Style Notes

Italian charm. This beautiful villa was a farmhouse in the 19th century and has been lovingly restored, with artifacts from travels and family treasures. The hosts wanted to maintain the original Umbrian Tuscan atmosphere of the estate, and restore and decorated it with unusual details. It includes blackboard walls with cheerful slogans, wetroom bathrooms in multiple relaxing colors, library with 700 books, and statement lighting hanging over the main family dining area. Details are both interesting and soothing at the same time; modern touches set well with traditional terracotta tiling and exposed wood beams. The garden has a range of fruits trees; aromatic herbs include rows of lavender leading to the infinity pool. We love its color, authenticity and unique design.
