Deep within the Umbrian countryside and set on top of a Perugian hill is Cacina Gigliola, has a wonderfully restored medieval farmhouse boasting magnificent views. This updated traditional villa comprises two structures, a main villa and a cottage, the main villa is made up of two independently accessible units, one with six bedrooms, and the other with two bedrooms, while the standalone cottage is an en-suite king bedroom. Based on its simply yet tastefully decorated interiors and well-furnished outdoor gathering spaces that provide guests with many opportunities for unwinding with loved ones or alone while enjoying the breathtaking open sky and lush landscapes, and its fortuitous position that offers access to the many culinary, historical, and artistic treasures of Umbria, “the green heart of Italy,” Gigliola serves as an exceptional leisure destination.

The Main villa consist of a open-plan living room, dining room, and kitchen area features plenty of space and seating for entertaining or just relaxing, complete with plush sofas, a large LCD TV, and a fireplace, and connects to a separate additional living room. These rooms have double doors that lead to the outdoor gathering areas. The well-equipped open kitchen has a small table for additional counter space or for a simple bite. A guest’s bathroom as well as a laundry room complete this floor. Two stairways lead up to the separate parts of the main villa’s first floor.

AnnexOn the ground floor the living room is great for easygoing gatherings, while the fully equipped kitchen features also a dining table.

Outside one can enjoy relaxing moments with loved ones, or in peaceful solitude, at the private heated infinity pool 15 m x 7 m x 1.5 m deep with built-in steps or in the adjoining Jacuzzi that can fit 8 persons. Furnished with parasols, sun beds, and chairs, the infinity pool and the pool deck overlook an impressive medieval estate against a lush backdrop of green forests and hills. Furnished terraces and a pergola with a dining table, seating for 18, and a BBQ, are ideal for enjoying meals al fresco with wide views of the Umbrian countryside. A private putting green and putters are available, for those who can’t wait to access the nearby 18-hole golf course.

Due to its proximity to Tuscany, any traveler who goes from Florence to Rome by land should pass through Umbria. This region is worth a visit of its own for the beautiful landscapes and enchanting lakes. Several filmmakers found it to be the perfect location for movies such as The English Patient, Life is Beautiful and Under the Tuscan Sun (despite its namesake). Perugia is the capital city and is renowned for hosting the annual Umbria Jazz Festival, held in July, and the Eurochocolate Festival at the Perugina Chocolate Factory, in October.
There are several notable tourist attractions throughout the region. Lake Trasimeno, the fourth largest lake in Italy, offers a plethora of activities for the sporty vacationers. The medieval town of Deruta has been producing hand-made majolica ceramics for centuries and it is the ideal place to buy some home decor to bring home. Check the Ceramics Museum on the hilltop main piazza. Spoleto is arguably one of Umbria's most beautiful hill towns, and renowned host of the Festival dei Due Mondi (Festival of the Two Worlds), annual summer music and opera festival held each June to early July. You may also want to sample the Umbrian wine along the Sagrantino Wine Road near Spoleto and Moltefalco, which is lined with wineries, many of them open for tastings.
Assisi is the birthplace of St. Francis, where you can enjoy a visit to the Basilica di San Francesco which is listed as a world heritage site by UNESCO. Last, but not least, is Orvieto known for its wine (Orvieto Classico, a dry fine white wine) and because is one of the main centers of Italy's Slow Food. Do not miss to visit its magnificent Duomo, considered the most glorious example of Italian Gothic style.
