Hills of Tranquillity

Hills of Tranquillity: Umbria

Amidst rolling hills and sweeping vineyards, this stone villa promises a serene Umbrian getaway. With a seasonal swimming pool, outdoor fire pit and dappled terrace perfect for alfresco dining, you won't be short on spots to soak up the swoon-worthy scenery. Inside, the design is charming and cosy, bursting with traditional character. Some may consider it a little dated, but we think that's part of the appeal. Two guests will share a sofa bed on the mezzanine, though – since privacy is limited, we think it's best for kids. Location-wise, you're just a short drive from the small medieval town of Gualdo Cattaneo, while Todi, Perugia and Assisi are all excellent options for day trips.

Home truths:
*At full capacity, two guests will sleep on a sofa bed. This is located on the mezzanine level above the living area and is semi-open to the space below. Privacy is limited when in use.
*The swimming pool is open seasonally. It's only available to use between the last Saturday in April and the first Saturday in October.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a free cot and high chair on request.
*Although there may be steps to climb here, there's a bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor.
*Due to the location, we highly suggest hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There's private parking for four vehicles here.
