About the home

A wonderfully typical umbrian stone farmhouse which has retained all of its original charm, yet giving you every modern comfort. The villa is set in stunning countryside close to a small village. Should you wish to go on any amount of country walks or should you wish to cycle, all you need to do is step outside the villa, likewise should you wish to go sightseeing you will find any number of wonderful places to visit within a half hour radius. Just to mention a few Cortona, Citta' di Castello, Gubbio, Assisi and many more are close by.

The Villa has an above average sized saline swimming pool (16 x 6), no chloring for those of you who would like to do some serious swimming. And there are several terraces from which to enjoy the fantastic views. There are 4 good sized bedrooms and 4 bathrooms for everyone to be happy. Furthermore, there is a seating area downstairs, another one upstairs in the original tobacco tower and another seating area on the covered terrace with sweeping views of the local countryside.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
Very high standard in bathrooms and kitchen with attention to detail, quality and design. There are 4 bathrooms, one for each bedroom all of a very high standard with excellent sanitary ware and very good showers. One of the bathrooms has a tub whereas all others have showers. The property has been restored using local materials and workmanship and has retained its traditional charm and at the same time offers every modernity necessary for a comfortable stay. The property is very bright and airy, all floors have beautiful terracotta tiles and all ceilings have been restored with the traditional umbrian tiles and beams. There is enough space throughout the property to either spend time together or apart depending on your wishes.

Further details outdoors:
Several terraces and outdoor areas for eating and relaxing, one of which is a large covered terrace acting as an outdoor sitting room with wonderful sweeping views over the countryside. Very good sized saline swimming pool with lovely views, large enough for some serious swimming. Large BBQ for those summer evening meals. Table tennis for when you have had enough of swimming and relaxing. Secluded enough to be private yet close enough to restaurants and cultural sights when you want to soak in some of the local culture.

The Umbria region

The Upper Tiber Valley or "Valtiberina" is a wonderful part of Italy still very unspoilt and very Italian. Umbria has an array of wonderful places to visit with towns such as Perugia and Citta di Castello, and more wonderful hilltop villages and towns then you can possibly visit. Being right on the Tuscan, Umbrian border it is ideally situated for visiting both of these areas.

The Upper Tiber Valley is historically quite a wealthy area through tobacco farming and crafts such as carpentry for example and hence the towns are very well preserved and looked after. From May to November there are an array of festivals happening in the region, which is still very traditional and proud of its roots. During the spring and summer there are flower festivals and music festivals throughout the region and in October and November the autumn festivals with local produce such as wild boar, porcini mushrooms and truffles.

The Citta Di Castello / Trestina area

The small town of Trestina is situated between Citta di Castello and Umbertide, both approx. 15 minutes away. Trestina is an agricultural area with predominantly tobbacco farming. The area is very beautiful with wonderful countryside and very close to many wonderful places to visit. Citta di Castello is a very pretty medieval city with some lovely sites, a great piazza, lots of festivals during the summer months and a very good market twice a week. Citta di Castello also houses the Burri collection (a modern art collection by the artist Burri who lived there.

The area called the Upper Tiber Valley is very beautiful and still very unspoilt. Being right on the Umbrian / Tuscan border you are able to easily visit both of these areas. With Arezzo close by, Perugia to the south, Lake Trasimeno 30 minutes away, Montone (said to be one of the most beautiful hilltop villages in Italy close by), Cortona and Castiglion Fiorentino 30 minutes away. This is a truly wonderful part of Italy. During the summer months there are more festivals, prdominantly music than you can wish for, with the most famous once being "Umbria Jazz" in Perugia, "Trasimeno Blues" by the lake of Trasimeno, and the Festival delle Nazione in Citta di Castello .

Guestbook for Villa Quercia

"We have had a great time in your beautiful house!!! What an amazing view all the way to Petrelle and even further. We managed to see quite a bit but almost had to drag the children from the pool because if it had been up to them we would have only seen the pool! Thank you so much for a lovely week and all the ideas (jazz in Perugia) we got. We definitely hope to come back" - July 09 - Matthezing Family - The Hague - Netherlands

"We all had an excellent and very memorable time staying at Villa Quercia. Thanks for creating such a lovely property in such beautiful surroundings. The location of Villa Quercia and the view down the valley is just stunning particularly at sun rise and early morning. We were very comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed the swimming pool as well as trips out to so many historic towns and cities. We will certainly recommend your property to family and friends let them know what a fabulous holiday destination it is." Jill Waters from London 2010.

"The saline pool was one of the best pools we have ever experienced, huge and so much better than chlorine! Wonderful spacious villa, so bright and airy, the bathrooms were all great not one that was substandard. The covered terrace was just the perfect spot for taking in the lovely views. All in all we had the perfect holiday, just the right combination of relaxation and culture." Melanie, Alan and family from Bath 2010
