Silence of Nature

Silence of Nature: Lazio

Lined with cherry trees blossoming elegant flowers in the springtime and juicy fruits in the summer, this country farmhouse invites guests to experience the silence of nature on its impressive grounds bursting with greenery and beautiful wildlife.

Inside, simple designs accentuate the home's original features and traditional Italy – think terracotta floors, exposed wooden beams and floods of natural daylight via the large windows overlooking the garden and surrounding landscape. When it's sunny, you'll likely want to spend much of your time outside. Open up the living room's French windows and find your perch under the pergola – here, you'll get to take in the tranquillity of the meadows and watch the grazing horses of the surrounding countryside passing by.

Take a dip in the private swimming pool, or soak up the sunshine on the loungers in total seclusion – the natural shade of the trees fringing the garden fragrance the air and offer cooler areas to relax out of the sun if preferred too. The ideal haven for those seeking a calming atmosphere and privacy immersed in a rural landscape – this home is likely to leave you feeling refreshed and revitalised after just one night.

Set in the greenest and one of the most majestic regions of Italy, the farmhouse is just a short drive away from the Etruscan town of Orvieto – well worth a visit. Steeped in history, you'll find many castles and churches dotted throughout the scenic hills and villages of the Umbria region. With three mountain bikes available at home, adventure seekers will have a field day exploring the unpaved roads and trails in the surrounding woodlands.
