Villa Ariete (villa)

Home description

Villa Ariete is a beautifully restored farmhouse located in the heart of Umbria. The villa has its own designer pool sat atop a hill with amazing views in all directions. The villa is extremely flexible as it is broken up into three separate apartments, but interconnecting doors can be opened to create one very large property; great if you have two or three family groups holidaying together.

Guests can easily visit the beautiful hill towns of Umbria or just relax and unwind by the pool or in the extensive gardens, including lawn, olive groves and a small vineyard. The small village of Migliano has a small cafe and an restaurant in the castle (open at weekends). The restaurant attracts visitors from all around the region where its specialties include homemade pasta and wild boar.

The Umbria region

Umbria is a fabulous place to visit all year round, with wonderful hill towns, amazing restaurants and a history that stretches back far before the Romans. The list of places to visit is endless, I have been coming to this area for over ten years and I still have places left to explore including the wine museum at Torigiano and the renowned hill town of Gubbio.

My personal favourites are Orvieto, with its underground caves and crisp white wine and Montefalco, much smaller in scale, but with red wine that really packs a punch and a lovely square for an afternoon stroll. Lake Trasimeno is also well worth a visit with a castle, boat rides and quiet islands.

Todi / Marsciano area

Migliano is a small hilltop town with a fortified castle and a recently discovered Roman ruins part of an ongoing archeological dig.

Within the Castle there an excellent restaurant serving fresh pasta, wild boar and truffle dishes both found in the woods surrounding Ariete. There is also a small cafe in the village.

All the local villages hold there own festivals throughout the summer all of which offer a fabulous way to experience typical Italian food and music. Migliano has its own which is one of the most popular in the region regularly attracting up to 1000 people.

Marsciano is the nearest local town with a pretty historic town centre and all the necessary facilities including supermarkets, banks, pharmacies and other local shops. It also has a number of good restaurants and pizzerias. There is also a market on Monday mornings which is a great adventure!
