Romantic Hideaway with Spectacular Views, a Pool and Wood Fired HotTub.

The house occupies an elevated and secluded position within the grounds of the main house, La Carpinetta, and enjoys its own separate access and complete privacy. The house is available from the beginning of March to the end of October.

Sheltered behind by centuries old oaks, the views from the house are breathtaking, looking up to the Valley of the Calanchi, with woods, streams and open pastures in the foreground, giving way to the white cliffs of the Calanchi in the distance. Facing directly west, the sunsets have to be seen to be believed.

The house has recently been converted from a traditional stone building to an extremely high standard, using best quality materials. The accommodation provides a very light and spacious open plan living area and kitchen / dining area with large picture window, with traditional wooden beamed ceilings throughout, two comfortable and airy double bedrooms, and a lovely new bathroom with all modern amenities.

The comfortable living, dining, and the two bedrooms are furnished with an attractive mix of good quality and comfortable modern and antique furniture, and many original works of art. The two bedrooms and living room are equipped with efficient and silent ceiling fans.

The extensive and completely private terrace runs the entire length of the house, well equipped with tables, chairs, sun loungers, sun umbrella and an additional shaded area, providing ample opportunities for intimate al fresco dining and sunbathing while enjoying the spectacular views. There is also a table tennis set on the gravelled area next to the terrace, a barbecue and, from March 2024, an open air wood fired hot tub, overlooking the valley, where to enjoy a glass of wine while immersed in your own hot water spa! The Hot Tub is available from October till May.

A flight of steps takes you to the delightful pool, with sun loungers and large umbrellas, where you’ll find a vine covered pergola with table and chairs. The pool (10mx5mx1.50) is open from the beginning of June to the end of September and is shared occasionally with the owners when they are in residence.

The property is reached by its own access track, approximately 1.6 Km from the main road, which winds through forests of oak, hornbeam and hazel. The area is one of outstanding natural beauty and is protected.

Well behaved dogs are welcome to stay but the owners must be aware that there are sheep, wild boar and deer in the area, although the garden of the house is fenced. They are not allowed on sofas or beds. They will find a good playmate in our friendly dog Monty. There is an extra cleaning charge of £20.

The world famous hilltop village of Civita di Bagnoregio, a Unesco Heritage site, is only a few kilometres away at the head of the valley.

There are wonderful walks directly from the house all around the valley and to the hill top village of Civitella d'Agliano where there are shops, an ATR next to the post office, restaurants and a petrol station.

La Casa del Pastore is a haven of peace, tranquillity and total privacy, completely immersed in nature and abounding in the most amazing wildlife and yet it's only a short distance by car to local villages where shops, banks and restaurants can be found.

From here it's easy to explore the many beautiful medieval villages and historical towns of Alto Lazio and Umbria and Tuscany, like Orvieto, Todi, Viterbo, Siena, just to name a few. In a word la Casa del Pastore is the perfect location for those - like us - who love to be where nature and culture can be enjoyed at the same time.

As far as activities available in the area, fantastic bathing and watersports are found at the beautiful and unspoilt Lago di Bolsena, half an hour away.

La Casa del Pastore provides one or two couples with an unparalleled opportunity to enjoy this little known area of Italy, with its many local attractions and rich cultural heritage, in complete privacy and a high degree of comfort.

AN ADDITIONAL 2 BED ACCOMMODATION IN THE MEDIEVAL TOWER BY THE POOL is available at £400 per week+ £70 initial and final cleaning and bedlinen rental. The tower offers two single beds and a toilet with washbasin.

We Had A Great Time!
Thank you Manuela and Martin for all your advice and assistance. We had a great time! The property itself has all the facilities and is located in beautiful surroundings. It's certainly "off the beaten track" but benefits from the very peaceful environment. We took your advice about the local attractions and made some real discoveries - there's lots to see in the area! Perhaps I should conclude by making one confession and apology; we broke one of your red wine glasses. Or rather, a sudden gust of wind literally blew the glass off of the patio table. Sorry about that. Once again, thanks again for a splendid holiday.

A gem!
The house was a real gem - fantastic all around. Truly off-off the beaten track, peaceful, with all the amenities you may need. It was very clean, super comfortable and really enjoyable. We stayed for 7 nights and could have easily stayed longer. Lots of small villages to visit within less than 1 hour and Orvieto is also close. The hosts, Manuela and Martin, were superb - friendly, quick to respond to any question or request we had. In short - highly recommended

Peaceful Retreat
The house is very comfortable and beautifully furnished with amazing views of the surrounding countryside. Manuela is the perfect host and welcomes you with all the information that you will need. Also wine and beer is waiting for you when you arrive. The nearest village is a lovely but steep walk away with great coffee. We had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend anyone to stay.

Our peaceful and perfect week Umbria
Tranquil, serene escape in the Umbrian countryside with a perfect balance of amenities, location, captivating views and amazing hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay at La Casa Pastore at Carpinetta. We found the property to be secluded/private and authentic/rustic while still maintaining all the amenities of a modern home (tastefully and thoughtfully decorated with all new appliances and furniture throughout). We loved that we could hike down to the valley and up into the village next door in the early mornings for coffee and cornetti, take a dip in the pool back at the house and then head out for adventures and day trips in Umbria and Tuscany. We’re already planning to come back next year!

Great place, great host, highly recommended
The property is really well thought out, spacious, comfortable and well equipped with high quality items (e.g. excellent kitchen knives and pots and pans, large fridge freezer and so on). Manuela was easy to contact and very friendly and helpful. The property is a great place to relax in beautiful countryside and there are plenty of things to see and do, too. My top tips would be: use the excellent guide Manuela and Martin have put together for you, hire/bring a vehicle with a bit of ground clearance for bumpy roads, the local wine is ridiculously cheap and delicious so drink plenty of it, if you are fit and have a decent pair of shoes you can walk (down and up really steep slopes) to Civitella d'Agliano where a cold beer will never have tasted so refreshing (!) and yes you can do a day trip to Rome from Casa del Pastore (we drove to Junio metro station, paid €1.50 to park all day in the station car park and took the metro straight to the Colosseum - easy!). After years without a holiday, and having previously had some excellent holidays in other parts of Italy, this had high hopes to live up to - which it did 😁 Many thanks to Manuela and Martin and I encourage you to click book and not miss out!

Une maison merveilleuse
D’abord le paysage : au milieu d’une magnifique nature, comme dans un tableau de la Renaissance ( avec une belle piscine !). Ensuite la maison : une bergerie entièrement réaménagée, à la fois chaleureuse et confortable. Puis la région, avec des merveilles artistiques à foison, presque sans touristes. Enfin, l’accueil : 1000 merci à Manuela et Martin !

Really nice!
We were staying at a beautiful house situated on top of a mountain with stunning views. The location was absolutely breathtaking, with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The house itself was spacious and well-appointed, with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The highlight for me was the gorgeous pool, which was the perfect spot for relaxation. The nearby villages were charming and full of character, offering a glimpse into local life and culture. I enjoyed exploring the narrow streets, browsing the local shops, and trying the delicious cuisine at the quaint cafes and restaurants. Overall, my stay at this mountain-top house was truly unforgettable. The combination of the stunning views, comfortable accommodations, and proximity to charming villages made for a perfect getaway. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful and picturesque retreat.

Erholung pur
Ein sehr schönes und gut ausgestattetes Häuschen mit wunderbarem Ausblick und Ausflugs- und auch Wandermöglichkeiten in der Umgebung. Der HotTub war bei der Jahreszeit eine perfekte Ergänzung zur Urlaubserholung. Die Gastgeber Manuela und Martin waren unglaublich nett, unkompliziert und hilfsbereit. Wir hatten eine tolle erholsame Woche mit vielfältigen Eindrücken. Gerne kommen wir wieder.

A wonderful holiday
A wonderful holiday in a great landscape, with awsome sunsets and lovely hosts. The only small drawback was the incorrect display on FeWo, in which the house is described as air-conditioned. Since the temperatures drop sharply at night, even in midsummer, we managed without air conditioning. We would love to come back.

La casa di campagna su misura
La nostra è stata, senza esagerare la vacanza ideale! Il luogo è molto più bello di come si immagini: paesaggi che sembrano usciti da un quadro del Rinascimento, casa deliziosa, comoda e arredata con gusto. La piscina, immersa nel verde è tenuta in maniera impeccabile. E nei dintorni tante località affascinanti e interessanti da visitare. Noi ci torneremo: abbiamo lasciato il cuore alla Casa del pastore!!!

Wonderful house in the countryside
We very much enjoyed the house and the beautiful surroundings. The pool is very nice and the house is well equipped - one of the best we have stayed at. The house is located quite remotely, which on the one hand means that it is very peaceful and beautiful but also that it is quite a drive to get anywhere. You can get to e.g. Viterbo in about an hour, but don't expect that things are right around the corner.

Excellent séjour
Nous sommes tombés sous le charme de cette jolie maison. Le cadre est reposant et le paysage environnant grandiose. Très bien aménagée et équipée, décorée avec goût, on s’y est sentis comme chez nous. D’ailleurs, Manuela la propriétaire des lieux que nous avons rencontrée a le souci qu’on s’y sente bien et a été adorable…! L’espace piscine est propre et bien entretenu.Il est lui aussi très agréable et bien aménagé. Le seul point négatif est la distance/et le temps à parcourir pour faire des courses mais la tranquillité a un prix ! Vous l’aurez compris, nous recommandons cette location et nous espérons y retourner un jour ! Hélène et Jérôme

Beautiful stone house with stunning views, great swimming pool and all the privacy you need!
This is a real amazing place to stay for my holiday! I wanted a secluded place, private swimming pool and a beautiful view. That's what I got and even more! I was overwhelmed by the stunning views and very comfortable house with all the amenities one needs. Even a robot vacuum cleaner, which makes live on holiday even more relaxing ;-) Sitting at the porch at the first two evenings I unwinded totally. Here you really can see all the stars at night like little light pins in a dark blue sky. The owners are very good hosts and can provided me with all the information I needed about the area and places i visited. The house stays cool during the warm and hot days and has ceiling fans to get the fresh air in at night. That was very comfortable during sleeping. I could sit for hours outside, just looking at the rock formations in the distance. A dip in the pool is even more fantastic and lying in the sun next to it, This was a well spend holiday in a fantastic house, with very nice, friendly hosts place in the amazing countryside of beautiful Lazio. Thank you for your hospitality Manuela and Martin and until next time!

Très beau séjour à Carpinetta !
Nous avons passé 15 jours à 4 courant aout dans la villa. Cette ancienne bergerie, très bien restaurée, surplombe un magnifique vallon où nous avons aperçu des biches, une famille de sangliers, des moutons... L'endroit, isolé, est très calme et le panorama superbe. La maison est agréable, joliment décorée, fonctionnelle et toujours fraiche car orientée à l'ouest et à l'ombre de grands arbres. La piscine, aux dimensions appréciables, est située plus haut, en face de la maison des propriétaires qui étaient absents durant notre séjour et nous avaient invités à cueillir les fruits et légumes de leur jardin. Manuela s'est montrée très à l'écoute lors de nos échanges et nous a adressé des guides utiles pour découvrir cette très belle région d'Italie. Un bilan très positif donc !
