The organic produce from our garden
The apartment overlooks woodland and hills covered in olive groves and vineyards, where shepherds tend their sheep. One can hear the distant bells from a neighbouring village church and the sweet sound of bird song. In in the autumn enjoy the intoxicating scent from the log fires.
From our garden one can see the ruins of 4 castles. Umbria is famous for the sheer number of fortified hilltop villages, most from the medieval period. Within minutes from our door wild boar roam the woods at night, yet we are less than 30 minutes drive from the bustling town of Perugia. Here one can find the contrasts of tranquility & bustling activity. From our village one can take the most beautiful walks through the countryside.
Umbria specializes in succulent meats, olive oil, cheeses, wild mushrooms & asparagus, the world's finest truffles, not forgetting wine. One can try the local specialties in a variety of lovely ristorante & pizzarias.
