LIMONAIA (cottage)

Home description

The cottage used to be a stable. Restored in 1991 with cotto floor it has maintained its rustic semplicity. There is a very large studio room, a bathroom and kitchen with fireplace. The property is situated in a sunny valley, ideal for relaxing in the swimming pool surrounded by a flower garden, after visiting the beautiful Umbrain country side near the town of Amelia.

Limonaia is part of La Fontana, a rustic Umbrian Farmhouse with a main house and three small cottages that are rented weekly. The seven acres of the property, bought by April Davis more than 20 years ago, include the olive grove, the orchard and the garden, a mixture of Mediterranean and English taste with a variety of flowering shrubs and trees, cypresses and oaks.

The Umbria region

La Fontana is situated in the Amerino county, just on the Lazio/Umbria border. There are few areas in the world with so many cultural, archaeological and architectural sites of interest. Amelia is the ideal starting point for discovering a delightful countryside without the inconvenience of mass tourism.

LAZIO
Everyone know Rome but Lazio has much to offer to the enterprising visitor. We recommend a visit to Viterbo, Tuscania, Tarquinia, Villa Lante at Bagnaia, Caprarola and the abandoned town of Civita di Bagnoreggio. There are numerous lakes nearby: Bracciano, Bolsena and Vico while the sea is only one hour by car, with some very nice beaches.

UMBRIA
In Umbria, a region that has gained a name for being the green heart of Italy, tourism is growing because of the natural beauties, the antiquities and the historic centres of the region. The quiet countryside, good wine and an inimitable cuisine are a pleasant extra. Main cities to visit: Perugia, Orvieto, Spoleto, Assisi, Todi, but there are also many charming little towns and villages such as Narni, Lugnano in Teverina, Ferentillo, Stroncone, Labro and Norcia that are well worth a visit. Hard by also lie the vast ruins of the Roman city of Carsulae. Very close to Terni are the beautiful waterfalls of Marmore.

Amelia area

Amelia is sited on rolling hills, bordered on the north by thick woods and on the south by olive groves and vineyards. The walls originate from the pre-Etruscan period (700 BC) while the town has maintained its medieval plan without significant change in centuries. From the Roman period the most striking vestiges are the ancient cisterns and the statue of Germanico.

How to get there

Amelia is 90km from Rome via motorway. Fly to Rome Fiumicino with regular flights or Ciampino with low cost flight such as Ryanair, etc. Other airports in Florence, Pisa or Perugia. Car rentals in all airports.
