Casa Pietrina - Three Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 8

When you see the wonderful home and the beautiful landscapes surrounding the village, you will understand how easily the owners fell in love with Casa Pietrina, nestled in the beautiful region of Umbria, also known as the ‘Green Heart of Italy’.



This charming three-bedroom farmhouse, located in a small countryside village, dates back to the 16th century. Its current owners acquired it only a few years ago after spending considerable time in their beloved Umbria. The home has been meticulously restored, preserving its character with impressive chestnut beams, hearty fireplaces, and arched doorways. The owners have also infused personality into the home with thoughtful additions such as inviting lighting, carefully chosen furnishings, artwork, books, and a range of contemporary features, including a Smart TV, a Bluetooth speaker, DVDs, and games. 



The brilliant kitchen-diner boasts a designer fridge-freezer, coffee machine, and marble worktops. Recent enhancements include a charming ‘winter garden’ room with a wood-burning fire and glass doors leading to the al-fresco dining area equipped with a barbecue. There is also an upper terrace offering views over the village and beyond. Finally, the large swimming pool is perfect for the summer months. It is situated below the house, overlooking the olive grove with stunning views.



Casa Pietrina offers a serene retreat with breathtaking views of the Umbrian valley, an expansive outdoor space, and a large pool set amidst a private olive grove. Perfect for families and groups, it provides easy access to the historic town of Spoleto, known for its rich cultural heritage and vibrant local markets. Nearby Trevi is famous for its high-quality olive oil, while Montefalco is celebrated for its exceptional wines, including the renowned Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG.



Umbria is a paradise for food and wine enthusiasts. The region’s cuisine features hearty dishes like truffle pasta, wild boar, and porchetta, all enhanced by exceptional local olive oil. Visitors can enjoy various activities, from exploring ancient Etruscan sites and medieval towns to hiking and cycling through lush forests and tranquil lakes. Unique experiences such as truffle hunting and wine-tasting tours at picturesque vineyards add to the charm.

Location:

Casa Pietrina is set in a small and authentic Umbrian village, just 12km from the delightful town of Spoleto and perfectly positioned to explore the best of this captivating region and beyond.

Drive up the narrow village lane and there is on-site parking for one or two small cars in a driveway. Alternatively you may find it easier to park in the square below and then walk up the stairs to the house.

There are some wonderful places to eat within a 5 to 10km drive - family-friendly trattorie, lovely pizzerias and a fantastic farm shop which has its own restaurant and amazing gelato. One of the next local villages, 7km away, is home to a well-stocked grocery store whilst there are larger supermarkets in Spoleto and Trevi, about a 15-minute drive away.

The idyllic Umbrian town of Spoleto is easily reached, just 12km away – admire its spectacular Ponte delle Torri, explore its historic lanes and soak up its authentic ambience. Nearby Trevi is also a delight, as are the enchanting perched villages of Montefalco, Spello and Bevagna, all within half an hour by car.

A little further, sample some of the gastronomic delights in Norcia (50km), possibly combined with walking or cycling in the amazing Sibillini Mountains, or head north towards Assisi (45km) with its historic treasures and world-famous sights.

Le Marche is also waiting to be discovered with precious towns such as Macerata and Ascoli Piceno 100km away and the glorious Adriatic coastline reached in around ninety minutes. Drive up to the magnificent Conero National Park, just south of Ancona, and visit one of Italy’s most beautiful beaches, Due Sorelle, by boat.

Closer to home in Umbria, there are endless cycling tracks, both on and off road, superb walking trails through the verdant landscapes of rolling hills, olive groves and vineyards or, for the most adventurous, white-water rafting along the Corno river.

Cookery lessons can be arranged for guests, as can tastings – sample some of Italy’s finest olive oil and try some excellent wines, especially around the vineyards of Montefalco where the DOCG Sagrantino is produced.     

Finally, spend the day in Rome by travelling on the fast train service from Spoleto, taking just 1 hr 20 mins to reach Italy’s splendid capital city.
