Old Olive Shade

Surrounded by rolling hills and vineyards, this villa is a refined retreat in the heart of Umbria. It has a distinctly modern design (see the picture windows and minimalist furnishings). And there are a few rustic touches too, like the wood burner and the stone-carved wine cellar. But it’s outside where this home really impresses. There’s a sleek infinity pool to make the most of the scenic views, and space for alfresco dining in the shade of the olive trees. Ready to explore? Nearby Campello Alto is a charming 10th-century village, while Spoleto’s cathedral and archaeological museum are a short drive away.
