Perks for the Parents

Secluded within the spellbinding Umbrian hills and yet only 1 hour from Rome, this stunning, tranquil Italian farmhouse has views of a medieval town, a saltwater pool surrounded by olive trees, a yoga studio and gym, and a garden perfect for lounging, surrounded by flowers and Mediterranean herbs. It sleeps 14 + 2. Surrounded by fields and olive groves, the villa has big and carefully curated bedrooms to rest and dream. A separate barn, the former stables, houses a dining room – perfect for big, family feasts in style. Reached by a private drive with ample parking space, the villa is private, peaceful and luxurious.

Why Kids Love it

The lovely gardens here provide space to play with fruit trees to pick a few treats for breakfast, and the large saltwater pool will provide hours of fun for the kids. For a freshwater dip, you can hop in the car for 15 minutes to Mole di Narni, a beautiful, crystal clear swimming spot at the bottom of a narrow river valley. For more water fun, there’s the impressive Marmore waterwall, made by the Romans, and for kids interested in history, check out the Roman cities of Carsulae, and Acquasparta, all within half an hour of the villa. Or head to Rome to see where lions and gladiators used to fight in the Colosseum.

Style Notes

Heavenly rustic luxury. This 18th century farmhouse has been renovated with the utmost care, mixing old and new. Wood-burning stoves, thermal energy panels and a rainwater recycling system marry with old stone walls and vintage pieces. Terracotta tiles have been made to an original design, walls are painted in traditional limewash, and the ironwork has been forged by local artisans. Dotted around are pieces by contemporary designers including chairs by Artemide and a Davide Groppi moon lamp illuminating the staircase. Large arched windows allow the sunlight and views of the landscape to pour in. Sustainability and natural textures abound in the comfortable and elegant bedrooms where you’ll find natural aloe vera foam mattresses, vintage hand-woven linens, pillows stuffed with organic spelt chaff and antique furniture. We love the design touches including handmade terracotta washbasins are by ceramicists Ripa Bianca, and the mature garden with old-fashioned scented roses and an abundance of other flowers with lots of places to sit, lounge or dine.
