Cara Mia

Cara Mia: Umbria

Set against the backdrop of Umbria’s green rolling hills and topaz sky, this exposed stone villa on the outskirts of Città della Pieve holds the promise of uninterrupted rest and relaxation. Inside, a blend of elegance and farmhouse traditionalism creates a feeling of unmistakable serenity in the living room, with its beamed ceilings and simple hearth adding warmth and rustic flair. Paired with the dining room’s ornate chandelier and the bright, modern kitchen, the home wears its country chic style with effortless grace. Factor in the three comfortable bedrooms with their countryside views, including the enviable master bedroom’s private balcony, and you’ve got rural romance in spades. Outside, the large swimming pool with its waterfall feature is where you’ll want to spend long, sunny afternoons, while evenings call for poolside drinks around the well–style table as you watch the sun set behind the hills. Fire up the grill while the little ones entertain themselves in the garden’s playhouse and slide, then gather together for an alfresco meal under the pergola as the stars come out one by one.
