Vacation Rental Description
Located in the green region of Umbria, in an area famous for Medieval villages like Monte Santa Maria Tiberina and Trevine, a mere 10-15 km away from cultural centres such as Citta` di Castello, Umbertide and Montone, “Montecchio” is a fully restored villa built on a lookout tower dating back to the 12th century.
Set on a hill, 370 m above sea level, this holiday home offers unrivalled views of the surrounding hills, with their woods, lakes and cultivated fields. The house is laid out on two floors above the ground floor. On the first floor are two bedrooms, one with two single beds, and the other larger bedroom with a double bed. On this same floor there is also a lounge area with a double-sleeper couch and satellite TV, bathroom with separate shower, a modern kitchen, and a central hall with a large stone fireplace. The upper level consists of an airy loft offering spectacular views of the Tiber valley, and is equipped with comfortable couches, a bookcase, and TV system. The interiors are furnished in authentic antique pieces, and collections of historical and cultural interest are on display.
“Villa Montecchio” is surrounded by an area of wildlife rehabilitation and horse pastures, and the two-hectare park that surrounds the house contributes to the villa’s tranquil setting. Guests at the villa enjoy exclusive use of a large swimming pool with outdoor shower, barbecue, and comfortable deck chairs.
