Description
With wonderful views of the surrounding Umbrian hills, Villa Elice is a warm and welcoming holiday home which enjoys a beautiful setting between Perugia and Todi, allowing you to explore the best of this alluring and hospitable region.
This farmhouse has been sensitively renovated by its loving owners who have created an inviting home filled with charm and character. Exposed stonework and original wood-beamed ceilings feature alongside comfortable furnishings, some of which have been crafted locally. In cooler months gather by the working fireplace in the downstairs lounge whilst in the summer French windows open up to the glorious grounds. Six pretty bedrooms can be found across the two floors as well as five shower rooms in this authentic and spacious abode.
Admire the majestic pine trees that stand proudly in front of the villa as you gather with family and friends to dine on the al-fresco terrace having created a feast in the wood-fired oven. Wander across to the swimming pool surrounded by olive trees, relax on a sun-lounger or find a shady spot in the glorious and verdant gardens.
With a hillside setting, the house is located near a beautifully restored borgo which dates back to the medieval times. A little further afield you can visit the vineyards of Montefalco, see the world’s smallest theatre in Montecastello di Vibio or admire the frescoes in Bevagna. Both Todi and Perugia can also be reached in under half an hour or discover the historic treasures of other archetypal Umbrian towns such as Assisi, Spello and Orvieto.
Closer to home, hike through the Umbrian hills or seek out mountain bike trails whilst the most adventurous can find watersports and quad biking at Lake Trasimeno, under an hour away. Try the region’s excellent olive oil or spend autumnal days searching for truffles in the forests that cover this incredible region. With such remarkable landscapes and outstanding natural beauty, it’s no wonder Umbria is widely known as the Green Heart of Italy. /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.
