Green With Ivy

Green With Ivy: Umbria

Nestled away in the tranquil Italian countryside sits this traditional villa, based in the comune of Gualdo Cattaneo in the Province of Perugia. Ideal for those looking for perfect peace, this home feels secluded and special, with vast rolling hills surrounding it that make a great frame for stunning sunsets on summer evenings. From the outside, it looks simply spellbinding, with climbing ivy, old cobblestone, wooden beam supports and window shutters – and the inside is just as enchanting, with classical decor and elegant furniture, all blended with unique art pieces to create a home to remember.

You can wake up on summer mornings and watch the sunrise from the covered patio area, while you sip on your cappuccino. Enjoy a long soak in the bathtub before going downstairs to cook up a hearty Italian breakfast in the fully-equipped country kitchen. Head outside for a dip in the private pool, or take your place for the day on a poolside lounger and soak up some sun. In the evening, gather in the shaded dining area to sip on Prosecco while you watch the sky turn pink.
