The Temptation of the Rose

The Temptation of the Rose: Umbria

Nestled on an estate and surrounded by 500 hectares of rolling hills, this 18th-century home boasts a large private pool and lots of outdoor space. The home itself is made up of three separate apartments, each with its own space to relax and dine. The traditional decor feels a little dated and won't be to everyone's taste, but the unique and stunning location puts this home a cut above the rest. The gardens are ideal for children or pets to play, and there's space for alfresco dining and soaking up the sun. Although we love the seclusion and tranquillity here, you'll want a car for getting around and visiting the city of Perugia.
