The Property
Surrounded by 280 acres of private farmland and nestled atop a verdant Umbrian hill, Villa Umberta offers panoramic views, unparalleled tranquillity, and effortless charm. Once owned by the Pavarotti family and now lovingly restored by its current owners over two decades, this stone house has been transformed into an eclectic retreat. Accommodating up to 12 guests across six bedrooms, Villa Umberta is composed of a main house with three bedrooms and three independent cottages, each with one bedroom.

The gardens include an 18-metre heated pool with sculpted shallow-end seating and a nearby shaded pergola for dining and relaxing. There is also a tennis court, a glass-walled gym, and a fire pit for evenings outdoors. Guests can enjoy an ancient pizza oven, barbecue, and fresh herbs and vegetables from the garden. Olive and fruit trees line peaceful paths, with spots to sit or explore. A tennis table, six bicycles, and several outdoor dining areas add to the relaxed atmosphere.

Main House (3 Bedrooms):
Inside the main house, guests are welcomed by a series of living spaces: a library, a games room with a flat-screen TV, and a salon leading into a dining area. Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms: one with a king-size bed and the other two with twin beds that can be joined together. Two of the bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, while the third has a private bathroom just outside the room. The master bedroom has a bathtub, while the other two have showers.

The interiors feature a refined blend of handcrafted furniture and curated pieces from around the world, creating an inviting and characterful atmosphere. On the ground floor, a well-appointed kitchen, a spacious pantry, a convenient guest bathroom, and a charming wine cantina complete the setting. A state-of-the-art sound system enhances the ambience throughout both the indoor and outdoor areas, while full laundry facilities offer added convenience for longer stays.

3 Cottages (Each with 1 Bedroom):
The three cottages, each with a bedroom, bathroom, and fully equipped kitchen, are thoughtfully positioned throughout the gardens to offer privacy and serenity. Perfect for couples or small families (with sofa beds suitable for children under 12), each features a private patio, dining area, and a small cactus garden with lawn. A baby cot is available upon request. Whether you are seeking a restorative escape, a creative retreat, or a joyful celebration with loved ones, Villa Umberta is a rare gem.
