A Love Affair With Italy 🇮🇹

If, like us, you’ve been to Italy many times, this’ll be an om-coming for you. Italophiles, here is your chance to connect with everything that is so irresistible about Italy, in the quintessential Italian countryside.

Peaceful, unspoiled, elegant … our boutique villa has charming rooms with stunning views of the unspoiled hills of Umbria. We will be lovingly looked after in the great tradition of Italian hospitality, as the chef spoils us with healthy, organic cuisine.

Walls of stone, aged by the centuries. Gardens of manicured lawns and olive trees. The scent of lavender and rosemary filling the air. Walk the numerous paths running through the woods, and into the valley below. 

No wonder it was named one of “20 Best Places to Stay in Umbria” (— The Times)

If you’ve been with us on retreat before, you’ll know we blend activity with relaxation, whether in peaceful solitude or in the community of likeminded souls.

Optional excursions plus plenty of time to enjoy the salt-water swimming pool, or relax and read. Delight in the outdoor hot tub with breathtaking views of the valleys of Umbria. Sip an aperitivo on the verandah while watching the setting sun.

Perhaps take an invigorating walk through the olive grove and then let your tensions melt away with the treat of a spa massage. 

It’s all on offer here, in our peaceful paradiso.
