Umbertide · 整套民居 · 3室3床3.0卫 · 可住6人 · Farmhouse w/ private pool, scenic views in Umbria
This 3-bedroomed, semi-detached farmhouse (parts of it are 500 years old) with private pool sits on a hillside overlooking the lush Umbrian countryside. The garden has three alfresco dining areas for you to soak up La Dolce Vita. All the joys of Tuscany and Umbria are on your doorstep. You can explore the local markets, historic towns (Assisi, Arezzo, Florence, Siena, Gubbio, Cortona), visit vineyards, take cooking lessons, or simply enjoy outdoor activities in the tranquil surroundings. This rustic farmhouse is setup as two fully equipped independent apartments with separate entrances. It's ideal for small groups or families who want to be together while also retaining a bit of privacy. Although the house is semi-detached it feels very private and if you are lucky enough to bump into the neighbours they are an older Italian couple who are supremely hospitable. The house retains the natural beauty of its rustic and humble origins. Carefully preserved original features such as old gnarly wooden beams, wonky terracotta floors and a magnificent stone bread oven, all give a unique timelessness to the dwelling. GROUND FLOOR The entrance has a porch with an historic bread oven built into the side of it. There are two double bedrooms. One has a spacious bathroom with bath, shower, bidet, sink and toilet. The other bedroom has an ensuite bathroom with shower, sink and toilet. A small utility room is also situated on this floor. In true Italian style, there is a large family kitchen at the heart of the house. While all the appliances are modern, the look and feel is true to its farmhouse origins. The dining table comfortably seats 10 people and has been the scene of many a lively dinner. The kitchen leads out onto a small courtyard with a kitchen garden and steps that lead down to the pool. TOP FLOOR Past the entrance is a cosy living room comprising two sofas (one of which is a new sofa bed) and a fireplace. There is also a traditional style kitchen with a dining table for 4 people. The majestic and spacious master bedroom sits at the end of this floor. Adjacent to the bedroom is a large bathroom with bath, shower, toilet, sink and bidet. THE OUTSIDE AREAS There are three great seating areas outside for you to make the most of the alfresco lifestyle while enjoying gorgeous views. The first is the pergola that is next to the pool (10x5m) and the sun lounger area so you can enjoy lunch while the kids play in the pool. The massive table comfortably seats 10 people (pictures coming soon as this is new). This area is very private and set down to the side of the house overlooking a valley of oak trees. The second area is on the other side of the house where there is a large terrace area with a table for 6 that overlooks the olive grove and rolling farmlands that surround the house. It is a perfect spot to have a sundowner/eat dinner and watch the sunset. The third area is a small kitchen terrace and herb garden that is a great spot to catch the early morning sun with a fresh cup of coffee.
Mitten in der Natur, aber nah genug am nächsten Ort um morgens den ersten Espresso auf der Piazza zu trinken. Ein herrlicher Ort um Ruhe am Pool zu finden aber auch Ausflüge in die kulturell wichtigen Orte machen zu können. Henrietta hat sich sehr gut aus der Ferne um uns gekümmert.
Wij verbleven hier als koppel met 2 dochters en een bevriend koppel - ideaal! We waren samen maar hadden ieder ook onze eigen ruimte. Het is echt een geweldig huis met veel karakter en charme en het zicht is adembenemend. De aperitieven en diners die we samen klaarmaakten om er daarna bij zonsondergang van te genieten zal Ik nooit vergeten! Veel mooie dorpjes in de buurt, leuke marktjes, Arezzo en natuurlijk wijn! het was volop genieten en ik hoop ooit terug te komen naar deze heerlijke plek
What a fantastic place to stay. Perfect for two family groups. Beautiful views for miles around. Henrie our host was always available through WhatsApp, to advise on where to visit and what was going in the local area. We would recommend this to family groups.
Right on your doorstep is the local vineyard (approx. 3km). The thriving historic market town is just 5km away and has all amenities including large supermarkets, artisan shops and plenty of restaurants. There is also a great artisan market on Saturdays and local produce market on Wednesdays (8am to 1pm). One of Italy's best-preserved, medieval hilltop towns, Montone, is also close by.
The house provides a tranquil retreat where you can relax and unwind yet slightly further afield you also can make day trips to Florence, Assisi, Arezzo, Perugia, Cortona, Gubbio and Siena.
OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES
The countryside offers an abundance of outdoor activities. Whether you want a stroll or a hike, simply step outside the front door and start walking. There are many glorious trails just a little further afield. Other activities include golf, horse-riding, climbing, canoeing, and motorbike riding, just to mention a few.
A guide to the local area and all that it has to offer is kept in the house so you can make the most of your stay.
The nearest airport is Perugia International Airport in Santa Egidio about 30 mins drive from the house. You can hire a car at the airport. Depending on where you are coming from you may wish to fly to other larger airports and then drive to the house:
Florence (2hrs)
Siena (1.5hrs)
Rome (3hrs)
自我介绍
We love the house because: The original features are preserved and it has a rustic old-world charm. You can feel its history as a once working farmhouse. You can sit in different areas outside and get completely different views and experiences. The house just feels earthy and wholesome. We first visited Italy in 2014 and, like so many before us, fell in love with its charms. The culture, the history, the nature, the care that is taken over food and wine and the generosity of spirit of the people that we’ve met, particularly in the region where the house is. We started looking for a house to provide a base nearer to family in England and be a contrast to the busy lives we lead working in Asia. On our first day of house hunting we fell in love with Casa Battistacci and by the end of the year, we had the keys! Our favourite thing about the house is that you can leave all the hustle and bustle of your daily life and truly relax and unwind in this lovely space.
