Divided into two apartments – each with its own kitchen and living area – it has a cosy, traditional feel, with exposed beams, wrought-iron beds and tiled floors. Outside, you'll have access to a private garden area with a hammock and dining space, while the pool, pizza oven and barbecue are shared with one neighbouring villa. As for the location, the medieval town of Umbertide is just a ten-minute drive away, with Roman ruins, local tavernas and a weekly market to explore.
