Style Notes

Rustic luxury. This countryside villa has been sensitively restored with a beautiful stone exterior and terracotta roof tiling to blend seamlessly into the centuries old olive grove it’s set amongst. The interiors marry the historic charm of wooden beamed ceilings, feature stone walls and grand fireplaces with the modern elegance of sleek kitchen units, bright and colorful textiles, and statement glass chandeliers. Vintage treasures are set beside contemporary finds including sculpted lamps and pottery to create warmth and interest. We love the mix of wild nature and manicured beauty with rows of lavender and crisp lawns surrounded by wild, forested valleys. Stunning views of the Umbrian hills and local castle are afforded from the infinity pool and terraces, the perfect spot in which to enjoy a leisurely breakfast, dinner party or sunset aperitivo.
