Casa Umbra 6
Villa and pool for 6 in Umbria
Nice little touches
- This villa is in its own private wooded valley and feels very private.
- The air-conditioning is a welcome recent addition.
Good to know
- The last section of the drive to the house is steep, first down then up - you will need to be in first gear and go steady. Not suitable for low clearance cars
A beautiful villa for six, Casa Umbra is a restored stone house with wonderful views over olive groves, oak woods and distant villages. This is a place that allows you to feel that the world is as it should be and you are on top of it. All the bedroooms are ensuite and air-conditioned, making this an easy choice for a family holiday, or a friends' reunion trip. Restored in golden local stone, the house retains the feel of its Umbrian country heritage, yet offers comforts a modern guest might wish for.
The surrounding areas are rich in places to visit, with the beautiful hill towns of Todi and Orvieto just a short drive away, and plenty of hill villages with excellent restaurants withing reach.
Accommodation
There are many entrances to the house, all with inviting reasons to choose them. The paved covered patio furnished for outside dining and the incredible valley view leads either into a sitting room with a brick fireplace and comfortable sofas or into a dining room with a refectory table for 12.
Off the sitting room are a shower room and a spacious king double bedroom with en-suite bathroom. Beyond the dining room is a fully equipped eat-in kitchen with double doors out to a patio and pizza oven. A twin bedroom with ensuite bathroom and a queen double bedroom with ensuite shower room on the upper floor can be reached either by the internal staircase in the dining room or by doors off the poolside patio, which is furnished for outdoor dining or watching the children at play in the large pool nearby.
Great attention has been paid to materials and furnishings; beamed ceilings, terracotta floors, good kitchen and bathroom fittings and country antiques find an easy harmony. Behind the house there is a BBQ, which makes gathering poolside for an evening meal and a view of sunset all the more natural.

Around Casa Umbra
As this lovely house is on a fenced estate you can safely bring pets, and explore the surrounding woods and meadows on wonderful walks. Once you venture off the estate, however, there are many interesting outings available. Todi and Orvieto were on the important trade and pilgrim routes towards Rome. As a consequence, this area excels in important sculpture, architecture and paintings, including of course Orvieto's wonderful cathedral, whose facade, like a triptych with the dazzling Technicolor hues of its mosaics and richly beautiful sculptural detail, has earned it the nickname of the "Golden Lily of Cathedrals".
This area is famous for its food and wine, and one of Italy's most famous, (and most expensive) restaurants, Vissani, is very near by, at Baschi on Lake Corbara. There are masses of excellent restaurants everywhere and numerous wine cellars where you can try Orvieto's excellent wines and eat in the outdoor estate restaurant. Even better, you can arrange for an excellent cook to come to the house.
A wonderful place to stay and indulge yourself in a surfeit of views, art, food, wine and, above all, peace, the farmhouse is a perfect foundation for a memorable holiday.

Worth knowing
Many local administrations now charge a “Tourist Tax” for people staying in rented accommodation and these vary from town to town. The charges are generally per person per night with a maximum number of nights, usually around 5 but sometimes 7, beyond which they will not charge. The charges range between 50 cents to 3 euro. Children are sometimes included, sometimes not and these charges should be collected by the property owners.
