The Umbria region

Those who love nature, the old traditions, tranquillity and the enjoyment of life , can only feel at home and love Umbria, the green heart of Italy.
With its profound roots in the past, it offers an unique testimony to the untouched Italian countryside. There is an ideal mix of nature, peace, genuine cooking, culture and an antique farming tradition.

A beautiful combination of rural and natural landscape constitutes one of its principal attractions.
It's a region which offers natural panoramas of a particular beauty, characterized by green valleys and rolling hills, uncontamined areas in which you can find rural houses, medieval villages, benedectine abbey, romanesque churches, Etruscan and roman sites that remind us of the many historical passages that have seen Umbria as protagonist through the centuries.

Spoleto / Poreta area

The house is situated on the edge of the historic centre of Poreta (12 kilometres from Spoleto) a small village which retains the character and charm of this region and has a 14th century castle overlooking it. The village is found beside The road of the extra-virgin olive oil which goes from Spoleto to Assisi. All the hills on the east side of this road are characterized by olive groves, which probably date from the roman period, terraced with stone walls. The landscape is dominated by the silver green colour of these trees which rises to a brilliant green of pine woods and oaks on the higher slopes. There are numerous castles still inhabited on the tops of the hills. Reaching the hill of Montefalco you see long rows of cultivated grapes and this is The road of the Sagrantino along which there are many small cantinas still producing the special D.O.C.G. wine. Following the rivers which flow through the nearby Valnerina, you can find the best examples of Romanesque churches in Umbria.
The place is great for people who love the peaceful and relax of the countryside and at the same time want to visit all the historic and artistic sites of Umbria (Spoleto, Assisi, Perugia, Deruta, Montefalco, Bevagna, Spello, Norcia, Cascia, Amelia, Narni) and of the south part of Tuscany (Arezzo, Cortona, Siena), and cities like Florence (2 hours) and Rome (1 hour and 30 minutes both by the train or tha car).

How to get there

Perugia is the nearest airport , 50 km (Alitalia + Ryan Air), but Roma Fiumicino has the most international flights: there you can also take the train to Spoleto and rent a car (Spoleto is 1 hour and 30 minutes from Rome, both by the car or the train).
