Description Umbrian Beauty: Perugia

With sweeping views of olive groves, this home offers an Umbrian escape 2 kilometres from a pizzeria-boasting village. Traditional cherrywood and terracotta make the interiors feel a bit dated, yet we love the grounds here. While the path down to the gated pool may not suit all guests, a vine-wrapped pergola and sunny seating areas offer lovely hangout spots. Depending on your group, the bedrooms can be set up as doubles or twins. Hiring a car is necessary, but Perugia and other hilltop villages are a short drive away.

Home truths:
*While some of the bedrooms and bathrooms aren’t photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*Groups of eight or fewer will have access to only four bedrooms.
*The single beds can be set as doubles upon request. For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom here, but there's a 50-metre path leading to the pool.
*The gated swimming pool is only available to use between the end of May and the end of September – speak to your host for the exact dates. One bathroom is in the pool house, containing a shower, WC, and changing rooms.
*The traditional interiors feel a bit dated.
*There’s free private parking here. We recommend hiring a car.
