Beautifully renovated farmhouse in Umbria, pool, stunning views, sleeps 10-12

I Tre Cipressi is a beautifully renovated farmhouse in Umbria with many traditional features of a rural home. It has been furnished with every modern convenience too – the cotto tiles and beamed ceilings sit comfortably with the modern, well equipped kitchen and the living room with its large windows and working fireplace. This is a house designed for comfort, style and charm.

There are stunning views from inside and outside the house across a valley to Monte Castello di Vibio, and the property is surrounded by olive groves, vineyards and fields. The pool area is surrounded by lawns and the raised terrace is a perfect spot to eat, sunbathe and sleep. For people not wanting to lose touch with the outside world there is WiFi access throughout the house and pool area.

The ground floor of the property is open plan, leading from the very well equipped kitchen (double fridge freezer, separate wine fridge, range hob, microwave and “island” table), through the dining room to the living room. The front of the house looks out over views to Monte Castello di Vibio and the back looks out over the garden, which includes a pizza oven and grill well stocked with wood for outdoor cooking.

Upstairs are three large double bedrooms, one with en suite, a further bathroom, and a twin bedroom (ideal for two children). On the lower ground floor there is a large bedroom with a double bed, bunk beds and a single sofa bed, providing flexibility for up to four or five additional children, together with a third bathroom. All three bathrooms in the house have stand-alone showers and a bath.

There is a covered porch area with table and chairs at the front of the house, the perfect spot to catch the morning sun and enjoy breakfast outdoors. For lunch and dinner, double doors from the living room lead out to a pergola covering a terraced area with dining table and chairs for up to fourteen. Views from this “second dining room” are spectacular, of the pool, gardens and surrounding countryside.

There is a vegetable garden and a wide range of fruit trees, all of which guests are encouraged to enjoy. The house sits on almost three hectares of land, some of which is managed by the neighbouring farmer. The house, pool and gardens are all very well maintained by a husband and wife team who live locally, and who will welcome all guests at the beginning of their stay.
