The country location for creating your unique Umbrian experience

THE AREA;

The Villa is located in peaceful hilly countryside 8 kilometers from the town of Umbertide in central Italy in the province of Umbria, The guests have their own entrance gate way which opens onto the SP142 road which is surprisingly lacking in traffic and consequently the Villa gets very little noise.

WHAT IS IN THE AREA

The villa's location gives opportunity to discover the delights of the Upper Tiber Valley, Perugia, Assisi, Citta di Castello, Montone and San Sepulcro, all to the east, All comfortably reachable within an hour's drive.
Whilst over the hills to the west lies the Val di Chiana with Lake Trasimeno and the towns of Passignano and Castiglione, Guests can cycle round the fourth largest lake in Italy (on dedicated cycle paths) ; or take a leisurely boat trip out to its islands. A little further away Cortona and Arezzo are within easy reach, Orvieto, Siena, Montepulciano and Pienza are also good options for days out into Umbria and Tuscany,

There are also options to take trains. The local services from Umbertide runs north to Citta di Castello, and south to the main line at Perugia with connections to Rome.

If a day in the cities are in mind; then trains from Terontola-Cortona offer the best options to go to Firenze (Florence) in around 90 minutes or Rome in 2 hours. Terontola is an easy 45 minute drive from Villa Monestevole.

Some of our previous guests have arrived by train and the owners have then helped with collection from rail stations as taxi's are a rarity and expensive. We also have contacts for car hire locally at substantially cheaper rates than the main vendors.
