Description
The residence is made of one farm house of the end of XIX century, skilfully refurbished, sited in the marvellous valley of Villamagna, immersed in Umbria Appennines' quiet and green. The place is surely ideal to leave back the city smog and confusion and to enjoy pleasant moments customised for men and children, necessary to reload one's body and mind.
The two and three rooms apartments, all with kitchenette and TV, are finely furnished. Thanks to stone, wood and fire our guests will taste the warm atmosphere of a charming past.
Wide common halls are ready for groups.
Outside there are play areas for children, these last, promenading with their parents, will possibly have the chance to meet some wild animals as foxes, and surely our horses, cows, pheasants.
Here is possible to choose among an healthy trekking across the hills, or visiting the most beautiful cities of art of Umbria and Marche, or maybe enjoying one's friends and family company around an appetizing barbecue in a warm summer night.
The accommodation has 5 apartments available, too. You will find a description of them here.
