Vacation Rental Description
Secluded yet easily accessible, Il Casale di Mele is the perfect setting, providing the tranquility of the countryside but within easy reach of E45 which leads to many famous hill towns as well as parts of Tuscany. Just 5 years old, the farmhouse was built with authentic regional materials including antique doors, heavy chestnut beams, hand forged ironwork and antique stone fireplaces. The farmhouse sleeps 6 plus 2 (see below for more details). 
 
Typical of country villas, there is no central air conditioning, however the thick stone walls and screened windows allow the villa to remain cool even during the hottest months of the year. The screened windows allow you to enjoy the fresh country air with scents of lavender, jasmine, and wild flowers wafting from room to room. 
 
Il Casale di Mele is completely fenced and upon entering it’s iron gates you come up the circular driveway surrounded by wild lavender, rosemary, and olive trees. Once you enter inside the farmhouse, you walk into a large open living room complete with new comfortable furniture chosen to enhance the country atmosphere that is settled invitingly around the large antique wood burning fireplace. Along one wall hangs a large flat screen television with a DVD player and stereo. Two large windows sit at each side of the fireplace allowing you to enjoy views of the rolling hills behind the property even while you are indoors. 
 
The living room is open to the large country kitchen which boasts a large center island that contains a high end gas cooktop. There is also a convection wall oven, a microwave oven, as well as a large commercial sized refrigerator freezer. The kitchen is bright and sunny with a large window over the sink that allows you to see for miles. The French style kitchen doors open to a large stone covered terrace with climbing sweet smelling jasmine surrounded by an olive trees. The terrace also holds a new table that seats 8 for dining al fresco as well as a barbeque for those evenings when you prefer to dine at home. There is another antique fireplace in the kitchen that is open to the dining room. The dining room is furnished with a large dining hutch as well as an antique table that seats 8 people comfortably. 
 
From the other side of the living room you can access the study which holds a couch that can open as a double bed to sleep an additional adult as needed. Down the hall, you come to a bedroom with a private en-suite bathroom. The bed is matrimonial size, which is slightly larger than a US Queen size bed. The en-suite bath has both a large tub as well as an enclosed shower. 
 
Along the hall is another bathroom with an enclosed shower and tub. Followed by this bathroom, is a second bedroom with twin beds. Both bedrooms contain large clothing closets and are newly painted and decorated with typical country style bed linens. The last room on the main floor is a large laundry room with a washing machine, drying hanger, ironing board, and iron. 
 
The second story holds the third bedroom which has it’s own walk-in closet, and bathroom containing a large tub as well as a stand alone enclosed shower. This room also has it’s own private balcony which looks out over the green rolling Umbrian countryside, and is a perfect spot to sit each evening and watch the stunning sunsets while enjoying a delicious glass of Umbrian wine. 
 
Next to the house contained by a gated fence is the large three level pool and huge stone sunbathing terrace. The pool is equipped with a warm water shower, lounge chairs and umbrellas. The pool terrace allows views of the scenic rolling Umbrian hills behind and looks up at Collazzone, the small town above.

We will have a welcome gift basket upon arrival.

    No photographs or description of your home compare to the moment we walked into your farmhouse for the first time and realized that your home surpassed our expectations. The little “extras” like the gift basket and baked goods made us immediately very comfortable in your home and beautiful surroundings. Your generous hospitality including your tips for the area and the GPS helped us to find some of the many treasures in Umbria. We loved the markets, and our favorite towns were Todi, Orvieto, Montefalco, and Spoleto. We only wish we had more time to explore!

    We hope to some day return to Il Casale di Mele

Deborah and Louie, you make your guests feel as if they are living next to their best friends. Thank you for your hospitality and wonderful treats. You went beyond the “norm”. We are so glad we stumbled upon your website.

    Thank you so much for hosting our week, our most memorable week, at Il Casale di Mele. The website photos are beautiful, but when you arrive you realize quickly that your expectations have been exceeded. We sincerely appreciated your sharing the Umbrian experience - from the TomTom programming to the pool-side conversations- not to forget the unbelievable wine tasting and delectable appetizer evening. Thanks for your company, the fantastic weather, and most importantly, thanks for making this such an enjoyable and memorable holiday week!

    La Bella Umbria…..Il Casale di Mele welcomed us with open arms. We spent our time alternating days of touring the hill towns with days of relaxing by the pool.
