VILLA IBIS

Villa Ibis - La Bruna – Perugia - Umbria

4 Bedrooms – Heated Pool

Location and Surrounding Area. Immersed in the peaceful Umbrian countryside characterized by gentle hills and green plains, this exclusive four-bedroom property is ideally located to offer complete privacy to its guests and to explore the region’s cultural highlights and most spectacular natural wonders. Perfectly nestled on a panoramic position, Villa Ibis represents the ultimate location for day trips to the most beautiful towns in Umbria and provides a unique opportunity to admire its iconic landscape while soaking up the region’s incredibly rich historical and cultural heritage.

Villa Ibis is just a stone’s throw away from Perugia, Umbria’s largest and most cosmopolitan city. Its historic center rises in a helter-skelter of cobbled alleys, arched stairways and piazzas framed by solemn churches and magnificent palazzi. Reminders of its lively past are everywhere, from ancient arches and medieval basilicas to Renaissance frescoes by the likes of Perugino and Raphael. But while history reverberates all around, Perugia knows how to party: university students pep up the nightlife and fill café terraces, while music-lovers swarm to the city in July for Umbria Jazz, one of Europe’s top jazz festivals.

The villa is also just a stone’s throw away from Gubbio, a charming town built into the steep slopes of Mount Ingino, known for its rich history and culture. Approaching the town, the ruins of a Roman theater built during the 1st century greet visitors while a walk through its steep, winding streets leads to the breathtaking Piazza Grande, the town’s starkly beautiful central square that also houses the imposing 14th-century Palazzo dei Consoli. Get a taste of Gubbio’s cultural heritage at La Festa dei Ceri, one of the oldest folklore festivals in Italy.

In less than one hour by car, you can easily reach Assisi, best known as the birthplace of Saint Francis of Assisi. With the plains spreading picturesquely below and Monte Subasio rearing steep and wooded above, the mere sight of Assisi in the rosy glow of dusk is enough to send pilgrims’ souls spiralling to heaven. It is at this hour, when the town is shrouded in saintly silence, that the true spirit of Saint Francis can be felt most keenly. However, you don’t have to be religious to be struck by Assisi’s beauty and enjoy its pristine historic center and Unesco-listed Basilica, home to one of Italy’s most celebrated artistic masterpieces.

In just one hour by car, you can easily reach Todi: perched on a hilltop high above the winding River Tiber, the pretty town of Todi is like something straight out a fairytale. Narrow, cobbled streets meander its hilly terrain and lead to beautifully preserved medieval monuments like Palazzo del Popolo, one of Italy’s oldest public buildings. Largely untouched by tourism, Todi offers a real slice of peaceful Umbrian life: while you are there, make sure to try local culinary delicacies like slow-cooked pigeon flavoured with herbs, and Grechetto di Todi, a dry white wine made in the area.
