Perks for the Parents
This apartment in a restored stone farmhouse looks out over fragrant gardens and olive groves, and has a treehouse and play equipment for the kids plus a lovely shared and fenced pool. It sleeps up to 4 + 1. It would be an ideal apartment for parents with 2 or 3 young children. The hosts have thought of everything for a relaxing stay with kids. There are stair gates, a fenced pool with plenty of loungers, toys galore, and a private terrace with views for leisurely family meals al fresco. The hosts offer an in-house menu with a wide range of freshly prepared home-cooked Italian dishes, and even arrange a babysitter for a child-free evening or two.
Why Kids Love it
Younger visitors will love the play area around the swimming pool with its shaded pergola, play house and table football. Leading from the shaded terrace is a children’s play area and a tree house tucked away in the olive grove. The nearby river that has pools where you can swim or catch crabs. The swimming pool is fully fenced and has a shallow end with Roman steps, making it easy to enter for all ages and there is also a covered paddling pool for little ones. There are heaps of toys and books for young kids as well as high chairs, cribs, kids’ cutlery and more. Whenever possible, the hosts organize a weekly pizza-making session where kids can roll their own dough and select toppings before their creation is cooked in the woodburning pizza oven.

About the Location
This Santa Chiara residence is in rural Umbria, situated in a quiet river valley surrounded by olive groves and landscaped gardens. It’s a peaceful oasis and a great base to explore the surrounding area – the main sights of Umbria including Assisi, Perugia, Gubbio and Lake Trasimeno are all within a 30-minute drive. Take a stroll from the bridleway at the front of the house – you’re surrounded by stunning hiking routes over the rolling countryside. The local village of Pierantonio is a 30-minute walk where there are pizzerias, bars and festivals in the summer. Fly into Florence airport (2 hrs) or Rome (2 hrs, 30 mins).

Style Notes
Spacious, traditional, incredible views. This apartment is situated at the top of the farmhouse and has high ceilings giving it an airy feel. There are 2 large bedrooms with chestnut beams and solid wood floors that look out onto greenery. The family bathroom comes complete with a lovely freestanding slipper bath and a fabulous vintage marble sink. Décor is simple and Italian. We love the family friendly fun and play equipment for the kids; the cozy lounge; and the private terrace with far reaching views over the olive groves to Monte Tezio on the horizon.
