The Queen of the Hill

Dating back 300 years, this traditional farmhouse is located in Italy’s peaceful Umbria region. Offering beautiful country views, you’ll find plenty of sunny spots from which to soak up the scenery, some of our favourites being the infinity pool and Jacuzzi. If you’re worried about keeping the kids entertained, the private playground is bound to impress (there are even peacocks and hens living in the garden if they’re animal lovers). Inside you’ll find plenty of cosy touches blended with little luxuries, so expect grand open fireplaces, exposed brick archways and Jacuzzi baths. If you need to get on top of some work or simply want to enjoy some quiet time with a book, head to the library.

Home truths:
*There's free private parking available here. We'd recommend renting a car to get the most out of your stay.


*An extra bed can be added to one of the twin bedrooms if required. You'll need to request it in advance.


*The twin beds here can be pushed together to form king-size beds if required.


*The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.

*The owner of this home lives close by. She can arrange for a private chef to make pizzas in the pizza oven one evening for free.
