Villa Serra 8

In the green hills of Umbria, Villa Serra is an engaging family home for 8 with long-reaching views of nearby mount Terminillo. In lieu of a pool it has an over-sized Jacuzzi with space for everybody to relax, it's a real pleasure to soak in company and a drink while enjoying the view. The house is surrounded by large green areas belonging to the property, has private parking and the road to reach the villa is comfortable and without holes, it is neither steep nor narrow.

This old stone farmhouse is within walking distance of the charming, egg-like village of Toscolano, a tiny medieval village, far from the classic destinations and unknown to tourists, inhabited by just a few dozen inhabitants and surrounded by the verdant Umbrian countryside, among centuries-old chestnut woods.

For those who decide to plan a holiday in Umbria, Toscolano represents a new and fascinating proposal. Strolling through the characteristic alleys, seeing wonderful views while walking along the paths, will make you rediscover the pleasure of the slow life of the past. Toscolano offers silence and splendid walks, observation points, panoramas, “home-made” kitchens, wheat fields, holm oak woods and chestnut flavors.

The village is under a km away, so a 10-15 min walk, uphill on the way there and downhill on the way back. In the village there is a bar (which also sells basic necessities such as milk) which more or less opens on request. There are also two good restaurants in the village. A pickup truck brings vegetables, fruit and fresh bread to town two mornings a week, honks, serves and leaves.
