Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
With its wooded pastures, pristine parks, and castle-speckled slopes, The Valnerina embodies the enchanting essence of Umbria. You'll find this home here, perched on top of a hill in the medieval village of Scheggino and providing a delightfully peaceful base for exploring the region's wild, untouched beauty. From the outset, this home promises rural charm with its honey-hued facade. The interior certainly delivers, with high beam-clad ceilings, exposed stone walls and plenty of original touches, including a majestic fireplace, where a wood-burning stove promises warmth even on the chilliest of nights. Timber-framed windows present perpetual glimpses of your gloriously green surroundings, and we love the kitchen, fully equipped with home chefs in mind and offering direct access to the balcony. After a restful slumber, spend mornings roosted here, sipping espresso and admiring breathtaking valley views before a hearty breakfast and a day of adventure. You're in a prime spot for exploring, surrounded by Umbria's vast verdant pastures and medieval hilltop towns. Dramatically set against the Apennines Mountains and watched over by a formidable medieval fortress, the ancient city of Spoleto is a seventeen-minute drive away, while the breathtaking Marmore Falls are twenty-one minutes away by car.
