How do you fancy waking up each morning to find yourself above the clouds, stepping out onto a private Loggia, and tucking into breakfast on a breath-taking hillside in the valleys of Perugia? Welcome to Villa Nebbiosa, a traditional Italian stone farmhouse bordered by pine trees and olive groves, restored to offer a blissful, luxury accommodation experience.
Staying true to the landscape that defines this property, the owners have been sure to restore it with traditional local materials, and it in fact boasts a very low carbon footprint. Stepping inside, gorgeous four poster beds, wardrobes and other stylish wood furnishings make centrepieces for characterful bedrooms.
The stylish private swimming pool is surrounded by slate tiles and sits overlooking the valley, offering quaint rural vistas and an amazing point from which to watch the sunset.
The spacious dining and living areas create a magical setting for evenings entertaining friends, and the farmhouse kitchen is fully equipped, combining subtle farmhouse features with a wealth of modern amenities. When it’s a little more peace and quiet you desire, the surrounding grounds offer many idyllic walks in the wild countryside that surrounds.
If you do want to venture further afield the house has an abundance of books detailing the area's most secluded spots. There is also plenty of fascinating history and culture in the nearby medieval village of Citta di Castello and don't miss the authentic restaurants and weekly market in Umbertide.
Other wonderful gems of Umbria include the picture-perfect villages of Montone, Gubbio and Assisi, spend time by the shores of Lake Trasimeno, explore the beautiful town of Perugia or cross the Tuscan border to Cortona, an idyllic village made especially fanous by Frances Mayes' 'Under The Tuscan Sun'.

Location:
Villa Nebbiosa enjoys a wonderful location in the province of Perugia with far-reaching views of the valley, surrounded by woodland, vines and olive trees. Perugia Airport is 51km away whilst Florence Airport is around 2 hours by car.
It’s reached via a 4km long track (unpaved, therefore a suitable car is needed) which winds into the woodland and you are rewarded with the most beautiful setting and Umbrian vistas around you. You can walk through the surrounding woodland, looking out for an abundance of wildlife. Heading back to the main road, there’s a bar and grocery store around 10 minutes away by car or drive to the local village for useful amenities including restaurants, bars, shops, three supermarkets and a train station with connections to Perugia.
Visit the large town of Umbertide (20km) to admire its historic architecture, soak up the ambience of its weekly market and dine out in authentic Umbrian restaurants trying out regional specialities such as polenta alla cacciatora and dishes made with locally sourced truffles. Art-lovers should visit Museo Santa Croce, a former church which is now a museum displaying important works of art.
Città di Castello (19km) is another artistic gem of this region, close to the Tuscany border, home to stunning palazzi, gorgeous squares and the town’s historic art collection including works by local artist, Alberto Burri.
Elsewhere in Umbria, enjoy lunch surrounded by the most sensational views in the perched village of Montone (19km) or venture to medieval Gubbio (50km) and ride on its historic funicular to Basilica of Sant'Ubaldo for more incredible vistas. Discover the beauty of Lake Trasimeno and its many lakeside activities (cycling, walking, summer watersports and boat trips) or drive further south to the famous town of Assisi (70km).
The university town of Perugia (54km) is another gorgeous Umbrian destination or you may prefer to drive north, crossing the Tuscan border, to the wonderful city of Arezzo (64km) with its impressive Piazza Grande.
Remaining in southern Tuscany, picture-perfect Cortona (39km), made especially famous by Frances Mayes’ ‘Under The Tuscan Sun’, is another brilliant day out, as is the Renaissance village of Montepulciano (74km) with its glorious vineyards producing one of Italy’s most finest wines, Vino Nobile de Montepulciano.
