Vacation Rental Description
In the heart of Umbria, near the ancient city of Perugia, Villa Aureli stands like a jewel in a hilly countryside, where lines of pine trees mark the horizon. The Villa dates back to the 18th century when Count Sperello Aureli restored a 16th century tower adorning it with frescoes, prints, and painted furniture. Among the wonders of the house, the colourful Vietri ceramic floors, different in each room, the bright fist floor gallery, the garden ornamental walls and the orangerie. The present owner, Sperello di Serego Alighieri, works on astrophysics at the Firenze Observatory. He offers two large apartments where the guests enjoy the rare beauty of the villa, and two beautiful apartments in the house of Adolfo, the former gardner, who saved all the furniture of the villa from the threats of Second World War. The guests of each apartment enjoy private spaces in the garden 'all'italiana', among the large potted lemon and orange plants or in the shade of the ancient linden trees. The park offers a wonderful view on the hilly, peaceful Umbrian countryside. The swimming pool (12x4), once an ancient water cistern, is set in a sheltered area of the park, with southern exposure. Upon booking, we serve typical dinners with our wines. The house of Adolfo
During world war II Villa Aureli was used as headquarters by the german first and then by the allied troops. Adolfo Guelfi was the faithful gardener who saved all the furniture and precious objects contained in the villa by walling them up in a hidden room. His house was built in the eighteenth century and is adjacent to the orangerie; it has been recently restored respecting the original features. It has air conditioning and modern facilities, and original furniture from the villa. Direct access to the garden and to the swimming pool, and private spaces for open-air dining.
Adolfo West
This apartment (120 sqm) has an indepent entrance from Adolfo's courtyard via an external staircase. On the ground floor, it features a living room with kitchen and dining space. The kitchen has a microwave oven, a fridge with freezer and a dishwasher. The living room has a flat-screen TV with home theater for DVDs, audio CDs and MP3 CDs. On the first floor there is a wide bedroom with king-size bed, fireplace, and an additional sofa-bed; this room has a private bathroom with tub/shower and hair-dryer. On the second floor there is another bedroom with king-size bed, a private bathroom with shower and hair-dryer, and a beautiful view on the garden.
The guests of each apartment have a private entrance and private spaces in the large garden, to relax and to enjoy dinner outside by candlelight. They all have access to the swimming pool, made out the ancient water cistern of the vegetable garden. The internet point is situated under an old linden tree in the main courtyard: it is actually an internet tree!

Owners Profile
Astrophysicist, descendant of Dante
The family has owned Villa Aureli for about 160 years. My father Leonardo started renting holiday apartments about 30 years ago. I am following his example and his taste, while keeping up with my work as an astrophysicist at the Arcetri Observatory in Florence.
Being born at Villa Aureli and having spend there my first 18 years, I have a special feeling with the house and I could'nt say if I love best the villa or my work.
Nevertheless I realize that for such a home, although it is now mine, I am just passing, and the important thing is not to do damage and at the same time keep it full of life. Therefore I like to share it with our guests.
