I Casalini di Alessandra (house)

Home description

In the heart of Umbria, down a private country road outside of the hill town of Narni, and near to Todi, Amelia, Terni, Viterbo, Orte, and further away Assisi and Perugia, nestles a charming family vacation home restored from an old stone Italian farmhouse. Set on a slope looking across the rolling, green hills of beautiful Umbria.

A spacious, but cosy, stone farmhouse converted with good taste to a delightfully stylish summer holiday home in an idyllic setting.

Idyllic 18th century farmhouse in the Green Heart of Umbria	With its own private Plunge Pool

The Umbria region

Umbria is a great spot for a vacation any time of the year - much like Tuscany but less crowded with tourists. Enjoy an authentic experience,wonderful food and local specialities, wine from the region, and excellent olive oil from the neighbouring farm.

Discover the Art and architecture of the town and then search for the various monasteries built high in the hills with stupendous views; in one of which St.Francis of Assisi spent time. Discover the local festivals in medieval streets, or take picnics up into the woods and relish the stunning vistas. May and June are the biggest festival times. Don;t miss the horses' race for the rings, food and crafts festivals that take place all spring and into summer.

Narni area

Where Via Flaminia eventually reached the end of the Nera gorge the Romans founded Narnia, on the site of a previous town they had conquered in 299 BC. The location of the Roman town is visible.Via Flaminia crossed the river on a very high and imposing bridge built as part of a major improvement of Via Flaminia ordered by Emperor Augustus. The Romans modified the original landscape in order to obtain a sort of long and narrow terrace at the top of the hill. Parts of the arches and walls of Narnia can still be seen at several points of today's Narni.

Narni suffered from the fall of the Roman Empire, but after the year 1000, due to its position on a main trading route, it profited from the recovery of the Italian economy. The town was situated at the perfect strategic position which made it easy to defend, but its inhabitants had to deal with internal strife and the main families lived inside house-towers: some of them were turned later into bell towers and they were spared by the XIVth century decrees of the papal government which placed limits on the height of private buildings.

Guestbook for I Casalini di Alessandra

1.Charming hosts, beautiful and stylish house, thoughtful comforts. Highly recommended. Thanks for a great week.

2. Suffice to say we enjoyed ourselves so much that it was a tearful farewell from the family. Our boys.......had got down pantomine routines of Madagascar the movie each afternoon at the plunge pool! More seriously though we had a wonderful week: the serenity, light at dusk, proximity to the beautiful towns of Todi, Orvieto and Assisi, myriad flavors of Gelato, simple local ingredients and above all the understated elegance of the facilities the house and graciousness of Rosamaria and Sandro was peerless.
