Casa Aristo is an exquisitely grand house. The very best in the village! This is because it was the residence of the owner of this private village, who also owns a bijoux hotel in central Rome. However, he now inhabits his new house on the edge of the village, when he is in residence. He travels extensively so is only around occasionally.

Casa Aristo has a sleeping capacity of 10 persons. With 5 double bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms – 3 ensuite, 1 shared plus a cloakroom on the ground floor.

So why is this residence so different to other Umbrian or Tuscan properties of a similar size?

Simple!

Staying here, you can experience Every kind of holiday experience you could wish for!

If you are an exercise junkie, there’s a volley ball pitch, a huge trampoline and a football pitch in the surrounding fields. And, there are acres of private land to run in.

If you enjoy games, there’s a football table, an exercise bike and table tennis in a designated games area in the centre of the village.

If you have children, there’s a specially designed kiddies’ corner in the woods with a slide and swings.

If you prefer to relax, there are picnic areas in the expansive woods, meditation spots in the vast gardens and a pool to recline besides.

If you enjoy cooking (or wish to hire a chef), there’s the large communal aforementioned Verandah that can seat you all, inside or outside. Here is a Bbq and a pizza oven. And there’s a fully fitted kitchen and lounge area so that you don’t mess up your own house when meeting up with one another. This facility is available for all the houses.

Or, you can stay put on your private large terrace. While the surrounding gardens are shared with the neighbouring Casetta cottage, it should be noted that Casa Aristo opens onto a large and very attractive terrace. This terrace is uniquely yours.

If you’re a foodie, you are perfectly located for a gastronomic experience. This area is food paradise. Not least because it’s here that you find the world’s finest olive oils, wines and truffle - all home grown! And that won’t break the bank!!

Just under 2 kms away, in the quaint and well appointed village of Strettura, you’ll find Palazzo Del Papa, a 1st class restaurant and inn where the Pope regularly stayed as he journeyed between Assisi and Rieti. This restaurant, with its beautiful grounds, has been in the same family since time began!!

There are another 3 eateries in Strettura, including a trattoria and a pizzaria. There’s also a butcher, a grocery store and a post office!

Then, just 0.8 kilometres down the steep hill into our village is another wondrous restaurant, Il Capanno. It, too, nestles in sumptuous grounds, and offers 1st class cuisine.

Both these superb restaurants host wedding parties and special events, the latter of which hosted the model, Kate Moss’s, party when she and her entourage stayed at Spoleto Country Park some years ago, when it was a smaller version of itself!

Wander in 6 hectares of wondrous parkland that surrounds an exclusive and private village. A hamlet of pretty cottages, immersed in sensational views.

The village is on different levels and the other cottages are discretely spaced from each other, each with their own private garden, terrace and/or balcony. Except for Casetta that shares a large garden with Casa Aristo.

Importantly, you have total privacy when you stay in Casa Aristo. And, even inside this vast house, there is plenty of space for you all to be private when you want to be.

However, if you are the sociable type, you can meet up with other guests in the village in a number of communal areas :

-the infinity pool with covered seating area
-several pretty park areas with flowers, trees and benches
-the Verandah with its large table, its Bbq and its pizza oven. It also has a fully fitted kitchen and a shower room
-the sports area in the grounds
-the games area in the village
-picnic areas in the woods

However, this property is so vast that, you need not meet up with anyone, should you decide to remain elusive. There are endless tracks and trails within the woods.

From absolutely every point in this Country Park, whether you’re in the village or in the surrounding private parkland and woodlands, you will be hypnotised by heavenly views…..mountains, olive groves, vineyards, fields of sunflowers and bluebells, tiny churches atop hill top villages in a swathe of monasteries and pilgrim trails.

Staying in the midst of Spoleto Country Park, you can explore woods, meditate in nooks and crannies hidden amidst flowers and shrubs, enjoy picnics, play energetic games for children or adults, bake pizzas together, cook delicious Bbqs, swim in the infinity pool or simply enjoy tranquility in an oasis of spectacular countryside.

We can also provide info re a private chef, who will prepare simple meals or a banquet for a special occasion.

Or, you can learn how to make pizza and pasta at a local Spoleto restaurant.

And we can advise re guided tours : olive oil tastings, wine tastings or simply sight seeing - local or further afield.
