train for a day trip. The owners respectfully request that guests do not smoke inside the house. null
