Description
In the green heart of Italy, perfectly positioned between two of Umbria’s finest gems, Perugia and Todi, lies Casa Betulla, a characterful 4-bedroom abode in a beautiful setting with its own private swimming pool.
In this delightfully renovated farmhouse each of the two floors is a self-contained apartment, each featuring a cosy living room, well-equipped kitchen, two simple bedrooms and a bath or shower room. This makes Casa Betulla especially ideal for a stay with extended family or a small group of friends, allowing each group a little privacy on their own level. Throughout the casa there’s a sense of warmth and charm with typical Umbrian features such as exposed stone walls, original fireplaces and rustic furnishings. With its unpretentious ambience, there’s no doubt you are in the heart of this inviting and authentic region.
Outside, relax in the spacious grounds gazing at the majestic trees and countryside beyond. Dine with family and friends on the covered porch after creating a feast by the pizza oven or barbecue, perhaps accompanied by some excellent wine from the Montefalco vineyards just a short drive away. The elegant swimming pool and its inviting poolside terrace have been fenced off for a sense of reassurance when staying with the youngest of guests.
Set on a hillside, there are plenty of walking and mountain biking opportunities close by or you may prefer to spend your days visiting some of the idyllic villages and towns that Umbria is so famous for. From Todi and Spello to Assisi and Orvieto, there are many historic treasures to uncover and medieval lanes to explore. Not forgetting the beautiful city of Perugia, home to one of Italy’s oldest universities.
This part of Umbria is also known for it’s truffles and extra virgin olive oil, making late autumn visits a particular delight, although at any time of year you will be able to appreciate the wholesome Umbrian cuisine of pasta, legumes, cheeses, pork and wild boar, accompanied by fine regional wines. To burn off some energy head to the glorious Lake Trasimeno for summer watersports or drive to the Nera River Park and the Marmore waterfalls for hiking, cycling and more. /n Security deposit /n €500 paid in cash to the owner upon arrival and refunded upon departure, subject to full inspection. /n Arrival time /n 4.00 p.m. /n Departure time /n 10.00 a.m. /n Energy costs included? /n Extra cost based on consumption, payable locally. /n Heating costs included? /n Extra cost based on consumption, payable locally. /n Linen & towels included? /n Yes. /n Pool towels included? /n Yes. /n Pool opening dates? /n The pool is open approximately May to September.
